Okay, so I just got my hands on this Academy Awards Animation Collection, and wow—what a blast from the past! The set includes 15 Oscar-winning shorts plus a bunch of nominees, and it’s like stepping into a time machine of classic animation.

First off, Disc 1 is pure gold with all the winners. 'The Cat Concerto' (Tom & Jerry) and 'Tweety Pie' are absolute classics. The restoration is crisp, and seeing these in high quality feels like rediscovering childhood favorites.

Disc 2 and 3 are where things get really interesting. You’ve got nominees like 'A Wild Hare' (Bugs Bunny’s debut!) and 'Puss Gets the Boot' (the OG Tom & Jerry). Some of these haven’t been on DVD before, so it’s a treat for hardcore fans.

But here’s the tea: some omissions are puzzling. Where are the pre-1940 cartoons? And why do some feel censored? Still, for rare gems like 'Peace on Earth' and 'The Dot and the Line,' it’s worth overlooking the flaws.

The packaging is sleek—way nicer than I expected—and the documentary (though English-only) is a deep dive into animation history. If you love vintage cartoons, this set is a must-have, warts and all.
