The Pink Jungle was released in 1968, a few movies before the pre-Rockford James Garner decided to hit the small screen with his graceful charm. Largely forgotten, this long-sought adventure-comedy is getting the royal treatment from Kino Lorber Cinema. The film was based on the novel Snake Water by Alan Williams, published in 1965. At the time of release, The Los Angeles Times called it an “uninspired comedy.” Time has been more friendly to The Pink Jungle, it’s a diamond in the rough for collectors.

The extraordinarily versatile Shel Silverstein (1930–1999) was one of the 20th century’s most imaginative authors and illustrators. His picture book “The Giving Tree” and his quirky poetry collections are beloved by children everywhere. The stamp art features a version of the illustration of a boy catching an apple that appears on the cover of “The Giving Tree.” Published in 1964, the best-selling tale of selflessness is considered a children’s literature classic. Art director Derry Noyes designed the stamp.

Directed by Hollywood legend Orson Welles (Citizen Kane, The Stranger, The Lady from Shanghai), Touch of Evil is a film noir masterpiece whose Hollywood backstory is as unforgettable as the movie itself.

Some might argue there is no SpongeBob SquarePants without Ren & Stimpy. The Nickelodeon show from the 90s revolutionized animation to the chagrin of parents. There are elements of early SpongeBob that owes to Ren & Stimpy. Ren & Stimpy relied on vulgarity and offence to capture its audience. This new collection of Ren & Stimpy is the best priced collection put together. The almost complete series is short six episodes from the ill-advised Ren and Stimpy: Adult Party Cartoon (also known as Ren and Stimpy: The Lost Episodes) from Spike TV. This is a perfect collection for those viewing the series for the first time.
