This six-disc box set draws together all six volumes of the Tom and Jerry Classic Collection and is packed with nearly nine hours of cartoon capers from everyone's favourite cat and mouse. Volume 1 Collecting together the works of each producer, Classic Collection Volume 1 starts with the cartoons of the great Fred Quimby and also includes the Hanna Barbera years 1940-1958. Hollywood legend Quimby is largely regarded as creator of the very best Tom and Jerry episodes. He won seven Academy Awards for various Tom and Jerry shorts and received numerous nominations for his animated works. Volume 2 Tom and Jerry Classic Collection Volume 2continues with the works of Hollywood legend Fred Quimby, who worked closely with Hanna Barbera and together they set the high standard of animation, music, timing and humour for which Tom and Jerry are renowned. Classic Collection 2 includes the Academy Award-winning cartoon shorts "The Cat Concerto" and "The Little Orphan", the Academy Award-nominated "Dr Jekyll and Mr Mouse" and "Hatch Up Your Troubles", plus 20 other classics. Volumes 3 and 4 Tom and Jerry Classic Collections 3 and 4 brings together the works of Hollywood legends Fred Quimby, Gene Deitch, Chuck Jones and Hanna Barbera, the dream team who presented the pair at their brawling best and won 7 Academy Awards along the way. Volumes 5 and 6 of the Tom and Jerry collection features 58 cartoons, each packed with yet more crazy cat and mouse antics. As Tom and Jerry collections go, this takes some beating. Note: The discs without the print of disc numbers are double sided discs.

MAKE SURE you have access to a player which can play this region!!!
Many people write negative reviews on this product for either the region 2 lock or for the missing two episodes. However this is the most complete dvd collection you will find, for the most reasonable price. Just make absolute certain you have either a region free, region 2, or changeable-region player with which to play them (typically dvd drives can change regions a limited number of times, or if you have a gaming console which can play dvds, check to see if you can change the region). If you wish to find the two missing episodes, their names are “Million Dollar Cat” and “Busy Buddies”. But other than that I love the series and the quality of everything has been more than good enough for me.

Discs do not play
I bought this as a gift and when we tried to play them, we keep getting an error message. We tried all of our devises and it keeps saying the same thing, disc error, disc unreadable, and even unable to play in your region. I contacted the company and still have not heard back from them and it has been almost a month. Very disappointed and my child is even more disappointed, since it was her birthday present. Unacceptable....

Make sure to check deets on the item before purchasing
The only thing I didn’t like about it was that it was DVD compatible for everyone. I’m grateful that the PS4 can change the code to have the dvd play. I didn’t like that it fast forwarded on one of the episodes but other than that this is great!! I’m so happy with al these volumes! They play great and I love Tom and Jerry. I’m so excited about introducing my daughter to Tom and Jerry when she gets older. Tom and Jerry was my all time favorite cartoon and always will be. So happy with this purchase!!!

Read the description and do a little research before complaining
Its kind of funny and also kind of depressing how stupid some people are that have left negative reviews here. The reviews I'm referring to have nothing to do with the quality of the product or the show itself, they're all about how the discs are defective and just won't play on their machines. Boo-Hoo, cry me a river. The box and the description clearly state that the set is Region 2 and the discs are in PAL format, which means they will not play on North American payers (which are NTSC). It doesn't mean they're defective, that would be these reviewers reading comprehension skills.Region Free DVD and BluRay players are available. The DVD players can be found for as low as $30 while the bluesy players are considerably more expensive. Just search for Region Free or All Region DVD and/or Blu Ray players. I hope this helps those who may not be aware of this issue and are savvy enough to do a little bit of research instead of being childish and ignoring things in the description that they don't understand and then writing poor reviews.By the way, this is a pretty good set. It doesn't have any special features or extras but if you're a fan of Tom and Jerry there are hours and hours of the cartoons you love for a fairly good price, all with good quality picture and sound.

Almost returned it.
It didn’t play in my Panasonic DP-UB820-K Blu-ray Player so I gave it a try in my PS5 and it worked great you get an option in playstation 5 to change region set it to region 2 and you’re set. Great collection!

Fantastic Collection of Tom and Jerry
Yes, it’s Region 2 and required me to purchase a region free DVD player, but it was so worth it. The quality of the cartoons, sound and picture, are excellent. It says the run time for the collection is 888 minutes, which seems right. If you like Tom and Jerry, this collection is a must-have. Nearly 15 hours of great entertainment!
