Introduced in 1975. Cassettes included Snoopy and other cartoons, The Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman (which features a girl on the box), Star Wars and Alien Terror (the last cassette produced). Kenner produced action figures for all these movies and the Movie Viewer was a way to market these to kids.

The Alien Terror cassette contains clips that span the whole movie. One scene notably missing is the infamous "chestburster" scene—probably not a bad thing considering the box recommends the viewer for "Ages 5 and Up."
