The folks from Animatus Studios have finally compiled three of their funniest cartoon series into one DVD: Journey to ancient Norway with Derf the Viking;
Dance at Club Hippendale's with Su & Mo!; Sing along with Fresh Toones!
Derf the Viking
A hero of gelantinuous proportions, Derf doesn't exactly live up to the standards of the noble race of Vikings.
- The Scent of Valhalla - Following a delicious aroma, Derf is continuously defeated in his attempts to gain entrance to the castle Valhalla.
In the end he is shocked to find a spread far beyond anything he had imagined.
- The Quest for Happy Hour - Ragnorak, the day of judgment is fast approaching and the gods have one last chance to avert doom: They must
make one man happy for one hour. Unfortunately, the the man chosen is Derf the Viking. The world's existence may depend on Derf's unpredictable temperament.
- The Search for the Great White Ale - It is a sad day in Meadville after Derf drinks the town's supply of mead. With the guidance of Loki,
the trickster god, Derf hopes to redeem himself by finding the Fountain of the Great White Ale and returning with its supreme brew.

- Lost in Animation - Su & Mo struggle with analog and digital equipment but eventually finish their existential masterpiece and enter
it in the Tokyo Jokio Film Festival.

- Things - Semore Wantmore accumulates stuff to the detriment of his existence.
- Self-Employed - One person's struggle to break away from the tortures of working for others.
