Vulcan Video

Somewhere near you, a kid is crying out for pre-Kurosawa cinematic sustenance. Sure, cineaste that you are, you could spin Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia on the DVD babysitter, but ask yourself this: Do you really want 10-year-olds on soda jags mainlining Peckinpah and Oates' existential nihilism when they'd much rather be catching a ride on My Neighbor Totoro's cat bus? Or giggling all Seussian with The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T? Nuh-uh. You want – and infinitely more important, they need – the vast library of kidhood awesomeness that Vulcan Video has taken great care to amass. From Harryhausen's Argonauts to The Brave Little Toaster, and from the original, superior Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory to Felix the Cat, Vulcan has whatever your progeny craves mostest. (Just be sure you don't mistakenly snag a copy of Wonder Showzen.)
