One of my favorite little gizmos is on the fritz - time to do a little repair video and some about the interesting history of these cool film loop toys. Enjoy!

i own one when i was young its called pocket flix its the red long one
made in 1978
This is not a simple toy, this requires assembly and takes time and more people working on it. Today, the few toy industries that still exist just want to make simple toys that put the plastic material in the machine and the toy comes out done the other end. Children today, who cares!
Cool I just found one of these on eBay for $20. Marilyn Monroe and Scooby Doo. I do shoot Super8, 8mm and 16mm movie film and would like to see if I can replace with some of my movies.
I have mini movi but its not working now still in the cupboard
I to have many projector
We have this 8mm mini movie viewers, but there is something wrong with the film transport. The movi viewers seems to work properly, but the pin does not make the film move in any way. We have tried different cassettes, but no luck. Any thoughts?
Dang..this brought back some amazing childhood memories..Here in Mumbai, the Apollo Mini Movi was available briefly in the late 80s..I had the Heckle and Jeckle cartridge..But i remember my friends had Mighty Mouse, Bruce Lee cartoon & Spiderman cartoon..The cartridges were quite expensive and the metal pin that moved the reel would get stuck so often..Was not designed too well..I have a feeling the ones sold here were 'Chinese made' duplicates
I remember seeing something like that back in the 70s. It used a loop type cart. In also had one of those fisher price viewers. I took the film out and put it on a reel.
Galoob made them in the 80’s and they were called “Sneak Previews”. You could get Spider-man, Superman, Knight Rider, Punky Brewster, etc cartridges for them. My brother had one and about a dozen cartridges. Used to keep him busy during car rides.😀📽
I had one of those as a kid. Circa 1989
wonderfull
where to buy that cool toy?
where to order? buy this toy from where?
Did you ever upload the projector video or the archived old movies? I seem to be overlooking it if you did.
