Some Real Gems Here
I'm not a big fan of the movie 50-Packs. Most are throw-away losers and not worth the price no matter how cheap. But this 100-Pack of old cartoons is a pretty good deal. The modern cartoons in production today are so pathetically abysmal that I won't let my grandkids watch them. In their effort to be politically correct and multicultural they've managed to take out all the humor. I show the kids these old gems and they love them. Kids are smart enough to know that no one is really getting hurt and it's all for fun. <

>As with all these multi-packs, be ready for some sub-standard audio/video quality. These are not digitally remastered. But for the price they are enjoyable and your kids can see cartoons that are actually funny. Beware that the "Tom & Jerry" listed on the pack is not the cat and mouse series that everyone is familiar with. This Tom & Jerry series is from the 1930s and is about two men. There is still a lot of good stuff here for the price. <

>(I would also recommend the Looney Tunes Classics that are available at Amazon. These are many of the Warner Brothers cartoons that have been remastered with great results.)

Mostly rubbish, but worth having if a little cheaper.
I live in Australia and this sort of public domain stuff is available on DVD for about $1.50 US, and U know you can get them for $1 at bnricks and mortar stores in the US, so even the $26 price tag for 10 public domain DVDs is hardly impressive. <

>I'd say there's maybe 2 DVD's total of good stuff here, but chances are you have most of it somewhere else if you have many PD compilations. The cover is misleading too, with its highlighting Betty Boop and Felix. There are 4 Betty Boops, and just 1 Felix - and that's not even a Fleischer, but a mediocre Famous studios one. The saving graces are a healthy serving of Popeye (though again, nearly all (if not all) later Famous Studios stuff - which is probably the best stuff Famous ever did, but that's not saying much. <

>There is also a decent amount of Van Beuren's Tom and Jerry, though I've seen more extensive and better selections elsewhere for less, and the couple of Toonerville Trolley cartoons are a nice pickup. Apart from that there is probably 7 or 8 DVDs worth of material which varies from watchable to awful; the bottom of the barrel being the Hoffnung Orchestra stuff, which is just utterly excruciatingly awful, and doesn't even have the excuse of being all that old. If you've never seen a giraffe in blackface, check out 'Camptown Races'. Or the excruiatingly bad Molly Moo Cow from VB. <

>A friend gave me this, and I'm glad I have it is, as there a few gems in there, and if I didn't have the Popeye stuff, it might be worth it just for that, but let's face it, this is a thrown together compilation of mostly mediocre to poor PD cartoons, and even at $26.99 it's not really cheap. If you don't mind paying... say $9 per disc for reasonably decent, unrestored PD cartoons, and getting 7 DVDs of mostly rubbish thrown in, fair enough. <

>Check out your $1 stores first. <

>Decent packaging though.

So many old cartoons!
If you like to sit back and remember the first cartoons then this pack is for you. There are so many cartoons on so many disks that your kids won't be bored for days and most of the memorable old cartoons are on here, like Heckle & Jeckyl etc. so you will watch them too. <

>Just remember alot of these are in black and white (because obviously they are old cartoons) and you can hardly hear most of them, so your speakers will have to be up! At least i had to turn my speakers way up... <

>Lots of old memories ran through my head watching popeye and Felix the Cat!
