I remember borrowing a vhs player from college so I could watch some blake 7 tapes .

When Miss Seagoon was little I remember getting dumbo , she must have been about 4, and when older, around 7, we got totoro. There were few childrens shows on tape then and the ones there were were hideously expensive and beyond my budget

I used to watch Monsters Inc and Ice Age all the time on one of these. Like non stop. I can still quote them and remember all the little shorts and ads at the start of them. Also had Aladdin and The King of Thieves, which to me is the canon sequel to the first film (Aladdin 2 sucks ass and I'll die on that hill).

Anyway, wow super nostalgic!

I wonder where you'd pick up one of those now? Got a few old tapes around here somewhere!
