Cartoons and Cartoons

I got this from Lane Buschel who read my column on cartoons. Here are a few cartoons that have returned to the modern screen to consider buying for kids.

Hi Judy,

I saw your piece on WFIE’s website (“Expert Commentary...Old Cartoons Are Best for Kids”) and wanted to let you know that Classic Media owns many of the cartoons you reference and is in fact re-releasing a number of them this spring in “Best Of” format. Characters include:

Tennessee Tuxedo
Go Go Gophers
Rocky & Bullwinkle
Boris & Natasha
