If you love animation, good storytelling and have not see Michael Sporn’s films, you are missing some truly great work.  Over the years, First Run Features has been issuing his work on DVD and as expected, they have finally been issued in a convenient Collector’s Edition that is worth every penny.  It includes all the previous DVD releases to date that we have been lucky enough to cover, including:

 

Whitewash/Champagne/Talking Eggs/Hunting Of The Snark

Abel’s Island/Dancing Frog/Marzipan Pig/Jazztime Tales

All offer the same 1.33 X 1 image full screen images and Dolby Digital 2.0 sound as the previous editions, as well as the same extras from the previous issues.  If you are interested, we recommend this entire set versus buying the separate editions, but it all adds up to one of the most underrated animators alive.
