Notes Gene Deitch's Dicky Moe (1962) is prominently featured on a Disc 1 menu screen, but is not available on the set. Just as they were on the original release of the Spotlight Collection, Vol. 1, the shorts The Milky Waif and The Little Orphan have been edited to remove scenes where characters are seen in blackface. Likewise, as it had at one time been on Vol. 2, the short The Lonesome Mouse has redubbed dialogue to remove the stereotypical dialect of the African-American maid (Mammy Two Shoes).

Disc Two 1 denotes cartoons with their opening titles cut. 2 denotes cartoons that are new to DVD.

Notes The Mansion Cat (2001) is prominently featured on a Disc 2 menu screen but is not available on the set. As well as Cosmic Cat and Meteor Mouse, the premiere episode of The Tom & Jerry Show has been released as part of Warner Home Video's Saturday Morning Cartoons – 1970s Volume 2 on October 27, 2009; it marked the first home video release of the 1975 made-for-TV version of Tom and Jerry. The Chuck Jones cartoons are the widescreen restored versions from the Chuck Jones Collection.

Reception DVD Talk was critical of the compilation and stated, "The quality of these shorts rapidly diminish once we move out of the Chuck Jones era and into the TV era. The most recent selection, "A Game of Mouse and Cat," is a little better than the '70s and '80s junk, but not by much. (And the less said about "Flippin' Fido," in which the characters are turned into kindergarteners, the better.) Anyone buying the Deluxe Anniversary Collection just for these "new" releases will be sorely disappointed in their purchase." Another extensive and negative review, in Animated Views, concluded, "Poor old Tom & Jerry get it again: there's just not much to recommend this collection for. A mishmash selection of cartoons that, while bringing together the pair's seven Oscar wins, misses out many more true classics and notable titles, re-uses the same old prints (some still interlaced), and messes up the screen ratios on the widescreen theatrical offerings." A review for Comics Worth Reading was also negative. However, The Other View called the DVD set a must-have.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Tom and Jerry: The Deluxe Anniversary Collection

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Tom and Jerry: The Deluxe Anniversary Collection claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero.
