'Gulliver's Travels'
A classic children's tale, the animated 'Gulliver's Travels' can be seen here online. I loved it is as a kid, and while the online version doesn't do it justice, it's fun to see again and hear the old tunes. The old Fleischer Studios style will take you back and make you laugh.

'Superman' Cartoons from the 1940s
They're not really movies, but they were shown at the movies -- and one was even nominated for an Academy Award. These are very cool 1940s Superman cartoons, stylish and impeccably drawn by the Max Fleischer studios - the very first 'Superman' cartoons. Definitely more entertaining than the anti-piracy PSAs and soft drink ads we get in the theaters today.

Adults will enjoy 'Santa Claus Conquers the Martians' for the so-bad-it's-good factor, and the very young Pia Zadora in a key role. Young children may enjoy the harmless plot, in which Santa is kidnapped by Martian parents so their kids can get some presents, too.
