"The FAMILY FUN 50 MOVIE PACK has over 30 titles not issued on previous MILL CREEK box sets. Seven of these "new releases" star Rin Tin Tin Jr. There's also a sled dog movie here (Toby McTeague). Besides several other animal stories, included are classic literature, a condensed movie serial, an animated feature, adventure yarns, westerns and comedies. It's a nice mix of lesser-known family-geared films at a very reasonable price.


FAMILY CLASSICS 100 MOVIE PACK is the ultimate DVD collection of wholesome entertainment.

Very Good for Kids, but Comedy Kings is better.

"At least a dozen of these movies are also on Comedy Kings, but this is good for smaller kids. Buy Comedy Kings if you want a better set."
