Hello Chaps
As I am nearing the end of my mission to collect all the MGM digests [about three to go], I have embarked on a new challenge that was inspired by a rummage in Uncle Ians shed.
I have now started collecting the Tom and Jerry releases by Walton Films and am hoping that you chaps will be able to advise me what the complete list of titles is.
This is the list I have so far;
TJ1 Posse Cat TJ2 His Mouse Friday TJ3 Tennis Chumps TJ4 Cruise Cat TJ5 The Truce Hurts TJ6 Cat Fishin' TJ7 The Mouse Comes to Dinner TJ8 The Milky Waif TJ9 Jerry and the Goldfish TJ10 Dr Jekyl and Mr Mouse TJ11 Two Mousketeers TJ12 Triplet Trouble TJ13 Saturday Evening Puss TJ14 Proffessor Tom TJ15 Cue Ball Cat TJ16 Jerry and Jumbo TJ17 Tee for Two TJ18 Casanova Cat TJ19 Cat Napping TJ20 Solid Serenade TJ21 The Cat Concerto TJ22 TJ23 TJ24 Baby Butch TJ25 The Yankee Doodle Mouse TJ26 The Night Before Christmas TJ27 Puttin' on the Dog TJ28 Love That Pup TJ29 Flying Cat TJ30 Hollywood Bowl
Designs on Jerry Framed Cat, The Johann Mouse Mice Follies Million Dollar Cat
If you can help me fill the gaps so that I know what I should be looking for that would be very much appreciated.
Mike

Thanks Chaps, that's great! I've added all the ones you've told me about, I guess that could be the complete list? I'll keep updating it as I get the numbers and titles matched up and if there are any others that I've not yet listed I'd be pleased to hear from you!

Matt Thanks for the link, that's great. It's amazing what's out there on the net, it's just a case of knowing where to look or where to ask . I'm still hoping to fit the last few titles up against the Walton TJ code numbers but that will come as I start to increase my collection .
Tony I hold you wholy responsible, if I hadn't been let loose in Uncle Ians shed with you and Doug I might still be a sane man, as it is I'm Frantic for new T&J titles and I have the projector set up in the spare room so that I can secretly sneek off and watch them .
Speaking of which.......

Mike,
If only I hadn't shown such self control in Ian's shed and taken a box full of the precious celluloid.
If you want to combine your two collections (MGM/T&J), here is a list of the MGM Tom & Jerry releases:
M-101 Cruise Cat M-102 Two Mousketeers M-103 Casanova Cat M-104 Cat Napping M-105 Saturday Evening Puss M-106 Tee for Two M-107 Million Dollar Cat M-108 Jerry & Jumbo M-109 Little Orphan* M-110 Quiet Please* M-111 Cat Concerto* M-112 Johann Mouse* M-113 Mouse Trouble* M-114 Night Before Christmas M-115 Designs on Jerry
*Academy Award winner
Remember, I've got all those T&J boxes!
Doug
-------------------- I think there's room for just one more film.....

Oh Doug, what have you done? Now you've given me a whole other series to start collecting ! And they've got noce boxes too!! Can't wait for the next BFCC .
By the way, when I said 'shed' I was of course referring to Uncle Ians large, Climate Controlled and meticulously catalogued storage facility in West London.

Hello
I've just brought this back up to the front again as I've been able to update the list quite a bit [see edited post above ].
There are now only three numbers with unidentified T & J titles to fill [ although strangely I have five titles to fit in ], so if anyone knows what they are I'd be pleased to hear .
Note for Tim: Tim, I found your T & J list on your Walton website really useful in getting my list together, I think I now have one or two extras that you might want to add to yours .

Hi Mike,
I've you need it - I've got a nice Eastman (kodak) LPP lowfade print of "Mouse Cleaning" in the original Derann Box. $US30 (about £16 ) + shipping if you can use it...

Hello Steven
Thanks for the offer, at the moment I'm only really looking for the Walton and MGM releases. Have only got a few more to go and I shall have the complete set of Waltons, have now started on the MGM releases [thanks to Doug ] but luckily there aren't so many of them...

Mike, I have a copy of "Puttin' on the Dog" which I don't see on your list and which I bought new from Derann in the late '80's but I'm sure it came in a box with a copied label bearing the Walton logo; as though it was a Walton re-print.
Of course it was full-length unlike the Walton versions which were usually trimmed but I think it had a Walton code on it.
I'll check it but its in my other cinema 140 miles away!!! Just showing off!!! Bear with me...
EDIT: Yep, had the box checked and the code is TJ27, one of the titles missing off your list.
Unfortunately, can't be 100% sure this was Walton's original title for TJ27 but looks likely!
Mike, I would be interested to know if you are lucky enough to find an original Walton print whether Walton trimmed it by a couple of minutes as usual or if it is complete and what the print is like as this is one of my favourites and the re-print is a bit soft

Many thanks for the extra title, nearly there now! Haven't seen this print for sale on any of the lists so far but if I do manage to snap one up I shall report back!

Only TJ1 to TJ20 were listed in Walton Catalogue No. 29 (1979), so the rest (TJ21 to TJ30?)were added in the last couple of years of Walton's life - a period for which my information is not complete.

Have at last managed to find a copy of 'Puttin on the Dog' in its original Walton box, pictured below;
It's actually a very good print, although curiously on the dealers list it was described as faded and was priced accordingly. There is perhaps not as much contrast as some of the better Walton T&Js but it is quite acceptable and very pleasing to watch.
Not sure if it has been shortened, the original MGM release [from 28/10/44] lasted for 7.02 minutes, it doesn't look as though anything is missing but next time I play it I shall get my stop watch out .
Mike
ps. I love the part where Butch screams when he sees what he thinks is a headless dog walking off after his 'head on legs'.

Jim,
I've got a copy of "Southbound Duckling" in Scope and OB on my lists, it's in nice condition, only £15 plus post to the States. If you want to have a look for yourself then go to BFCC Site (this is the BFCC site) and follow the link to the INDEPENDENT 8 pages.
