Probably a bit of a long shot but looking for any of the following cartoons, preferably in good clean condition.

MGM Derann/Red Fox:
BOTTLES
CALICO DRAGON
GARDEN GOPHER - Tex Avery
HEAVENLY PUSS - Tom & Jerry
MOUSE CLEANING - Tom & Jerry

Disney Derann:
BEARLY ASLEEP - Donald, scope
MOTHER GOOSE GOES HOLLYWOOD
NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS
TOOT PLUNK WHISTLE AND BOOM - scope
WILLIE THE OPERATIC WHALE

Will also consider any other rare/unusual cartoons on low-fade stock.

Thanks in advance!

When you find, "Heavenly Puss", boy! Are you in for a treat! It has to be one of the sharpest super 8 prints I have ever ran across for a classic cartoon, Tom and Jerry or otherwise and the color is absolutely GORGEOUS!!!

It really in one of the cartoon releases that really "sets the bar"!

"Bearly Asleep" in scope is also a very sharp print as well.

I was really intrigued when I stumbled upon your review Osi. While the majority of Warner's recent Tom & Jerry HD remasters have come out looking pretty nice, they seem to have dropped the ball on HEAVENLY PUSS. The new HD master looks unusually dark, contrasty and slighly dupey. I'm really curious to see how the Red Fox/Derann Super 8 fares since the neg very likely came from MGM direct. I can't fathom how they can't have superior elements in their vaults if they were able to provide a good enough neg to strike stunning-looking prints 30+ years ago.

(BTW thanks again Osi for the PICNIC PANIC print. Haven't been able to stripe it yet but ran it again last week, pretty stunning quality for an obscure toon)
