     Bosko Video is proud to announce the release of Volume Two of our film

     retrospective of that classic cat, Felix.  Pat Sullivan's famous cartoon

     cat was the animated king of the screen in the 1920's.

 

     Our series of these classic films are transferred at 18 frames per

     second, and are slightly window-boxed to prevent picture loss due to

     video overscan.  They are duplicated at SP speed, in Hi-Fi stereo sound,

     and have a custom score arranged and played by organist Dave Wickerham. 

     The music score was recorded live in a theatre, in digital stereo.

 

     These tapes are invaluable to colleges, universities, and film students.

     With the ever-growing interest in animation and animation art collecting,

     this historic film retrospective appeals to a large audience.

 

     We will be releasing about fifty of these classic cartoons, most of

     which haven't been seen as originally released almost seventy years ago,

     until now!

                                    REVIEWS:      

     Bosko Video is well renowned for their beyond the call of duty efforts    

     in archiving classic as well as rare animated films.  Dave Butler has

     done it again with two volumes of "Presenting Felix The Cat".  These are

     available on VHS Hi-Fi stereo, digitally mastered, running about an hour.

    

     Butler has even gone to the efforts of using a wet-gate machine, the

     optimum way to transfer film.  The Felix cartoons are window framed

     (black borders on all four sides) so that you don't miss any of the

     action.  You can miss as much as 12% of the video portion due to video

     overscan. With all of this effort, they surprised me by putting the same

     effort into the audio portion.  They actually had an accomplished theatre

     organist, Dave Wickerham, play the soundtrack live on a classic Wurlitzer

     organ in a large 1929 movie palace.  The music itself is an absolute

     knockout.

 

     Volume Two has nine cartoons, as does Volume One.  Both have a brief

     history of the Felix creators and their sad downfall after the over-

     whelming popularity of Mickey Mouse.  If you bought the laserdisc, you

     didn't get it all.  These tapes are a must-have for any real animation

     library.
