This selection of Yugoslavian animation is enjoyable viewing. I noticed a review for one of the other collections gripes about this work not coming close enough to shows like "The Simpsons". This disc is not recommended for an audience expecting American TV animation. It is, however, potentially very interesting viewing for students of international animation and fillm.

There are some all time classics here like Ersatz, Diary and Fisheye but some are strange and even incomprehensible. All are fascinating to watch and beautifully designed. If you're looking for something outside the ordinary American cartoon, get this disk. Here is the film listing. Title year, director, and running time:
