Another 99 Cent Review:

I have been back to the 99 Cent Only Store and there are good picking on the DVD shelves again but not as good as before.

East West Entertainment has hacked out a number of sub standard DVDs with title animations so poorly done that they are not even good enough for a Jerry Beck Worst Animation Screening when he is feeling very mean. The Boy that Cried Wolf is a dog which the disk forces you to watch by auto starting it as soon as you pop in the disk. But who cares. Hit the next button. The only reason to buy this DVD is the Bonus material.

They list:

Ant & the Grasshopper (which is no where on the disk)
Superman, the Bulleteers
You`re too Careless with Your Kisses (Rudy Ising 1932 - very Cob Web Hotel like)
All This and Rabbit Stew (bad print)
Bosko`s Party (it plays the end twice - very sloppy editing folks)
Daffy the Commando (Fritz 1943 - the reason I bought the disk)
Robin Hood Makes Good
To Duck or Not to Duck

Daffy the Commando is a jewel of war time propaganda animation that even has rotoscoped shots of Hitler getting clobbered by Daffy Duck. Good stuff. You`re too Careless with Your Kisses is another gem.

Too bad that these people have never heard of chapter breaks so it is real hard to get to the good stuff. The production is cheap and shoddy and down right careless. But still 99 cents for Commando and Kisses is a deal and if you don`t have Bosko`s Party this will do in a pinch.
