When I was growing up in the late 1950s and early 1960s Japanese Anime was just starting to be played in the United States.
Many of shows consisted of bits and pieces of episodes of popular Anime assembled together resulting in episodes that were dubbed in English and catered to an American audience.
One such show was Astro Boy and I loved it! Imagine a robot boy with incredible powers fighting rogue robots, monsters and whatever else he faced. It was a young boy’s dream come true!
In 2003 Astro Boy was reborn in a brand new series that successfully recaptured the awe and wonder of the original.
Watch as Astro Boy channels his atomic might to ward off invaders, criminals and dangers of all sorts. I love it!
Who doesn't like cute puppies and dogs? Especially a small, cuddly puppy with big brown eyes and a winning personality.
In the Joe Camp’s Benji Movie Collection dog lovers and fans of wholesome family entertainment are treated to three films starring everyone’s canine hero.
Benji: The Original Classic presents Benji’s first appearance.
For The Love Of Benji: Benji is lost in Athens, Greece and is desperately trying to avoid spies who want the information hidden in a tattoo on Benji’s paw.
Benji: Off The Leash! finds Benji lost in a small Mississippi town where he meets a 14-year old boy whom he finds a common purpose with that will save lives.
It’s Benji to the rescue in three terrific tales of canine cunning, cuteness and commotion!
