The work of one of animation's master talents on one of its most enduring series is gathered in this collection, showcasing 34 examples of literal cat-and-mouse games as overseen by Warner Bros. alumnus Jones starting in the mid-1960s.

His efforts relied less on the physical humor that had typified earlier "Tom and Jerry" short subjects, and more on comedy of a cerebral nature – which didn't mean it still couldn't be enjoyed by all ages. DVD extras: two documentaries. *** (Not rated: V)
