Thad, are you seen where the new video games XBox and Playstation 2 where also able for the movie disc? :D

I think not a big surprise for the 2 bonus cartoons on this disc.

Well, it's nice that The Invisible Mouse finally found a good DVD or VHS release. As for just Ducky...how come so many below-par Tom and Jerry cartoons are popping up on DVD? At least it wasnt Happy Go Ducky.

Now.... for the $64 question. Is it worth buying the horror that is TOM & JERRY: THE MOVIE just to get those two classic shorts on DVD? :o

[Thad Komorowski]

I don't know, but at Best Buy it's $15... :o

But in better news, I spent $12 on one of the Roger Ramjet DVDs later today. It was twelve singles worth spent... :D :)

I don't hate the duck (though, I will admit CN plays those T&J cartoons a bit too often). I'd rather watch a ducky T&J than a Nibbles-as-a-musketeer T&J.

Also, is "Just Ducky" the ducky cartoon where Papa Duck takes a lawn mower and runs it up and down Tom's back? That's a priceless T&J moment! :eek: :D

That is a great moment and it's in 1950's Little Quacker. There's a nice frame blow-up of this scene in Patrick Brion's Tom & Jerry book.

FWIW, Tom & Jerry: The Movie has been formatted to fit your screen on DVD.

Was Tom and Jerry: The Movie ever in theaters? I only remember seeing this on VHS tapes. Also, has anyone else noticed that finding Tom and Jerry: The Magic Ring is very difficult? (On an unrelated note, I keep getting the title mixed up with "The Mummy's Ring", a 1943 Donald Duck comic book title!)

Like you, I can not recall Tom & Jerry: The Movie ever playing in theaters, at least in this area (northeast Oklahoma). But you could buy the poster for it at our Wal-Mart. It was the same art that was used for the video tape.

Yes! I could only find the VHS tape ofTom & Jerry - The Magic Ring at a grocery store and at Blockbuster. I had to drive 50 miles to a Best Buy to get the DVD of it. Also had to do the same for Samurai Jack DVD.

That's a Disney DTV title I'd like to see. Were you a DuckTales fan, too? Didn't you think they were going to do an adaptation of "The Mummy's Ring" since there was that clip of a mummy chasing Huey, Dewey & Louie in the opening credits? I did!

Yep. Tom and Jerry: The Movie was released on July 30th, 1993 in theaters. Also, if you were interested it made $3.56 million dollars here in the US.

Thank you, "Internet Movie Database."

That duck's voice, by the way, is NOT by EITHER of two usual suspects (Disney's Clarence Nash NOR Jimmy Weldon, who became the voice of the duckling's succesor Yakky Doodle at TV HB), but by Red Coffee, a guy credited on a Loopy DeLoop cartoon and by Mike Barrier in a 1978 issue of the late lamented FUYNNYWORLD (a pi0oneer animation fanzine) in a voice issue as being said voice. In fact Red Coffee and this duckling CONTINUED into HB made for TV product whereupon., in 10961, he did anotyher of his cute little duckling tricks (besides singing and invisbily) ..turned into YAKKY, and gained Jimmy Webster Webfoot Weldon's voice, and a different persona.(And a series and support cast of his own.Daws Butler did a "Shelley Berman" or "Joe Bessers" like voice for Fibber Fox, who also sounded like Liberace a little to me, and the voic of Chopper was that of Vance Colbig,Jr.,son of GOOFY and Looney Tunes occasional voice and BOZO star, PINTO colvig!! :p )
