Classic Animation
Many of us miss the cartoons that always accompanied movies up until the last 25 years or so. Budgetary, time considerations and the Multi-plex culture, as well as competition from television, have pretty much done away with the Popeye, Betty Boop, Mighty Mouse, Road Runner and Daffy Duck mini-masterpieces that ran between the previews and the main feature!
