Forgotten Gems

We all have some old cartoon tapes lying around that we like to think are rare and hard to find. What are some forgotten gems that you have?

I recently found a broken copy of Journey Back to Oz (an animated sequel to The Wizard) and a working copy of that old "Puff the Magic Dragon" movie. I really want to find an old tape I used to watch that had the children of all the WoOZ characters in it.
 
The Oz Kids? Meh. I liked the concept, but I thought the final products were far too boring. They basically stretched out a twenty plot to ninety minutes each time. It would have worked better as an actual Saturday Morning Cartoon.


For me? I found a tape of old Saturday Morning Cartoons, or rather, a few of them. I miss 'The Mask' and 'Attack of the Killer Tomatoes'.

But on the storebought tape front:

- The Mask: TAS
- Earthworm Jim
- Muppet Babies
- Cartoon All Stars to the Rescue
- Beetlejuice

And others I'd have to dig around to find.
 
I need to go through a slew of my old recorded-off-the-air tapes before too long; there are likely some old and relatively obscure episodes of things there. They likely include:

Conan the Adventurer: Straight-ahead fantasy adventure, pretty well executed for what it was.

Zorro: Relatively short-lived but surprisingly good series from 1997.
 
The Oz Kids... that was what it was called. All I remember is that I loved the concept of Glinda's daughter bordering on evil:evil: .

Don't know how obscure this really is, but I recently found a tape with some Donkey Kong Country episodes on it. Pretty good show, actually...

Oh, and The Last Unicorn:sweat:
 
I think that I have lots of old Disney channel stuff on recorded video but I am not sure we have that anymore. I also have the Rugrats: All Growed Up and I think the behind the scenes special recorded on the night it premired.
 
I have an old VHS copy of an animated "The Secret Garden" movie released by ABC Video back in 1994. And there's no information on it AT ALL on the web. :confused: Anyway, the movie is actually pretty good. :)
 
Ooooh, I have Fern Gully! and I have a tape that has a commercial for that old Secret Garden movie, but your right I can't find anything on it.
 
Well, i dont have many videos on tape, but i do still have the "Iron Giant" from when they used to show it over and over for 24 hours straight on toonami once a year. Every single commercial was for "The PowerPuff Girls Movie" lol!
