Popeye - I'm In The Army Now - 1936 - 7 minutes - Black & White - Animated - Whoa - this one is a winner. Popeye and Bluto are competing for the one slot open for the Army - because Olive wants to go out with a military man. Got it.

Popeye - Patriotic Popeye - 1957 - 6 minutes - Color - Animated - It's the Fourth of July, and Popeye wants his two nephews to have a "safe and sane" holiday. "Who wants to be safe?" asks one nephew. "Yeah, and who wants to be sane?" asks the other. Popeye takes away their box of fireworks, and they plot to get it back.

Popeye - Popeye For President - 1956 - 7 minutes - Color - Animated - Popeye the sailor man is running for president - and it's all tied up. Just one for vote to be cast! By guess who - Olive maybe? Forget Bush, Gore, Bradley, and McCain - This year - it's Popeye for President! What we love about these cartoons are the colors - so rich and saturated - and of course painted by hand - one by one. Nice job! This one is a classic.

Betty Boop - Rythm On The Reservation - 1939 - 7 minutes - Black & White - Animated - Classic episode from America's favorite gal. Betty Boop takes an adventure to meet some real life cartoon Indians and they erupt in an orgy of song and dance. Betty is a one-woman swing band. A highlight is the clever manner in which the characters create music and "swing." This is the last appearance of Betty Boop.

Tom Sawyer - Animated - Based on the story by Mark Twain. Set in 1850s Missouri, Tom Sawyer is born in a small town on the banks of the Mississippi River and brought up by his aunt. Tom is an energetic and kind boy who always seems to find himself in trouble.

Yankee Doodle Donkey - 1945 - 7 minutes, 11 seconds - Color - Animated - Spunky's dream to join the Wags, the almighty dog army, comes true in this tale of bravery and persistence. The advancing flea army is attacking a corps of canine cadets, and the little donkey saves the day by kicking kegs of flea powder into the battlefield!

The Mild West - 1947 - 6 minutes, 54 seconds - Color - Animated - A silly comedy about the untamed wild west. Not to be confused with the show The Wild, Wild West with Robert Conrad as James West, secret service agent. Still, this cartoon is just as politically incorrect and tons of fun. Like many other cartoons from the era, this one contains racial stereotyping that is often offensive to some viewers. Our apologies, we present it as a piece of history. Also features I am an old cowhand sing-a-long.

Paul Bunyon - 1958 - 6 minutes, 6 seconds - Color - Animated - In this adaptation of the American tall tale of modern technology pushing aside old traditions, the legendary giant lumberjack of the North (accompanied by his loyal companion, an equally huge blue ox named Babe) must compete in a woodcutting contest against the new-fangled chainsaw.

The Last Round Up - 1943 - 5 minutes, 42 seconds - Color - Animated - Gandy Goose is helping test artillery by putting an apple on his head (to a swinging version of the William Tell Overture). The first shell is spot on. He backs up against a tree, and this shell comes in low, sending Gandy through a whole line of trees. The "dud" explodes, and sends both Gandy and his sergeant rocketing into the air. They land in a haystack; when all the insects greet them with Heil, they figure out they're in Germany, conveniently near a piglike Hitler and his monkey, Mussolini. Our heroes cause mischief, first by lighting a map Hitler holding on fire, then by using a slingshot to hit Mussolini with a rock. They open fire, and Hitler ducks behind his desk to fire back with cannons. The continued attack sends the dictators to the elevator, and our heroes follow in the next car (down, up, and sideways). Throughout the mansion, wherever the dictators go, our heroes are there to greet them with a variety of guns. Finally, they are cornered in a storage cellar; our heroes send barrels of beer after the dictators, then blow the place up, escaping on an airplane with one of the barrels. The dictators land in a cemetery, where the skeletons pop out of the ground with Heil and our heroes hoist mugs of beer.

Picture-Quality varies on the DVD as each film has experienced the ravages of time!!
