THE ARCHIVAL ANIMATION LOT
BOZZETTO - GUFFAW AND ORDER - ROCKETSHIP REEL
SEALED BOZZETTO - PRISTINE CONDITION - RARE ANIMATION
RARE ANIMATION SELECTION:
This lot features three highly sought-after animation titles from a personal archive. Hand-selected and preserved for over three decades.
1. BRUNO BOZZETTO ANIMATION:
A true collector's item, this collection showcases the genius of Italy's master animator, Bruno Bozzetto. Often described as the "Italian Walt Disney" but with a sharp, satirical edge, Bozzetto’s work blends fluid, imaginative animation with poignant social commentary. This disc features several of his most celebrated shorts, which utilize his signature vibrant colors and "squash-and-stretch" style that influenced generations of animators worldwide.
- Includes:
- "Signor Rossi" Shorts: Bozzetto’s most famous character. Mentioning Signor Rossi by name will immediately flag the listing for European collectors and hardcore fans of Italian satire.
- "Grasshoppers" (Cavallette): A brilliant, condensed history of human warfare told through a single patch of grass. It’s one of his most "prestigious" shorts.
2. GUFFAW AND ORDER:
A brilliant curation of vintage "slapstick" animation that focuses on the chaotic side of the law and societal rules. This collection features various classic studio shorts where the physical comedy is the star. It is highly regarded by animation historians for its display of mid-century timing and "gags" that defined the golden age of theatrical cartoons.
- Includes:
- "The Dover Boys" (Chuck Jones): If this specific WB short is on your pressing, it’s a goldmine. It’s legendary for its "smear animation" technique—where characters blur from one position to another—which changed the way cartoons were made forever.
- "A Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass Double Feature": Often included in these high-end compilations, these shorts by John and Faith Hubley are icons of mid-century modern "cool" design and won an Academy Award.
The ultimate compilation for fans of "Space Age" and sci-fi animation. This disc assembles a variety of shorts centered around man’s fascination with the cosmos, ranging from the whimsical to the technically adventurous. It captures that specific 20th-century aesthetic of rocket ships, aliens, and moon landings, making it a favorite for those who appreciate the intersection of retro-futurism and classic hand-drawn art.
- Includes:
- Bambi Meets Godzilla (1969): A legendary masterpiece of minimalist dark comedy and one of the most famous independent animated shorts in history. Created by Marv Newland, this cult classic perfectly subverts expectations with its serene opening and famously abrupt, "crushing" finale. It remains a quintessential piece of animation lore that is a must-have for any serious collector of the medium’s most influential works.
- "The Big Snit" (Richard Condie): This is one of the most famous National Film Board of Canada shorts. It’s a surreal, hilarious masterpiece about a couple playing Scrabble while a nuclear war breaks out outside. It was nominated for an Oscar and is a massive "want" for collectors.
- "Quasi at the Quackadero" (Sally Cruikshank): This is an underground psychedelic classic. It’s weird, colorful, and represents the best of the 1970s independent "indie" animation scene.
PROVENANCE: This was new inventory before I moved it into my private archive (see below: ABOUT ME). It has been stored upright and protected from all environmental elements. Most of my offerings were only played once or twice. Unless specified, all are in excellent original condition. Any flaws will be duly noted! I don't like surprises any more than you do!
A unique opportunity for the serious animation collector to acquire shop-fresh copies of these rare titles.
PROFESSIONAL SHIPPING FOR COLLECTORS: We do not use flimsy bubble mailers. Your LaserDiscs will be shipped in a genuine vinyl/laserdisc cardboard shipper, reinforced heavy-duty with cardboard stiffeners on top and bottom to prevent the jacket from bending. To prevent shipping damage, all materials will be shipped outside the jacket and placed in the outer slip. We recommend Priority Mail as the post office tends to treat those packages better, but we provide many options and will ship by your method of choice.
A NOTE ABOUT ME: I used to own an independent Audio/Video store, and most of my listings were new inventory before I took them home. Most of my offerings were only played once or twice. Unless specified, all are in excellent original condition. Any flas will be duly noted! I don't like surprises any more than you do!
