Reception

[edit]

"The Chuck Jones Collection isn't exactly the highest point in Tom and Jerry history, but a handful of hidden gems elevate this two-disc set to moderate heights. Those unfamiliar with the Jones-era shorts may have trouble adjusting, mostly due to déjà vu from Jones' own work on Looney Tunes.", commented DVD Talk.[1] Collider praised the collection.[2]
