Movie Reviews of The Lost Cartoons, Vol. 2: Famous Studios
Movie Review: Nine Famous Studios shorts from 1946-50
Summary: 3 Stars
GOOD TIMES VIDEO is one of the original budget-label home video purveyors. You may recall their red boxed VHS tapes of public domain movies from 25 years ago, or their various "Bloopers" compilations from that same era. This company has never been known for highest technical quality. Their claims of "loving restoration" of this collection may be hyperbole, yet I believe any lack of perfection when balanced against price point and content still favors this manufacturer.
THE LOST CARTOONS, Vol. 3 (also from GTV) showcases seven Van Beuren Studios shorts, plus two made by UB Iwerks.

Summary of The Lost Cartoons, Vol. 2: Famous Studios
THE LOST FAMOUS STUDIOS CARTOONS Classic Animation, Unseen for Years and Breathtakingly Restored! Here are some of the best cartoons you've probably never seen, from some of the greatest animators in history. Hundreds of hours of detailed restoration have made them look and sound as good as they did the day they were released. This is the "Lost Cartoons" series, with shorts that have not been seen in this condition since their original theatrical release. After the Fleischer Brothers left Paramount in 1942, the studio's animation was produced by Famous Studios (a partnership including directors Izzy Sparber and Seymour Kneitel). Assembled from three different sources, Land of the Lost Jewels is complete, for the first time in years; an original pencil test for Little Red School Mouse is previously unreleased. 1) Pleased to Eat You 2) Sudden Fried Chicken 3) The Lost Dream 4) Up an' Downs Derby 5) Land of the Lost Jewels 6) The Big Flame Up 7) A Mutt in a Rut 8) The Emerald Isle 9) Little Red School Mouse Thomas R.
