(the post has been edited with the recent acquisition)
I always try to complete my Tom & Jerry and I have now reached 111 episodes from 120 titles that I knew available on 8mm.
Some titles are released by Derann that they are housed in white boxes or an white boxes with generic pictures glued on that. Other are from Film Office that are always with red generic boxes. The most interesting artworks are from Walton which always come with full color pictures taken from the episode. Some of my TJs are from MGM which have similar art works attraction.
There are some title released by obscure companies and some just simply blank without any information to who have released them.
So since my TJ has reached 111 titles, and they came with different type of boxes and artworks, I have then decided to make my own box, directly printed on the box it self...so no sticking glue is used.
The artworks is following the design created for Walton. I make my own catalog number after the original Walton's cat# from TJ1 - TJ30.
So here is now my TJ's library with uniform box design and cat#
They are as follows:
TJ01 Posse Cat
TJ02 His Mouse Friday
TJ03 Tennis Chumps
TJ04 Cruise Cat
TJ05 The Truce Hurts
TJ06 Cat Fishin'
TJ07 The Mouse Comes to Dinner
TJ08 The Milky Waif
TJ09 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 Johann Mouse
TJ23 Million Dollar Cat
TJ24 Baby Butch
TJ25 The Yankee Doodle Mouse
TJ26 The Night Before Christmas
TJ27 Puttin' on the Dog
TJ28 Love That Pup

TJ104 Just Ducky

TJ106 Nit Witty Kitty
TJ107 Slicked Up Pup
TJ108 Puppy Tale
TJ109 Springtime for Thomas
TJ110 Touché, Pussy Cat!
TJ111 Two Little Indians
(ps: TJ 22 & TJ23 are not available from Walton so these 2 cat# are still mystery since TJ 24 -TJ30 are available from Walton. So TJ 22 & 23 on the above list are my own made up numbers)
Here some pictures of my own design:
The 11 titles are not yet on the above list as follows:
1. Duel Personality 1966
2. Jerry's Diary 1949
3. Little School Mouse 1954
4. Muscle Beach Tom 1956
5. Neapolitan Mouse 1954
6. Puss 'N' Toots 1942
7. Vanishing Duck 1958
8. Haunted Mouse
9. Hic-cup Pup
10. Cat Above The Mouse Below, The
11. Bodyguard, The
So with the above score, unless someone can show me the otherwise, I can now declare my self as a man with the most complete Tom & Jerry episodes on super 8mm in the world ! ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif) ![[Razz]](tongue.gif)

Magnificent Winbert, you're attention to details is to be applauded. Compared to you, I'd have to have the top title, "Top Super 8mm slob!", as I don't have to much to do with original boxes or re-creating them, but this has been a great labor of love for you!
Congratulations, and best wishes on finding those rare titles! ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

Jim, now I have to revise my status to become "the man with the most complete Tom & Jerry episode on super 8mm in Indonesia"...
BTW, you listed Cabin Cruise, I have checked on the net, I did not find TJ episode with this title. This must be just re-titled of TJ "Cruise Cat".
I have found that those TJs from the Netherlands were titled in different way although it is in English.
There are 12 titles that you have but I did not have, as follows:
Jerry's Diary
The Framed Cat
Slicked up Pup
Nit-Witty Kitty
Just Ducky
Two Little Indians
Puppy Tale
Little Red School Mouse
Neapolitan Mouse
Touché, Pussy Cat!
Muscle Beach Tom
Vanishing Duck
So since I have 102 episodes and you have 104 (minus "Cabin Cruise") there must be around 9 titles that I have but you don't. Can you list it here, perhaps I have duplicate for those titles.
I see you don't have "Filet Meow", "Much Ado about Mousing" (I have multiple copies), "It's Greek to Meow" (I have multiple copies), ...what else?. Perhaps we can work out together to complete each collection. ![[Wink]](wink.gif)
Anyway to answer the questions, both through PM and here, in one reply here my explanation how to make them.
I am not exaggerating here, but it is quite complicate and took so many hours to achieve that.
1. I measure the Walton box and scanned the best box I have as a basic design.
2. I created a pattern of the box where I can cut, fold and glue the pattern to make a solid box.
Here is the pattern:
ps: there were a lot of hit and misses here, since picture sometime not in the exact position. So I had to do trial and error hundreds time until I got that perfect pattern.
3. I had to find the best white cardboard that I can fold (without breaking it) and had the length more than 11 inch since the pattern was longer than that but not to thick so printer still could take it.
(@Pauld Adsett, this is the way I printed it directly to the paper/cardboard)
4. Now for designing individual cover. This is not an easy job too. I browsed to the net for the most notable scene of each episode. It has to be in high resolution if you want to print better pictures. Sometimes I got them easy if they were popular titles. But for less popular titles it was so hard.
5. Move the scene to the template above.
6. Add (paste) with Tom & Jerry's logo that I already store in my drive.
7 Add the year of production info as always seen in the original Walton's
8. Now, the other hard job is to make the titles of each episode. For the easiest ones, we can just use fonts that available in the computer. But I am a perfectionist. If I did that, every cover will just look the same ..so it will be boring. Therefor what I did was to take every individual fonts from each episode that appear in the first credit title. Here is the example:
As you can see where the fonts on my cover Peco's Pest and Part Time Pal are taken from.
9. Then I pasted and after giving my cat# no, I printed it
10. Let the prints dry out for about an hour, then I spray with transparent paint to laminate the print in order to avoid it get faded or blurry after years. It also give shiner and brighter picture.
11. Cut the paper according to the pattern, fold, and glue them.
END
In total for every individual cover will take about 3-4 hours to finish....and I have 102 titles..... ![[Eek!]](eek.gif)
But I am happy since I am a perfectionist one.
Good luck whoever is going to give a try
cheers,

So,with 72 titles plus the ANCHORS AWEIGH extract,all in standard or super 8 color/sound,does it make me the third biggest T&J collector in the world, or Europe,or Greece,or Athens ? Decidedly,I don't like Chuck Jones (I have only one) and Gene Deitch (I have none although I would like to have one or two).
Winbert,your numbering is arbitrary and you don't distinguish among companies. MILLION DOLLAR CAT and JOHANN MOUSE were MGM releases with respective numbers M-107 and M-112. Also,you and the others do not point out the Cinemascope editions. MGM also released flat versions of their Ciemascope films in all gauges (35, 16,and 8mm).I have both versions of SOUTHBOUND DUCKLING,from Cineavision and Derann and there are others too.
I also have the "Cabin Cruise" extract. It was given as a gift by some company as far as I can remember.

Winbert ...
Should I assume that, not only do you have every Tom and Jerry on super 8, but every issue of each title, that is, if Derann put out "Cat Concerto", you would also have the official MGM, as well as Walton ect ect?

@Panayotis, yes I knew it. But since I was making all as Walton's design, so I just numbered those to TJ on my Walton cat# as it is coincidence this two spaces (TJ 22 & 23) were emptied for an unknown reason, while Walton had TJ until TJ30.
I only collect one version, as I am concerned mainly to the story, not to the version. I was aware that "The Egg and Jerry" was a remake from "Hatch Up Your Troubles" so I just only bought either one.

No Osi, I am not kind of OCD like that ... I am just focusing on the story not the version.
