Huh?  I have a blurb from Direct Cinema (business reply card) that
lists the following prices:

   Luxo Junior     USD 14.95
   Red's Dream     USD 19.95
   Tin Toy         USD 24.95
   Knick Knack     USD 24.95
   Luxo Junior + Red's Dream + Tin Toy   USD 49.95

plus shipping and, for poor Europeans like me, a significant extra
charge for PAL conversion.  Anyway, I find these prices still too high
for videos of three minutes duration (or even less).
