WARNER HOME VIDEOEXPANDS ITS CLASSIC ANIMATION LIBRARY
WITH THE DVD RELEASE OF
TOM AND JERRY: CHUCK JONES COLLECTION
AVAILABLE JUNE 23, 2009
Collection includes 34 Re-mastered Theatrical Shorts available together on DVD for the First Time and All-New Documentaries
BURBANK, CA (March 3, 2009) – The distinct artistic style of legendary animator Chuck Jones is the focus of Warner Home Video’s (WHV) latest release of classic Tom and Jerry cartoon shorts which will be available on DVD June 23, 2009. Titled, Tom and Jerry: Chuck Jones Collection, this must-have collector’s set will feature all 34 dazzling theatrical shorts produced by Jones along with bonus material. This DVD will retail for $26.99 SRP.
The Chuck Jones era of Tom and Jerry cartoons began when the famed animator was engaged to head a newly formed animation department at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in 1963. This new chapter in Jones’ career followed his nearly 30-year tenure at Warner Bros. where he honed his very distinctive style of art and comedy, creating some of the most memorable films of all time. His new arrangement with MGM led to several prominent projects including How The Grinch Stole Christmas, the feature adaptation of The Phantom Tollbooth, and 34 theatrical short subjects featuring the studio’s most popular animated characters, Tom and Jerry.
Jones brought his own unique sensibilities to the characters of Tom & Jerry, giving the cartoons a contemporary feel, and relying more on subtlety and satire for comedy vs. the more traditional slapstick gags of the earlier Tom and Jerry cartoons. This collection from WHV brings these shorts to DVD, together for the first time, completely re-mastered in their original theatrical widescreen format for stunning picture and sound quality. The 34 shorts will be available in a two-disc set, featuring new collectible slipcase packaging and two new bonus documentaries; Tom and Jerry…and Chuck as well as Chuck Jones: Memories of a Childhood.
“We’ve had the pleasure of releasing several Tom and Jerry collections over the years but this is the first compilation to exclusively feature the work of Chuck Jones,” commented Amit Desai, WHV Vice President of Family, Animation & Sports Marketing. He added, “All the cartoons featured on this DVD collection have been re-mastered, so they look and sound as vibrant and beautiful as they did when they were first released over forty years ago.” We think Tom and Jerry as well as animation fans will want to make this DVD part of their home entertainment collection.”
