What an astonishing experience, to see these remarkable pictures that I experienced for the first time as a child brought back to their full glory. Imagine the reactions of children today! Because the films now seem as fresh as they did when they were newly made.

I imagine most kids would be bored.

Scorsese always seems to think the older stuff is inherently better or desired by people today.

If you are into animation than old stuff is amazing source of inspiration since they had to overcome rather harsh technical limitation. I loved animation as a teen and old and experimental animation was right down my alley. Obviously not for everyone.

The old Fleischer Superman cartoons were amazing. I watched them a few years ago and was blown away. So I'm looking forward to watching some of these restored shorts once they're available.
