The Puppetoon Movie Volume 3 08/19/23

George Pal’s magical stop-motion Puppetoons are back for a third go-round, and the word is that this volume’s selection of Technicolor short subjects is better, and better-looking, than ever. We grew up with these wood-and-paint wonders in B&W on TV, and their rediscovery adds another chapter to animation history. Reviewer Charlie Largent persuses the ‘new batch’ in this Limited Edition which includes an entry from Dr. Seuss, and the mind-bending Puppetoon in which Jasper battles the Screwball Army. Extras include Cel Animation cartoons in HD. The musical Puppetoons have performances by Peggy Lee, Louis Armstrong and Woody Herman. On Blu-ray from Puppetoon Productions.
