JUST DISCOVERED!!! A NEW TOM & JERRY
MERCHANDISING ITEM...FROM GERMANY!
It's the darndest thing, too! I was
busy rifling through Tom & Jerry images with the
AltaVista Image Search engine
and discovered 2 of what appeared to be VHS of the 1975
version of T&J from a German webpage known as
kinderkrempel.de!!
With the trusty aid of
Alta Vista's Babel Fish Translation,
I read on and learned that they are known as "radio
plays," which are, in actuality, audiocassette tapes,
manufactured by a corporation called "Poly". In either
case, it's good to know that the series, which failed to
fly here in The States, was popular enough to be
merchandised in as unlikely a country as Germany!
This discovery was so
exhilirating, I just had to adapt it to this
site. All of below is taken directly from the
kinderkrempel.de
webpage.

Page 1 of the first
volume features "On The Dog Star" (which could be in
reference to "Planet Of The Dogs" [Episode #80-43]), "Aschenbroedel"
(I'm not so sure about this), and "The Giant" (which is
undoubtedly "Beanstalk Buddies" [#80-22]). Page 2 of the
first volume features "The Tree Mansion" (which could be
either "Triple Trouble" [#80-36] or "Son Of Gopher Broke"
[#80-39]), and "The Witch Hexenschau" (unmistakeably "The
Flying Sorceress" [#80-19]). Page 1 of the second volume
features "Squad Cars 6 7/8" ("The Police Kitten"
[#80-28]), "Kosmikat And Meteor Mouse" (you guessed it,
"Cosmic Cat And Meteor Mouse" [80-15]), and Page 2 on the
tape features: "The Gold Mine" (referring to The Lucky
Dutchman Gold Mine from "An Ill Wind" [#80-05]) and "In
The Museum" ("No Bones About It" [80-04]).
Both boxes feature scenes from
the main title intro to the 1975 Tom & Jerry Show;
take note of the scene from "No Way, Stowaways" [80-03] at
the bottom of the Volume 2 box, where in Weirdbeard The
Pirate is seen clutching Tom & Jerry. I'm not sure about
the "Consequence" portion nor the "Page 1/Page 2"
epigrams, nor do I know whether or not they're still
available.
Anyone who wishes to elaborate
on this please e-mail me, or post a message in the Mesage
Board or the Yahoo! newsgroup. Remember...ya saw it here
first! (A stateside VHS [or DVD] release of the 1975
Tom & Jerry Show is loooooooooooooooooooooong
overdue...)
