Great and unexpected news. Tom & Jerry must sell quite well at Walmart, as they have carried a couple of the recent direct-to-video BDs of the duo.

Nice, though I've barely touched the three Warner Bros sets that I do have. I don't have the Chuck Jones set, I could see myself jumping to Blu for that (or even the Gene Deitch collection )

The extra resolution will really help on the 'scope toons.

Holy crap I am IN. And hopefully we'll get a few where Tom wins.

More info on this release can be found at tvshowsondvd.com. Especially this little nugget:

I've just been in contact with animation expert Jerry Beck, who is of course consulting with Warner Home Video on this release. He informs me that the early information from the studio about the count of shorts on these DVD and Blu-ray sets is incorrect. The Golden Collection Volume 1 will have 37 shorts, just as the package art says. The final four shorts mentioned on the list above aren't ready for DVD yet, and are being saved aside for Volume 2, including the long-awaited "Mouse Cleaning". Jerry tells me that it will be worth the wait, as "Mouse Cleaning" is being restored from the original nitrate elements...which had been found along with some others from Tom and Jerry. Wow! Of course, Jerry's confident at the moment that this second volume will happen, but it's still early and anything can change (so please don't take everything to heart just yet!).

The Warner Archive pages have announced that all the T&J CinemaScope shorts (plus a couple others) will be released on Blu-ray in Feb 2025.

I've got the DVD sets, but I'll try to grab this one to have HD versions of the scope shorts.
