"First off I'm a big fan of cartoons and Heathcliff was one of my favorites as a kid, so I like to relive that era sometimes. That being said, I don't understand why cartoons don't get more respect especially when considering the way the releases/DVDs are packaged. Distributors always seem to package the old with the new and this one is no exception.



This DVD contains 5 Heathcliff cartoons, three of which can be found on Heathcliff and the Catillac Cats, and two I've not seen released before. The old: The Great Pussini, Rebel Without Claws, and Heathcliff's Middle Name; the new: Heathcliff Pumps Iron and Big Top Bungling.



So the long and short of it is that if you bought the 4 Disc set, like I did, you get two new cartoons with this DVD.



To distributors: stopping messing with us and just release complete sets of these cartoons or seasons like live-action TV shows. Other cartoons are doing it and it seems to work. With all the cable channels and new cartoons on TV now, I would guess most people buying these "retro cartoons" or in many cases cartoons from the 1980s, are adults who want to remember their childhood or share that memory with their own kids.



I hope they're listening."
