Great Classics, 2008-11-15
I have this DVD and it is a great addition to our collection. My 4 year old daughter prefers them to anything else. I loved them as a child and now I find myself glued to the TV when I have them on for my daughter.

Watermarked and cropped to letterbox (4:3), 2008-08-03
Some of the films are watermarked with an ugly logo (imo a sacrilege). Also all films have been chopped and cropped to fit the standard 4:3 letterbox-TV. br / br /I find the selection of films a little strange. Wasn't this supposed to be classics? Of course Betty Boop and Popye can be called classics, but there's some obscure stuff in there, including clay animations(!). Early clay animations may of course be of interest to many, but it was certainly not something I expected, and I don't think you can call the clay animations *cartoon* classics.

I purchased this tape for the little kids next door and it was fun listening to them giggle and watching them dance.

It should get no stars,but that is not an available option here., 2008-03-31
It took some doing but the ocean county library system tracked this down for me..I thank them for going to all of that trouble,even if,in the end,it was a complete waste of time and effort..The cartoons here are old,out-dated,some of them so badly "mastered" as to be pathetic.Sure,there is a market out there for old Betty Boop and suchlike things,but except for the nostalgia factor these cartoons have not,for the most part,held up..The Disney classic animated tales,like Snow White,Cinderella,Peter Pan and the rest are timeless,while most of these are timeworn..Now I KNOW that the fans of these old and sadly lacking items will climb all over me for saying that you should avoid this and other similiar collections,but so what?People collect beer cans,pet rocks,bottle caps even balls of string,so why not collect and celebrate old,worn out,boring cartoons from way,way back in the day?To each his/her own,but,really,these things are not for the mainstream..Even my grandchildren grew bored quickly,which should tell you something.

Details provided for all cartoons, 2008-03-31
150 CARTOON CLASSICS, along with the ULTIMATE 150 CARTOON FESTIVAL, were MCE's original jumbo animation DVD sets. These two multi-packs have been neatly combined (with an attractively designed heavy paper oversleeve) into the AMAZING 300 CLASSIC CARTOON COLLECTION. br / br /Video dubs on "150 Cartoon Classics" vary from very good quality to barely fair. There's no evidence here of digital enhancement. Some shorts are taken from 16mm bw 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 bw here, this was originally in "Brewster Color." Audio is generally clear, however a few titles have unsynched sound and picture. Also, MILL CREEK flashes their logo on-screen for several seconds midway through each short. br / br /Betty Boop is most plentiful in this collection, followed by Popeye and The New 3 Stooges. Less-common cartoons include works from Britain, France and Canada. Studios represented: AUDIO PRODUCTIONS, BREWSTER, CAMBRIA, CORNELL, FAMOUS, FLEISCHER, HALAS BATCHELOR, JEFFERSON, LANTZ, NEW WORLD, PIED PIPER, POWERS, SOFAC, SULLIVAN, TERRYTOON, VAN BEUREN and WINKLER. br / br /FAMILY CLASSICS 100 Movie Pack (also from MILL CREEK) is an excellent motion picture supplement to this MCE DVD. br / br / br /FOR A COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAM LIST (including studios and synopses), br /SEE COMMENTS #1 and #2, LOCATED DIRECTLY BELOW THIS REVIEW.
