Ron, I didn't post snippets of anything. What I posted was from the chat transcript made available on The Digital Bits site. I didn't post the whole chat for length purposes but I can. I just posted the part that concerning the Tom and Jerry DVSs Eddie Estes

I am not blaming Mr Feltenstein any more than I am Jerry Beck. They both got bad info. I hope nobody else here is blaming them either. I am sure the blame goes futher up in WHV or Warner animation!!!! I say this to both Mr. Beck and Mr Feltenstein your efforts are appreciated!

I have the complete chat transcript if anybody doubts me. Eddie Estes

YES! From the Home Theater Forum Chat April 2003 [JeffKleist] Why are we getting Tom & Jerry best-ofs when Japan has all of the "good" (non-buddy) ones at a very low price in both censored and uncensored versions, and now the UK is getting the same discs? I will import them if i have to, I'd...

This needs to be fussed about. Maybe the next film that is butchered might be one you really want TravisR

No we just want the Tom and Jerry shorts the way they were made. Just like a Casablanca fan wouldn't want parts of that film cut out. These films are important too.

I don't know how many ways I have to say this. There was a Warner Rep at either a chat here or on another site that said: The set in question would be remastered and uncut. I have a good memory this is exactly what was said. Jerry Beck said it was Warners policy not to release edited...

Well if it you act a certain way chances are you are going to be classified that way. In a chat announcing this set it was stated in no uncertain terms that this set would be chronological and uncut. They lied!!! They left Jerry Beck hung out to dry as well as all the customers that purchased...

I would be willing to bet that they used tranfers from the Art of Tom and Jerry laserdiscs. If that is the case and I think it is what is there to remaster?

So, does WB's have 'un-edited' versions of ALL of these titles They were uncut or less cut on the Art of Tom and Jerry laserdisc set.

Look Disney made a mistake on Fantasia but look at the wartime cartoons Golden Collection and tell me you can see WHV doing anything that brave. The only shorts on the T&J set that were remastered were I think the Widescreen shorts. What was said about remastering might be true but we know...

I think we all know what these companies mean when they say remastered. I can't see them putting "we copied these from VHS masters we had laying around" and selling very many of them. The Looney Tunes were remastered if I am correct from the negatives so I think when they market films like...

Oh and saying these shorts were remastered is a blatant lie!!!! The original negative were lost in a fire years ago!!! Step up and be honest and take care of your customers. WE WANT TOM AND JERRY UNCUT!!!!!

In the chat that announced this set it was stated that the set would be: A:Chronological B:Uncut and unedited. Either your spokesperson was uninformed or(more likely) you got cold feet or we were lied to. I am betting the it is a combination of the last two. Jerry Beck said it was not...

Earnest said what I was trying to say much better than I could have. Where most modern animation fails is not in the technical or artwork. Most of that at least in feature animation is incredible. Where it falls short is in the writing. Look at any of the TV animation now. They usually ruin...

I like this movie. Could it have been better? YES Without the "we are going to educate kids about racism, environmentalism, etc..." it would have been much more enjoyable. I like what used to be said in Hollywood. "If you want to send a message go down to Western Union"

Just One of The Guys(version out is Fool Screen) Can't Buy Me Love(same as above) Prime Risk(I grew up in Culpeper VA where some of it was filmed)

My take on this DVDs don't need to be backed up is: The companies and people who have this attitude don't have little children who love Beauty and the Beast and Alladin. They are pulled from release soon after. So you have the choices of let the DVDs get scratched up and then either buy them...

Maybe in most cases but they sure screwed the pooch with the so called unedited Tom and Jerry DVD set. First it was supposed to be chronological. NOT! Then it was supposed to be unedited. NOT! Then there was supposed to be a disc replacement program for the edited disc. Which we will...

Oh I would have but no takers. Oh well....

I don't want a fight. I was simply stating the fundamental reasons why I don't see Disney releasing this. Political Correctness is the major sticking point. Now if anybody can give me a reason (besides someones feelings being hurt if this film is released) where I was wrong in my points I...

Thats a shame I thought I was going to have some fun with this. On another note. For the same reasons I listed above we(classic animation lovers)need to stay on Warner Home Video about the censored Tom and Jerry DVD collection. It was announced that it would be unedited and you see what we...

We can debate it through email if you like but considering the factors holding the films release on DVD the chances of Me not winning said debate are extremely remote. I was not discussing politics. I was stating that politics is one of the major factors as to why you can't buy this film.

Let's see Micheal Eisner on the corporate level. Roger Ebert on what I would call the public perception level. The NAACP has not taken a position one way or another. I am they would find it incredible to be called conservative.

The argument that was made was the bringing up that Speilbergs directing The Color Purple was controversial because he was not black. Song of the South has not been put out for a couple of reasons. A) Fear of poor public relations(Unwarrented I think) B) A liberal agenda that says we'll...

So by using this logic a black director would have no business directing Shakespeare or any of the classical English writers. Example: A black director wants to do an update of Romeo and Juliet. Are you saying it would be wrong for him or her to do that? After all Shakespeare was white and...

I just want to make it clear that I don't blame Jerry Beck at all. I know his heart is in the right place and for all he knew the disc would be replaced. Warner Home Video's word I think will be shown to be worthless. I hope I'm wrong. I used to buy DVDs from them without seeing a review. It...

I really think we have been had. I know Jerry Beck for contractual reasons can't say anything. But I will really be surprised if we hear anything. I mean how long did it take Universal to admit they screwed up on the Back to The Future Set? I don't think it was this long. I hope I'm wrong!!!

We all need to hound Warner home Video on the poor response they have put forth in correcting the edited DVD included in the Tom and Jerry DVD set. The set was supposed to be unedited. It was also supposed to be chronological but that is another lie to deal with. Even if you didn't buy this...

I like to watch it just because it is a funny movie with a good message. That fact has been lost in all the PC crap that is going on about this movie. I just don't buy that its a racist movie. Uncle Remus is not a slave and is a pretty smart person. The boys Grandmother considers Unle Remus a...
