I love cheap DVDs of classic cartoons, and the Tom and Jerry Greatest Chases releases are great examples. Out now is Vol. 4 which includes 14 classic shorts.

AnimationOnBluray.com is a new site I just launched. It will feature news, reviews, and a complete release database of all animated Blu-ray titles. Check it out!

The great blog Retro Thing has developed an awesome new retro game controller that looks like the classic Atari joystick. It lights up blue when plugged in via USB, and it’s only $30!

You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown is an animated adaptation of the musical with the same name. Released in the year I was born, I’d never actually seen this until now. It’s cool!

The Lone Chipmunks is a rare Disney short from 1954 that’s only been released on DVD once, and in a really weird way. I just watched it for the first time in years, and it’s still awesome.

Jerry Nelson, who you might know as the characters Floyd, The Count, and Gobo Fraggle, has released an album of original music, and it’s pretty awesome.

Christopher Lee, who you might remember as Saruman in the Lord of the Rings trilogy as well as countless other roles, has recorded a “metal concept album” about Charlemagne. I’m serious.

When G-Force came out in the theaters a while ago, I kept kidding my wife that we were going to go see it, whether she liked it or not. Well, that never happened, but I got the last laugh, because now we have it on Blu-ray.
