Hey, who can tell me if all the uncensored Tom and Jerry's are out on Super 8?
What do I mean by "uncensored"?
Back in either the mid to late 60's or early seventies (remember, time is a screwy thing with me) ... MGM re-animated thier Tom and Jerry series at a costly price (as it was full animation). What they id was take out the "Mammy" housemaid character from mostly the 40's Tom and Jerry's and instead, placed in there a Irish white housemaid. They did this because of the changing times and being that they didn't want any thought of any racism in thier cartoons (thereby bringing down thier drawing power to modern audiences), They took out most offending elements.
Now, I know that at least some of the original version Tom and Jerry's made it onto Super 8, as I have some of them, but I also have some of the Irish housemaid versions.
Are all the original uncensored versions available on super 8?
