Animation VHS

The DVD format is now considered, by and large, the dominant recording format for home video. However, animation VHS sales are still booming. Whether you are a parent who wants to entertain your child with classic, fun educational videos or a fan of bygone animated TV series, you can still find plenty of superb quality animation VHS recordings.

Classic Disney movies, such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Bambi, and Cinderella, are all available on quality VHS tapes. VHS tapes come in a number of standards, including S-VHS, D-VHS, and compact VHS (otherwise known as VHS-C). Besides standard VHS movies, many animated VHS movies come in collector's editions. For example, the Cinderella Disney Special Platinum Edition, released in 2005, features enhanced picture and sound. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Bambi have also received the "Platinum" or "Limited Edition" treatment.

Other animated Disney movies, such as Peter Pan, Robin Hood, Pinocchio and Pocahontas, can also be found on VHS. They can be found either new or used. In fact, many used animation VHS tapes can be found for a dollar or less.

While you can fast forward, rewind, and pause VHS tapes, you can't skip chapters like you can with animated DVDs. That being said, animation VHS tapes tend to have long shelf lives, and classic "hard to find" VHS tapes sell for many times their market value to collectors.
