"Great curios of the cartoon world. Be warned, though, some of these cartoons are of dubious quality, and many of them don't make any sense. That's part of the reason why they're so charming! I particularly enjoyed Sniffy Escapes Poisoning, a PSA cautioning children against using pharmaceuticals in which pills sing and dance. Joi De Vivre was a real surprise on the compilation. This beautiful and surreal short is a also great example of art nouveau. Highly recommended to anyone interested in animation history!"
