Looking for Chuck Jones' MGM cartoon release dates

[Larry T]

Hi fellow TTTPer's,

Would anyone happen to have a detailed list outlining the official release dates of Chuck Jones' MGM cartoon films? Unfortunately, most sources I have at my disposal only list the month and year of these releases, not the actual official release dates. The "Of Mice And Magic" book lists them the same way- I'm beginning to think there's some reason why the dates were truncated... :confused:

Thanks in advance!!

Larry,

The Chuck Jones Tom & Jerry cartoons never had release dates. MGM released them as 'seasonal packages', meaning the theatres could play them whenever they'd like. I believe Maltin (and most other sources who copied him) listed them in production number order. (TOM THUMP is also listed, but that was never a cartoon, just a working title for THE YEAR OF THE MOUSE).

What's more, the 1966-1972 Walter Lantz cartunes were released the same way.
