Crap?...Are you calling the non-Capra Bell Labs films crap?
Sneer ye, sir, at "It's About Time", "The Alphabet Conspiracy" or the
Chuck Jones "Gateway to the Mind"??
(Just because Rhino orphaned them on VHS, and Image never picked the
non-Capra's up for disk?)

I'll admit, they weren't as good as Capra's "Magic screen" ones, but at
least we got less of Frank's distractingly intelligent-design "God
smiles upon Science" speeches...
