Tom & Jerry "Uncut" Boxed Set:
This information was given to me by George T Palmer and I thank him very much for providing it. I have never seen this version but it is listed on several video websites.

For the first Box Set (Vol.1-5) (TOM-1) bar code : 4988135528827
For the second Box Set (Vol.6-10) (TOM-2) bar code : 4988135528834

The individual "HB" numbers for each of the disks in the sets are as follows..
vol1. HB-59919 - vol2. HB-50146 - vol3. HB-50298 - vol4. HB-55696 - vol5. HB-53922 - vol6. HB-53923 - vol7. HB-54584 - vol8. HB-54585 - vol9. HB-54586 - vol10. HB-54587

The rest of all the information that are printed on the box's or the dvd's themselves are in
Japanese characters and, unfortunately, I cant read them.

Each dvd has its own case that goes inside the 2 box's, and when all put together form a TOM&JERRY picture. It is in Dolby Digital format, full color. Each disk has both a Japanese and English soundtrack as well as subtitles. The menu's on all the disks are in Japanese so it will take a little bit of experimentation to get the disk to play :)

Each disk also contains one Droopy cartoon as well. Though it should be noted that these are dubbed in Japanese only.

A couple other things of major importance:

1. You will need a DVD player that can read/play REGION 2 DVDs.

2. This particular box set had a sticker on the wrapper that said (in Japanese) "UN CUT VERSION". Finding this version is the tricky part. Ilooked in about 30 (literally) stores before I found this version. I found this box set in only one store in a section of Tokyo called "AKHIABARA." Also this box set and the cut versions look identical in packaging EXCEPT for the sticker. Be careful of this when shopping for it.

3. The content of the DVD's are completely uncut. This includes all Mammy, Black face, Indian, Mammy voice, Asian, and some of the more "violent" cuts that have been removed on all the other versions.

4. The total cost on the box set was 30,000 yen or roughly $280 USD. Interestingly enough the CUT version of the box set was 24,000 yen!

5. The one bad thing about these DVD's is that the cartoons are still not in letterbox/true format. Animation purists may get aggrivated when things get cut off or are formated improperly.

6. Eash DVD disk in the set contains 13 - 16 full cartoons.

*note: I believe these disks contain all episodes except the Gene Deitch years and the following:
the Hanna Barbera years--
Busy Buddies, Egg and Jerry, Feedin the Kiddie, Slicked Up Pup, Tom's Photo Finish, Tops With Pops
the later Chuck Jones years--
Shutterbugged Cat
