Top 25 Cartoons plus 10
I compiled this DVD as a birthday gift to a young friend of mine. It was so well received that I thought others might enjoy it as well so up goes this torrent.
The first 25 animated cartoon shorts on the DVD are the Top 25 cartoons from a list taken from a book called: The 50 Greatest Cartoons: As Selected by 1,000 Animation Professionals. It is a 1994 book by animation historian Jerry Beck, consisting of articles about, and rankings of fifty highly-regarded animated short films made in North America, as well as many other notable cartoons. It generated a significant amount of notice and discussion at the time, and is still commonly cited. The list itself aimed to be authoritative by taking votes from 1000 people working in the animation industry. Those "professionals" chose those cartoons they thought were best.
In addition to compiling the first 25 'greatest cartoons' the 'experts' chose, I added 10 more of my personal favorites to the DVD.
Here is the list of DVD contents:

I have uploaded an iso disk image of the DVD I made and included a pdf copy of the Cover for a DVD case I made so you can easily put it together as a nice gift package like I did if you want to. If you are going to burn the image to DVD rather than mount it on a virtual drive to watch, you will have to use a double layer DVD. Alternately you could use DVD Shrink or similar software to reduce the size a bit to fit on a single layer DVD but you'll lose some quality in the shrinking process.
In its current state, quality of the video and sound is pretty good to excellent on most of the titles but on a very few of them the quality of the video is okay but not the greatest... (bear in mind, though, that some of these cartoons are from the earlier days of cinema and have an old-film grainy-look to them).
Thanks in advance for your help with the seeding.
