Although not yet in its catalog, Fitzpatrick shared his excitement about <em>The Great Irish Song Book<\/em>, which will be available in March, and Season 10 of <em>Memory Lane<\/em>, a music documentary series featuring footage from the Montreux Jazz Festival.<\/p>\n<p>Monster Entertainment has also updated its selection of animated movies to include <em>Outfoxed!, Jungle Beat 2 \u2013 The Past, <\/em>and <em>3 Little Kungpoo Goats<\/em>, which was produced in Dubai.
