Facets Multi-media is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the media arts. We show great
movies year-round in our two small cinemas, and we're home to The Chicago International Children's
Film Festival, the largest competitive kids fest in the U.S. We also maintain a large video retail store,
a live performance space, and of course, our worldwide mail-order video catalog.
Along with all of you who have enjoyed and used The Whole Toon Catalog for many years, we were
fascinated with this unique resource for animation. Since acquiring the catalog in 1996, along with the
services of Whole Toon's founder, Doug Ranney, we have been working hard to maintain the spirit of
Whole Toon.
We continue seeking out and providing you with the widest assortment of animated films from across
the globe. In the near future, we plan to expand your access to these films even further, through a
database on our World Wide Web site. It's a tradition that fits perfectly with our long-standing
commitment to classic, foreign, independent and fine arts cinema.
The Whole Toon Catalog was started in 1988 by animation lovers for animation lovers. We strive to
provide the finest selection of animated films from the world over. We buy from hundreds of sources
and we're constantly on the lookout for new films on video, whether they come from Disney or the
smallest independent producer. After years of serving animation fans, scholars and professionals, we've
accumulated an unmatched knowledge of cartoons released on home video. Whether you seek that
certain East European stop-motion rarity or desire the complete canon of Tex Avery, we are here to
provide it if it's been released on tape.
We aim to satisfy animation fans like ourselves, so you won't find much Saturday-morning fare, or
really anything in the way of "kidvid." You won't see live-action fare such as muppets or The
Thunderbirds, or even live-action films that incorporate animated effects (such as King Kong or
Jason & The Argonauts). What you will find in these pages is the best selection of quality animated
films assembled anywhere.

To order the Flintstones Collection
laserdisc boxed set, see Page 36.
This is one cool home video product. This four-disc set was produced by Spumco
(the creators of Ren and Stimpy) and John Kricfalusi drew the cover and wrote most
of the accompanying booklet tracing the first half-year of The Flintstones. You will
learn more about your favorite "modern Stone-Age family" than you ever thought
possible. The laserdiscs contain the first fourteen episodes in production order, thus
you get to see how the Flintstones developed as the show progressed. Fred is more
pissed-off, Barney has that cool "retarded" voice, and Dino is barely seen in these
earliest episodes. All feature the original "Rain or Shine" first season opening titles
as opposed to the "Meet The Flintstones" theme opening we've all come to know. -
There is also a selection of original broadcast Flintstone commercials for adult products like Alka-Seltzer and
Winston cigarettes; the original "Flagstones" pilot film; pencil test animation; a section on how to identify
Flintstones animators (you'll be able to tell a Preston Blair "Flintstone" from a Dan Gordon "Rubble"); and a
gallery of l 960's vintage Flintstone toys and merchandise. The booklet contains an interview with designer Ed
Benedict and complete show credits (long since missing from the syndicated TV prints), along with John K.'s
personal comments on each show. If you are looking for Pebbles and Bamm Bamm or The Great Gazoo, look
elsewhere. This is for true 'Stone-heads only, and it's fantastic. Buy this!

I urge everyone who reads this newsgroup to get a copy of the latest
Whole Toon Catalog (#13) . Not only is there a cool index of all the
Oscar animation nominees, there is commentary by Jerry Beck on various
video releases. He makes some interesting comments about "The Golden
Age of Looney Tunes Vol. 5", as well as some other animation
collections.
