Weird Cartoons





weird

Just to prove that if you send us a DVD, we will plug it - here is The Complete Weird Cartoons, a collection of 19 animated cartoons from the earliest silent days throught the 1950s.
It's a fun collection of public domain material. The prints are funky, but I like the mix - from Charles Bowers surreal "It's A Bird" to Lantz uber-racist "Scrub Me Mama With A Boogie Beat"; silent Alice Comedies, musical Betty Boop, Chuck Jones' Inki, Ub Iwerks, Fleischer, Harman & Ising, Iwerks and Messmer - and more.
It's distributed by Shout Factory.
