Microfiche reader
Portable blackboard

Instigated by my family but always a pleasure to watch, no matter if in Japanese or dubbed in Mandarin or English, with subtitles for the former two.
Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

Not only did I have one of these packs made by Busch in the 1980s (shared with my siblings), but I think I saw it stored somewhere not too long ago...
