The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Tom and Jerry: The Golden Era Anthology is a five-disc DVD and six-disc Blu-ray set produced by the Warner Archive Collection and Warner Bros. Discovery Home Entertainment that collects the entirety of the original 114 theatrical Tom and Jerry cartoon shorts directed by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera and released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer from 1940 to 1958. In contrast to the previous Spotlight Collections and Golden Collections, this set is the first Tom and Jerry collection to present all 114 original shorts in chronological order, uncut, and restored from the best available elements. The set includes Mouse Cleaning and Casanova Cat – the first time they've ever been released on DVD or Blu-ray in the United States – as well as His Mouse Friday, which (for the very first time on any home media format), is presented completely uncut. The set contains all 114 Tom and Jerry cartoons on the first five discs (with 20 audio commentaries), while the Blu-ray version contains an exclusive sixth bonus disc with 3 hours of special features (including two newly released featurettes: Lady of the House: The Story of Mammy Two-Shoes and Animal Hijinks: The Friends and Foes of Tom and Jerry) and a packaged collectible 32-page booklet with artwork and essays. Tom and Jerry: The Golden Era Anthology was released on December 2, 2025 to commemorate the 85th anniversary of the franchise. It is similar to the Tom and Jerry Spotlight and Golden Collections, two previous DVD series that focused on the Hanna-Barbera era shorts, and supersedes the scrapped Golden Collection series.
