MORE CHEAP CARTOON DVDS
This must be the
golden age of cheap public domain cartoon dvds. ILM animation director Tom Bertino sent in this toon tip:
Your posting of the 99-cent TOM & JERRY DVD made me think I should tip you off to something, if you don't know about it already. There is a 12-disc box on the market with the woefully generic title "100 CARTOON CLASSICS". All PD stuff, and while the usual suspects are there (yet another repackaging of POPEYE FOR PRESIDENT) and there's a lot of odd as well (some of the most off-brand TV stuff imaginable), there are some really wonderful oddities lurking within. One whole disc (coincidence?) is devoted to Van Beuren T&Js, and scattered around are a number of VB Aesop's Fables... DIXIE DAYS, RED RIDING HOOD, things like that. There are also a few Ted Eshbaugh indies, including GOOFY GOAT ANTICS. There's even a Toby The Pup in there, for God's sake! I paid something like $26.00 for it at my local Borders, and felt like I sure got my money's worth.
