ViewMaster

Post by Rachel »

I noticed with interest that there is a Terrahawks ViewMaster thing on Ebay. I had something like that relating to the Disney cartoon The Rescuers, circa 1980. With mine, you could watch the scene where the 2 mice fly on the albatross' back, when you revolved a little mechanism.I wonder how many kids would buy one of those, nowadays, when the complete videos of their films and programmes can be easily purchased?

I imagine younger kids might - it'd be ideal for car trips. Oh no, hang on, Game Boy Advance...! A friend of mine had some sort of torch version of one, like a mini-projector. I think I had a normal viewmaster thing with a set of Black Hole (Disney film) discs...
