Columbia Pictures Cartoon Classics. RCA/Columbia. $19.95. The eight cartoons in this collection include some of the very best work from the celebrated UPA Studio (United Productions of America). The bold graphics and unusual subjects of "Gerald McBoing-Boing," "Rooty-Toot-Toot," "The Tell-Tale Heart," "Madeline" and "The Unicorn in the Garden" irrevocably changed the look of animation in the United States and Europe during the early '50s. An essential addition to the library of any animation fan, even though many of the transfers were made from faded and/or badly worn prints. Information: (818) 953-7900. *** 1/2
