I'm surprised at how popular these older movies are with kids.

I took a chance with an "old cartoons" DVD for $5 at Wal-Mart.
It had Popeye and Felix The Cat cartoons in addition to others.
Some of the Popeye cartoons are so old (1937) that they are in black-and-white.

My 4-year-old niece can't be pried away from the DVD. We have to call a
halt when she's watched "Spree Lunch" (Popeye and Bluto compete over
Wimpy as a customer at their diners) about six times in a row.

Wal-Mart has Superman too. I picked up the full 26 episodes of Victory at Sea last week from Wal-Mart for $5.50. They are great. For all you WWII buffs this would make a great addition to your collection. The History Channel is selling them for many times the $5.50 that Wal-Mart is asking for them.

I'd like to get some of the Warner Brothers cartoons from WWII and the decade or two after. Those are hard to find though.
