Since when does Hulu release videos? You misunderstood (perhaps because my earlier post was not entirely clear). Let me try again: Hulu has been streaming a restored print of THE KID by Criterion for a long time. Is Criterion re-releasing it? Your earlier post said it is coming out in February which seems strange if it is already available on Hulu. I assumed that Criterion had released THE KID before, and that is why it has been on Hulu which has many Criterion restorations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LawrenceA Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Criterion each year on New Year's posts a cartoon that's a preview of the coming year's releases. It's kind of a riddle/game to guess what titles are being depicted. For anyone interested, I'll post the address, or one of the more capable posters can post the picture itself. www.criterion.com/current/posts/3854-happy-new-year 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
