Only when I saw this DVD in a Shopko did I remember my old, worn-out VHS tape of Little Lulu I loved as a child. This DVD includes the only 8 episodes I am familiar with:

Chick and Double Chick
Bargain Counterattack
A Bout With a Trout
Loose in a Caboose
Bored of Education
A Scout With the Gout
Musical Lulu
The Dog Show Off

The cartoons are great but the DVD will leave you wanting. Absolutely no extras and it comes in a paper sleeve. The picture and sound quality are not DVD quality. But if you are a Lulu fan, it's worth it to have these episodes at such a cheap price. I give it a two because the disc has nothing save the cartoons, but they're still great!

I thoroughly enjoyed the Little Lulu 8 Full Length Episodes. It brought back many wonderful childhood memories watching Little Lulu. I appreciate the older cartoons versus today's more modern cartoons. The older cartoons were much more creative, less aggressive and friendlier towards children. Good and evil and the idea of a conscience was stressed versus the ambiguity of morals in today's cartoons.
Newer cartoons seem to strip away the innocence of what a child should see and experience...they are too complicated, rigid and often times have elements of violence that assault a child's senses. Today's cartoons do not enhance a child's imagination, but smother it in adult oriented themes. Give me Little Lulu any day of the week! Kudos to the animators of yesterday's cartoons.

This a collection of eight Little Lulu cartoon movies. One has a scene where Lulu is spiritually pulled in opposite directions by an angel and a devil on her shoulders. The angel was very good, and the devil was very bad. Both look much like Lulu herself. This was a simple but effective dramatization. It is too bad that people now see it as unsophisticated.

I bought this Little Lulu DVD for a dollar in Target. They had a bunch of cheapy 1 dollar DVDs in a display suggested as stocking stuffers and this lady who was also looking at the DVDs was telling me how much she loved Little Lulu when she was a kid so I bought the DVD and watched it the other day and I'm not sure how old this cartoon is or what year they were made but it looks like it was from the 40's. Or was it from the 70's or 80's and just made to look like it was made in the 30's or 40's? On the cover it says that Tracey Ullman did the voice for Little Lulu. Is that the same Tracey Ullman who had that show on Fox that had those mini-Simpsons cartoons that lead to the Simpsons show? Or is it another Tracey Ullman or just a typo on the back cover? The cartoons themselves were okay but one of the cartoons Loose on a Caboose wasn't very politically correct with how it drew the African American man and the Native American man which leaves me to think that this cartoon is old and made back when people thought stuff like that was amusing. Another thing is that Little Lulu is a brat and I hear older people always saying that Bart the brat from the Simpsons and Angelica the brat from Rugrats are bad influences for children but Little Lulu isn't any better and I wonder if some parents of the time of Little Lulu thought she was a bad influence on their kids.
