I had one of these as a kid. (mid to early 80’s) It had super 8 film on a small see though plastic drum which was a loop. it had a reel of batman superman etc etc.. all “cartoons” all silent.. years later i broke open the canisters and run em on a prjector !!!
so they were made untill the mid 80’s at least
