I won a lot of Japanese laserdiscs on eBay pretty recently. Among them was a title I was unfamiliar with called "Cynical Hysterie Hour."
All I really know about it is that it's a collection of short films (I'd describe them as being kind of Peanuts-esque) with a soundtrack by avant-garde musician John Zorn.
Apparently the soundtrack album was once considered highly collectible by Zorn fans, but I can't find any info about the laserdisc.

Does anyone know anything about this? The shorts are widescreen, so I assume they were designed to be shown theatrically. I don't suppose anyone knows what they were shown with.
Any light anyone can shine on this little series would be appreciated!

We actually have Encyclopedia entries for this series of shorts (see here for a link to the first one) but not a whole lot of information about them; just when they were made, the principal staff (complete?) behind them, and one studio involved in production.

I suspect that what you have may be a very rare find. Whether or not it's worth anything is another story.
