Subject: Unknown toy from 70's

My brother and I had a red handheld 'movie viewer'. You pressed the button on the front and looked into the viewfinder to watch the movie. The movies were self contained in a round (I think) grayish cartridge that was inserted in the viewer. I specifically remember having Spiderman with the Green Goblin and maybe Heckle & Jeckle. Thank you!

They were called View Master and they're still made to this day.

Thanks for the reply - it wasn't a ViewMaster. This was more of a thin, vertical handheld viewer.

Did a bit of searching and came-up with Pocket Flix. Is this it..?

Never had one of these. I had the one you had to crank and it used rectangular cartridges...
