  99 Cent Review, $1.07 with Tax


I took another chance at the 99 Cent Only Store the other day. The Felix and Friends Volume One was the one I thought would be killer. Okay, I knew that the first 3 Felix cartoons are Van Beuren, Burt Gillett / Tom Palmer, squeaky voiced, not really Felix, crap cartoons. I knew that.

It was cartoon number four that I had high hopes for. It was listed as Felix in a Tale of Two Kitties. Now I know that there was no such animal. I`m thinking, Bob Clampett and the first Tweety. The only one where Tweety is flesh colored because the Hays office made them paint him yellow. The one with the Abbott and Castello cats. I don`t have that on DVD.

Well folks, I still don`t have it on DVD. The transfer was really, I mean really bad. The only good thing about the disk is one of my all time favorite Famous Studios cartoons Hep Cat Symphony.

The find turned out to be the Nursery Classics Volume One. Five, count them five Ub Iwerks Cinecolor cartoons with okay to very good transfers. And the Ray Harryhausen Humpty Dumpty fairytale. (You never know when they say Humpty Dumpty one one of these DVD`s what you are going to get)
