Melba Moore sings "Holding Out For a Hero" while Marvel characters strike cool poses.

Also, Wolverine's brown and yellow costume of the 80s has always been my favorite of his outfits.

A strange little film, but I think the puppeteer does a pretty good job of bringing Pirro to life.

The other episodes are currently lost. Which is a shame, because it seems like a cute little show.

Being safe is great and all, but I feel like my mom would be furious if I begged for a sword for my Halloween costume and then sawed the pointy end off.

This tape was available as a free rental at Blockbuster Video.

Wikipedia article for the Flintstones pinball machine. Also, I love the shot of all the Flintstones movie merch at the beginning. It reminded me that I had the little figure of Fred with the dinosaur pickaxe, but I don't remember how or why I had one.

According to the uploader there are some text-only pages missing, but it's still a cool thing to look through.

From In70mm.com about the Showscan Dynamic Motion Simulator:

Intamin Corporation Inc. Est. ("Intamin"), a Liechtenstein corporation that is a manufacturer of amusement park rides, has developed hydraulically actuated theater seats that can be synchronized with a film image projected onto a screen in front of the seats. By synchronizing the motion of hydraulic seats with the projection of an action Showscan film, the Company and Intamin have been able to simulate the experience and motion of a ride, such as a roller coaster, a racecar or a submarine. The theaters in which such mechanized seats and Showscan equipment are installed are called Dynamic Motion Theaters. The Company and Intamin anticipate that Dynamic Motion Theaters will be established to simulate a series of approximately two to four minute action rides and intend to market the theater to amusement centers, tourist attractions and other locations frequented by large numbers of people, possibly including shopping centers.

The three proof of concept pilot films made during the long (and troubled) production of Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland.

The 1980 pilot uses an art style way more similar to the original Windsor McCay comics, the '84 one looks pretty similar to the final product, and the 87 pilot is interestingly somewhere in the middle.

A booklet of concept art/planning documents for Disney's 2007 revamp of Paradise Pier. Includes an interesting proposed villians-themed take on the California Screamin' rollercoaster. Kind of ironic, considering the current-day theming of the coaster is The Incredibles, a family of superheroes.
