These charming little 5-minute cartoons used previously existing, wonderfully produced children's records as their narrative and added cute but limited animation. The stories I have seen are more than entertaining, especially if you grew up listening to those book and record story sets that used to be so popular. Unfortunately, there seems to be only a handful that are in circulation out of the over 100 that were produced. They used to show up frequently as filler on those public domain cartoon VHS/DVD sets and seem to have found a new life on Youtube. Included were Fairy Tales, Folklore, Adventure, Biblical, Musical and Educational Stories such as Cinderella, HANSEL AND GRETEL, SLEEPING BEAUTY, RUMPELSTILTSKIN, PINOCCHIO, CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS, David & GOLIATH, NOAH'S ARK, ALADDIN, TREASURE ISLAND, PAUL BUNYAN, LITTLE HAWK, THE ENCHANTED HORSE, ALI BABA, DIANA & THE GOLDEN APPLES, TOM SAWYER, ROBIN HOOD, PANCHITO, THE KINGS TRUMPET, THE MAGIC CLOCK and many others. It would be nice if someone would release all of them in a complete collection.
