When animated-films were released on VHS, it was finally possible to watch programming, at your leisure. Children everywhere were treated to their favorite classics. And, it quickly became a popular gift idea. Most notably, there were many lesser-known films released. And, these programs are definitely worth reviewing. The following pages are dedicated toward archiving the VHS era.
