Dollar DVDs Are Back

A month or so ago I was bemoaning the fact that my local 99 Cent Only store had stopped selling PD Animation DVDs or any DVDs. Today I was in Target and what do they have for just 1 penny more, Public Domain DVDs.

I picked up this Davey and Goliath gem and watched as much of it as my overly evangelized scarred youth would let me watch.

Low and behold when reading the credits I found the name of my friend Ken Southworth under the animator credits. I have known Ken for about 12 years and never knew he did stop motion animation. I knew all about his Disneys stuff, his Walter Lantz years and his time with Tex Avery at MGM and H & B but not a peep about straight ahead puppet animation. Ken, I am even more impressed.
