DVD Reviews of The Amazing 300 Classic Cartoon Collection
DVD Review: Largest animation collection ever!
Summary: 4 Stars
MCE's AMAZING 300 CLASSIC CARTOON COLLECTION combines their ULTIMATE 150 CARTOON FESTIVAL and 150 CARTOON CLASSICS box sets into one neat 34½ hour package. Included here are such old favorites as Popeye, Baby Huey, The New 3 Stooges, Casper the Friendly Ghost, Little Audrey, Woody Woodpecker, Felix the Cat, Betty Boop, Mighty Mouse, Little Lulu and many more.
In this new double pack, "150 Cartoon Classics" has undergone a redesign. Discs #1 and #2 are no longer stored atop each other, nor are #3 and #4. A center leaf is provided for disc #2 on one side and #3 on the other. The MILL CREEK logo still flashes on-screen midway through each short, however. "Ultimate 150 Cartoon Festival" doesn't have these distracting on-screen watermarks, and the main menu system is simplified and thus improved. Downside here: cartoons are grouped by studio and subdivided into main characters, so there's less of a variety feel. Also discs #1 and #2 are stagger-stacked when stored. (Note that Ub Iwerks' "Dick Whittington's Cat" has been misfiled on disc #3 as part of the Famous Studios collection.)
A highlight of the "Ultimate" half of this set is two silent Oswald Rabbit cartoons animated by Walt Disney. It's easy to see from these 1920s animations how Mortimer (later "Mickey") Mouse evolved. The rarest here may be "A Christmas Tree," which was produced in Soviet-era Russia. Of especial note on "Classics" are several British-made Hoffnung shorts. Their drolll humor and impossible situations are set to strains of familiar classical music.
Studios represented: AUDIO PRODUCTIONS, BREWSTER, CAMBRIA, CELEBRITY, CORNELL, FAMOUS, FLEISCHER, HALAS & BATCHELOR, HANDY, JEFFERSON, LANTZ, NEW WORLD, PIED PIPER, POWERS, SOFAC, SULLIVAN, TERRYTOON, VAN BEUREN and WINKLER
Stock material varies from very good quality to barely fair. There's no evidence here of digital enhancement. Some shorts were dubbed from 16mm b&w prints once sold for home use, even though the originals were in color. One example is "Jingles" (it's actually "Mendelssohn's Spring Song" -- "Jingles" being the series name). Although b&w here, the original is in "Brewster Color." Audio is generally clear.
FAMILY COLLECTION 250 Movie Pack (also from MILL CREEK) is an excellent motion picture supplement to this MCE DVD.
