Fairly standard Mill Creek product
For anyone familiar with other Mill Creek collections, this is pretty standard. It's a collection of 600 cartoons, of frequently middling video quality and unknown provenance (i.e. you may being seeing the version originally shown, or the version edited for TV 30 years later). The collection is indiscriminate--"Destination Earth" is a propaganda piece by the oil industry, for example--but most of them are fairly typical cartoons. If you have other cartoon collections, this probably overlaps them, if it doesn't include them. Many of these cartoons are available online from legit sources.

Being familiar with Mill Creek, my worst problem with this set was organization. There's no good reason to spread series across several disks, mixed in with other cartoons. No disk is filled by cartoons with one character or by one series, and one typical example, the Popeye cartoons, have 30 cartoons on one disk, 6 on another, and one more on its lonesome.

Is it worth it? If you...

Three Cheers!
I've always been attracted to old cartoons. This dvd has lots of them and many great memories are here. There are cartoons by Paul Terry, George Pal, and others from the early days of movie cartoons. Cartoon characters include The Little King, Felix the Cat, Toonerville Trolley, Betty Boop, Popeye, Casper, Little Lulu, Farmer Alfalfa, and Dick & Larry aka Tom & Jerry (not the cat and mouse). You'll surely find some that you like. Nope...there aren't any Looney Tunes here, though.
