I'm looking for UPA sound cartoons. Please let me know if you have any you'd like to sell.

Thanks in advance.

Mark

Be careful Mark, as nearly all of these were printed on varying degrees on non low fade Eastman stock.

The only truly good quality (with decent stock) prints of UPA are two Magoo CINEMASCOPE cartoons (you'll need a lense for them) and they are ....

Magoo Goes Overboard
Magoo Beats the Heat

and, though I've never seen it, also ...

When Magoo Flew

these were released by "Cineavision" and the prints are top notch and though they were printed on Kodak SP and another form of Eastman (not LPP), the color has held up extremely well!

All the other UPA cartoons were released by Columbia Pictures (unless there were some released by others) and these tend to be faded, and grainier than most cartoon prints. Really, not doing justice to these fine films.

Thank you Osi. This is very helpful. I'll keep a look out for the Magoo titles you mention.

Best,
Mark

I generally agree with Osi but I have one question.Was WHEN MAGOO FLEW, which is the first Magoo in Cinemascope,released in scope in 8 mm? I do have a flat copy but I would like a widescreen one. I also have the fourth Gerald Mc Boeing Boeing,GERALD ON PLANET MOO,also a scope film,in a masked,top and bottom,copy from Top Film.

I have only heard that it was also a Cineavision release as well, (referring to "When Magoo Flew"), but since I have never seen a copy myself, and I do not have an official list from back then when Cineavision was open for business, I only have the word of fellow collectors who have mentioned it.

I wish I could be more precise on that.

I have ran into decent copies of "Gerald Mc Boing Boing" and do have a very good color copy of this, but on standard 8mm sound, but having no standard 8mm projector at this time, kind of annoying.

I doubt that there were ever any 8mm releases of these, but I understand that these spots were animated by UPA. As for the one at 5:09, I assume that the telecine operator had to switch the density wheel to manual to avoid subjecting the viewers to wild swings in brightness.
