Famous Studios

Rating:
Summary: Not Great
Review: Famous Studios was to Paramount what Looney Tunes was to Warner Brothers and Disney was to...Disney, I guess. The Famous Studios cartoons, however, just weren't very good. The best were from Popeye, and other characters (Little Lulu, Baby Huey) had a few winners, but overall, the studio's output was sub-par. The best cartoons on this disc are Popeye's "Out to Punch" and the reasonably engaging bouncing-ball cartoon "The Mild West." ("The Mild West" is one that I fondly remember from my childhood, so I may be biased).
Unlike some of the DVDs from the Cartoon Crazys series, this one looks a bit smeary and scratchy, and some of the colours are faded. Like the rest of the Cartoon Crazys DVDs, new sound effects have been added, and they strike me as being a little on the distracting side. Included on the DVD is some interesting information about Famous Studios.

Summary: Only worth the bouncing ball cartoons
Review: If it were a collection of the bouncing ball cartoons this would be a GREAT DVD. I give the three bouncing ball cartoons on this DVD 5 stars, except for the fact that you have to sit through the song. The sound on this DVD is horrid. It is a FEEL THE SOUND DVD which actually means, LET'S RUIN THE ORIGINAL SOUND BY ADDING RIDICULOUS SOUND EFFECTS. Buy for the bouncing ball movies ONLY.
