DVD Reviews of Bizarre Cartoons Of The Past
DVD Review: Animation from Fleischer, Vitaphone, Powers and (mostly) Van Beuren
Summary: 4 Stars
ALPHA's BIZARRE CARTOONS OF THE PAST showcases cartoon "stars" long-forgotten by all but vintage animation fans. Featured here are VITAPHONE's "Beans" character, the original "Tom and Jerry" (a pair of height mismatched humans) from VAN BEUREN STUDIOS, also VB's "Cubby Bear" (a Mickey Mouse clone) and "Molly Moo-Cow."
MACKINAC's CULTOONS! ADS AND ODDITIES is a nicely-mixed bag of quite rare shorts, animated theater ads, promos aimed at retailers, propaganda, and footage once used as backdrop for a World's Fair exhibit.
