I just ran for the kids (OK this big kid too!) Goofy's Golden Gags Vol 1 last night. Colour is still good. The receipt in the box says bought 27 Dec 1978.
I love the 200ft Disney cartoons, especially classics like The Old Mill and Mickeys Trailer, but these are great value and as Winbert says, you don't have get up and rethread or splice them together.
I remember Mickeys First 50 Years well, often spying it in shopfronts with that silver cover..... and not being able to afford it. The Disney 400 footers were several dollars more expensive here than other studios in the late 1970's/early 1980's. From memory they were AUS$66.00 and the others (Columbia, Ken, MGM, etc) were all AUS$59.00 for colour sound.

Yes Winbert,
Goofy over Sports was a 400ft. release. My copy is starting to fade, (bad Eastman) but it still has most of it's colour. A good collection. The interesting thing about it, is that, though it has 5 different films in it, (I think that one of them only runs about a two minute clip), it has nearly the full length version of "Olympic Goofy" (or whatever the title was)
Also, included is a short clip from the classic "How to Ski", very funny, but I edited that one out and just added the whole original "How to Ski" cartoon, which makes it a completely full 21 minute reel!
