Collectors can now experience the timeless comedy and artistry of one of animation’s most celebrated rivalries when the Warner Archive Collection releases Tom and Jerry: The Golden Era Anthology (1940–1958) on Blu-Ray™ and DVD December 2, 2025. For the first time ever, all 114 theatrical shorts originally created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera are brought together in one definitive collection, offering the ultimate way to revisit every chase, gag, and laugh that defined generations.
Since their debut in 1940, the legendary cat-and-mouse duo became global icons, setting the standard for animated shorts with their blend of slapstick humor and inventive storytelling. This new anthology not only preserves the legacy of their golden era, but also enhances it, featuring recently and newly remastered shorts to enrich the viewing experience of these animated treasures. These beloved Tom and Jerry shorts look and sound better than they ever have since their original film presentations. The complete collection of Hanna Barbera’s Tom and Jerry Oscar® winning masterpieces, available at last! Including three shorts, Casanova Cat, Mouse Cleaning and His Mouse Friday which are now completely remastered and uncut for the very first time. Spanning nearly two decades of Academy Award®-winning animation, this landmark anthology highlights the wit and groundbreaking craft that made Tom and Jerry cultural icons. For collectors, families, and fans of animation history, this is a must-own set.
This 6-Disc Blu-ray includes all 114 theatrical shorts in 1080p High Definition and 20 audio commentaries on 5 discs, with a sixth disc dedicated to more than 3 hours of bonus features, including two ALL NEW never-before-seen seen featurettes: Lady of the House: The Story of Mammy Two Shoes and Animal Hijinks: The Friends and Foes of Tom, and a collectible 28-page booklet with artwork and essays.
One of the special features highlights her in particular so I'm going to go with yes. I am under the impression that Whoopi Goldberg does/has done introductions explaining these things in a historical context on home releases before and I imagine that's what will be one these discs.domino harvey wrote: Wed Sep 10, 2025 12:51 am Wait, like actually uncut with Mammy Two Shoes in it?
You might want to wait until you have the set in hand & fully screened before saying this. (Not that I'm superstitious, just cautious)Monterey Jack wrote: Wed Sep 10, 2025 1:25 am Release of the damn year. NEVER thought we'd get them all in one set and uncensored.
They just dropped the character—voiced by a Black actress, Lillian Randolph—entirely for the later shorts. And then, when the cartoons were packaged for TV, she was recolored as white and redubbed—by a white woman—to be an Irish stereotype instead.Big Ben wrote: Wed Sep 10, 2025 1:34 am Did they tone down her depictions or something for later releases?
Oh, I know I shouldn't count my chicks before they're hatched, but fans have been roaring for this for over a decade, and this close to release (and with social media buzzing), it'd be a very bad look if WB decided to cancel it. I choose to remain cautiously optimistic.Lowry_Sam wrote: Wed Sep 10, 2025 1:37 amYou might want to wait until you have the set in hand & fully screened before saying this.

Nice, I was just thinking about A Summer Place and how odd it is that it wasn’t on Blu yet. The Racket is yet another noir box title upgrade, keep em coming!Ashirg wrote: Fri Sep 12, 2025 11:18 pm Amazon posted the rest of October 14 titles before the formal announcement -

I was shocked to learn that I hadn’t actually seen this, at least according to my Letterboxd. Pretty surprising, since I’m like one of eight people alive who enjoys Kathryn Grayson and her and Keel together mean I def would have picked this up in the early days of the Archive DVD-Rs before I quit supporting a temporary physical format. Guess it just fell through the cracks for meMatt wrote: Fri Sep 12, 2025 11:48 pm
Lovely to Look At is a surprise. It's a bit stupid, but it has a great fashion show sequence directed by Vincente Minnelli and a beautiful dance number (to "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes") with Marge and Gower Champion. It should look really nice in WAC's typically excellent 3-strip Technicolor restoration.
I don’t think I saw these mentioned before but there’s also a recent Gary Cooper four pack with Sgt York / Friendly Persuasion / Love in the Afternoon / the Hanging Tree and one for Clark Gable with Mutiny on the Bounty / Idiot’s Delight / San Francisco / Wife vs Secretary and one for Elizabeth Taylor with Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? / the Last Time I saw Paris / Reflections in a Golden Eye (allegedly with both discs) / Father of the BrideFrauBlucher wrote: Tue Aug 19, 2025 11:36 am More multi-disc collections coming in October… thanks to Mifunefan over at BR for posting

Expect a few more, as Feltenstein has mentioned releases for 10/28 as well. Probably a few horror titles among them.Ashirg wrote: Fri Sep 12, 2025 11:18 pm Amazon posted the rest of October 14 titles before the formal announcement -
I wish the Alan Arkin-starring Simon would get a Blu upgrade. The WAC DVD looks very rough, even for one of their earliest releasesAshirg wrote: Fri Sep 12, 2025 11:18 pm Amazon posted the rest of October 14 titles before the formal announcement -

This is unrolling now. First up is the Mad Miss Manton
EDIT: plusdomino harvey wrote: Thu Oct 22, 2015 4:10 pm the Mad Miss Manton (Leigh Jason 1938) Infuriatingly dumb murder mystery with Barbara Stanwyck's daffy society dame running afoul of a killer while newspaperman Henry Fonda alternately damns and courts her. To state the obvious, these two stars fare much better a few years later in the Lady Eve. Unfunny and routinely idiotic, with the only saving grace being a brief plot-point centered on the construction of the NYC subway lines.
