KID STUFF??? CARTOONS!!!

You don't see them much anymore. They've become part of vanishing America, a relic from the past, a cinema oldie but cartoons at the local theater before the main feature began were a manistay for decades. From Asop's Fables to Felix The Cat, Oswald The Rabbit, Scrappy, Betty Boop, Popeye, Mutt And Jeff, Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Goofy, Pluto and all of the rest of the Disney crew, along with Tom and Jerry, Mighty Mouse, Superman, Looney Tunes, Terry Tunes and countless other entries, cartoons were kid stuff but back then they appealed to the kid in us all. I over the last decade have been in a theater when rarely a cartoon is shown and the reaction has always been a positive one. I've often wondered why with such a large amount of already produced product, the studios don't release more of the cartoons and let us enjoy them again and share yet another piece of history with yet another generation.
