>>11394140I don't go back and watch too many 60s or 70s movies (a few I have) so I'm doubtful a significant number of people who weren't alive at the time it aired buy DVDs of 40s cartoons. Certainly there are some people who go back and watch stuff that came before, but I'd think it's a smaller, niche group.
Now reruns or syndication is something I can believe. For example the 60s Batman show was still airing on tv in the 80s and 90s in reruns so I watched it. I don't really like it compared to grimdark Batman but some surely did. Not sure if Fleischer was ever in reruns or how long ago that was though.
