Background

Vidtape, Inc. (also known as Duratape Inc.) was an American distributor of public domain films, TV shows and cartoons. They are known for releasing the Cartoons R Fun series of tapes in 1989. Since Vidtape did not release any other series of tapes at the time, they changed the company name to Cartoons R Fun in 1990. Cartoons R Fun continued releasing tapes through the 1990s. The Vidtape brand was briefly revived in 1999 to release classic short films on VHS. Vidtape changed their name to Videozone in 2000 and went out of business shortly afterward.
