Public Domain Highlights: Starling Films

Image
Our next highlight from the Public Domain Grey Market was one of the last to promote the Looney Tunes, and ideally one of the worst companies to put out cartoons ever. Starling Films was formed in 2004.  Their mission: release the greatest cartoons ever made for the family to enjoy, and fortunately for them, those greatest cartoons, or at least some of them, somehow or other ended up in the public domain allowing grey markets such as Starling to put out.  The main cartoons usually featured were Looney Tunes, Popeye, and sometimes Casper, Woody Woodpecker, and Mighty Mouse (the latter two only had one cartoon in the public domain).  The next step was to restore them to make them look better than ever.  Did they do a good restoration job however???  We'll keep you hanging as we find out on the next Dragonball Z............ Obviously we have to look at the art covers.  They appear to have been traced off of the cartoons themselves which is fine cons...

Scooby-Doo Walkaround Costumes

Image
For 50 years now, Scooby Doo has entertained both children and adults in many forms of media, though best remembered were the Saturday Morning Cartoons.  As his popularity increased, it was only natural for him and his mystery solving gang (and sometimes Scrappy Doo as shown above) to become meet-able characters to interact with.  So we are doing yet another Walkaround Costume list. NOTES:  1.This list is for the Scooby-Doo costume only.  No Shaggy, Fred, or Daphne or any other characters are listed on here.                 2.These characters must have been official by their copyright holders at that time.  No bootlegs nor Maskimal heads being mentioned on here.                 3. The names given to these costumes are chosen by me.  No official names have been given to any of these costumes except for Live Spectacular Scooby Doo             ...
