Tom and Jerry: The Classic Collection
Tom and Jerry: The Classic Collection is a series of DVD sets released by Warner Home Video featuring Tom and Jerry. These DVDs are available in 6 double-sided DVDs (issued in the United Kingdom) and 12 single-layer DVDs (issued throughout Europe and Australia). The DVDs in the UK were re-released as "Collector Editions", which were Digipak versions with 2 Volumes inside.
None of the cartoons in the set have been restored; all were sourced by TV prints created by Turner Entertainment in the 1990s for Cartoon Network and Boomerang airings. Some of the cartoons in these DVD sets are censored due to perceived racial stereotypes.
Shorts produced in CinemaScope are presented in pan and scan for showing on the 4:3 aspect ratio television screen, except for remake shorts The Egg and Jerry, Tops with Pops and Feedin' the Kiddie. These shorts are not in anamorphic widescreen, like the American Spotlight collections; instead, they are in a 4:3 windowbox format.