I no longer have a laserdisc player and these have been sitting in a temperature controlled room for years, so I'm beginning to parse off singles, and multi-disc lots, (as of Jan), will be adding titles and lots daily. I ALWAYS combine lots to save on shipping, and due to the weight of Laserdiscs in general, recommend media mail to keep the costs, down, but I'll ship anyway you select, but INSURANCE is always included, so that adds to the shipping costs a tiny bit.

Having met eBay standards for excellence in trading, you may bid with confidence knowing you will get what you THINK you are bidding on! Please check my feedback. It is a record I am very proud of...
I have LOTS of music items, and tons of books available for purchase. Please check my other offerings to see if there is anything else you might be interested in for combined shipping. There are links above and below and why not bookmark my site to make it easier to find at a later date!
PAYMENT TERMS: Pretty simple. Pay me, I send it, BUT ONLY TO A REGISTERED ADDRESS! Please do not ask to have it sent to an alternate location as I won't be able to comply per eBay policy. See below..
Why Are My Shipping & Handling Costs a Bit Higher than Other Sellers? Please Read on...
GUARANTEED DELIVERY OR YOUR MONEY BACK!
I really DO CARE about when and how your product gets to you. Because the post office is so incredibly inept, I ONLY SHIP domestic packages INSURED, which is AUTOMATICALLY INCLUDED in the shipping cost, and that is not free as the post office charges for it. If your parcel gets lost OR damaged in freight, your item will be replaced if one is available OR you will be completely refunded!
IMPORTANT MONEY SAVING TIP! If you are buying more than one of my items and would like to SAVE MONEY by COMBINING SHIPPING costs, I will be happy to do so, but eBay has now made it more difficult to get discounts by confusing people with "Buy it Now" and "Add to Cart" options on non-auction style pages. If you are buying one item from a seller use the Buy it Now. BUT IF YOU WANT COMBINED or FREE SHIPPING, DO NOT USE THE BUY IT NOW button! Instead, select ADD TO CART. Then use your BACK button on your browser and select the other items you want that qualify using ADD TO CART each time. When you are finished, look for the shopping cart icon at the top right corner of your eBay page and click on it. Find the blue button which reads COMMIT TO BUY & SEND REQUEST. Once done, the items will be held and I will create a single invoice with either combined or free shipping. NOTE: I cannot retroactively go back and combine items that are not purchased in this manner so PLEASE PAY ATTENTION.
Once you receive your invoice, payment is expected promptly! All of the payment info you need will be listed including multiple shipment options.
Some states will require sales tax to be collected. Ebay will collect such as required. I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THIS!
PAYMENT OPTIONS:
I accept Credit Cards, eChecks and electronic transfers with 
. Unfortunately, direct bank transfers are not offered due to cost and security concerns. As I reside in the USA, all payments must be made in US Dollars & Cents.
SHIPPING ADDRESSES: IMPORTANT!! I can ONLY SHIP to the address as noted in PAYPAL'S "TRANSACTION DETAILS". If you want it shipped to an alternate location, you will need to register that address BEFORE paying or it will be shipped to the registered address.
SHIPPING COSTS: Shipping costs will be determined by weight & destination! You may click on the SHIPPING & PAYMENT tab found at the top of the page, just under the item's picture for all shipping options to all destinations both domestic and international. There you will find drop down boxes for your location and you can then use the shipping calculator to determine the correct cost for where you live.
REALLY, REALLY IMPORTANT INFO ABOUT SHIPPING TIMES:
Media Mail (once known as 4th class mail) is a special class of postage for books, music, videos and other printed media available within the US and territories. It is far less expensive than Priority Mail, but - it ..... is ........... slooowwwww!!!! Despite USPS claims of 3-9 day delivery times, MEDIA MAIL CAN actually TAKE UP TO 3 WEEKS to arrive, and their tracking info is frequently not updated until it actually arrives, making that feature pretty useless! PLEASE remember this when you leave feedback scores as the choice is yours and not my fault if it takes a long time to get there! If you want it in a week or less, you are going to have to bite the bullet and pay for Priority Mail which will get it there in 2-3 working days, 99% of the time, but it is more expensive. Basically, the choice is yours, but if you choose media mail, please don't write to me in 5 days asking where your package is, because the post office will have it and most of the time, they don't have a clue!
