 The title is correct.

 It's also being advertised in AMC's "Previews" mag, as of this month. I could
be wrong, but I think I remember seeing mention of this a year or two ago.. but
all I can recall was that some (then) Yugoslavian studio was involved in it.
I'm looking forward to it; hopefully (ever the optimist :) they'll not aim it
strictly for children, as has been the general fate for animation for too many
years now. I /did/ enjoy Cool World atmosphere and chaotic nature, but it'd
still be very pleasing to watch some cinematic animation that wasn't either
laden with saccharine or vying for the avant garde. Call me a dreamer..

While watching the animated sequence in "Stay Tuned" today, I thought to 
myself, "Wow, this is a pretty good recreation of the classic cartoon feel!"  
And when I sat through the credits, I found out why:  Chuck Jones did the 
character design and directing for the sequence!  I would say that the cartoon 
sequence alone is nearly worth the price of admission.  Of course, I'd also say
that it was a pretty good movie overall, definitely worth matinee price, and 
probably worth regular price.  Oh, and while watching it, you may get the 
sinking feeling of dread that the little whiz kid son will save the day, but 
don't worry, it gets unsaved so that the main characters can resolve it as main
characters should. (No, that wasn't really a spoiler)

I bought my Tape at an International Animation Festival.  I have also see the
Whole Toon Access magazine, which is packed with tons of animation videos,

Pixar was selling a videotape of all their releases (up to that time) at
San Francisco MacWorld.  It is a good tap, if short.  It also has "Pixar"
in a corner of each short, which really annoyed me.

	The Transformers began as a Marvel Comics endeavor to ride the wave
of transforming mecha which was currently the rage in Japan. It was a
four-issue limited series, but it did so astoundingly well that they made it
into a full serial. The toys were a success also, and because its sister comic
G.I. Joe was doing similarly well, and had made a profit off of a limited
series T.V. release, they tried the same with Transformers, first as a limited
release, then as a full-run series. The reason that the animation dropped so in
quality towards the end was that the primary market for the show (8-14) was no
longer interested in it, and so the budget was decreased. The series was
animated by Toei, but the scripting was done in the U.S. It became somewhat
popular in Japan, and enjoyed a brief release there. The toys were out there
for a while, as well.

Do you meanepisodes besides the 3 "Rebirth of Cybertron" episodes? In
Chicago, they only Headmasters that they showed were the ones with
the Headmaster's creation. In the 3rd (and I assumed final) episode,
Cybertron is re-energized and the Decepticons, all in Trypticon, are
knocked across the Universe by an energy wave. Not that impressive.

  They showed them in Houston as well. Then the series moved to Sunday
morning, with each episode introduced by a claymation Optimus Prime
(Powermaster version) The last set of new episodes was the 5 parter introducing
the headmasters. From then on it was just repeats.

	Don't have my reference books handy, so no titles, but ...

	In a '50s episode, a white mouse escapes from a lab after having
consumed some kind of high explosive.  The entire city is on alert to
leave the mouse alone.  Jerry douses himself with white paint and torments
Tom, who takes great abuse but refrains from violence.  The paint washes
off, however, and Tom kicks Jerry out the door.  Enter real mouse with
real explosive.  Tom of course thinks its just Jerry again, and Tom gives
a giant kick .... KABOOM!  Nuclear holocaust.  A broken down radio
cheerily intones, "Flash!  Scientists say the white mouse is now perfectly
harmless!  The white mouse will *NOT* explode!"  Tom pokes his head out
of the rubble and says in a sepulchral voice:  "DON'T YOU BEE-LIEEVE IT".

	In an early '40s episode, perhaps "Zoot Cat", Tom thumps a string
bass and sings "Is You Is, Or Is You Ain't My Baby?"

	In a middle '40s episode with a western setting, Tom strums a
guitar and sings, "If You're Ever Down In Texas, Look Me Up".

	There may be other examples.  But in general, Tom and Jerry are
pantomine actors, with the dialogue going to Mammy Two-Shoes or other
incidental characters.
