I have a reasonable print of this film but being an MGM release copy the colour appears to be fading. Can anyone tell me if later prints of this title had a sharper image with better colour?

I´ve got two copies on Super 8 and 16mm. Both are great, with sharp picture and stunning colour.

Tom, I have an MGM print since the 1970s and the colors are still great. Maybe the one you have wasn't stored correctly. Hmmm...very interesting...the box says MGM Super 8 P.O. Box 296, Bogota, New Jersey(N.J.) 07603; and the original leader says Neg.#4 (F.C.L.) Ken Films. No other info but I didn't check the tail. [Confused]

I have a Derann print,and it has a fairly good appearance.
The colors are good, but it needs some sharpening.
I purchased this about 10 years ago.

However I also have a 16mm LPP, low fade and it's super sharp
and saturated with vivid color.

I have a French "Film Office" super 8 print of this title and it is superb. Great sharpness and saturated colours.

I bought a Film Office print of this at the Big Screen Scene Revival today off Ian, it is on Agfa stock and has good colours, so I am very pleased.

I'm intrigued by the Film Office print as I have a Derann print from back in the day (circa 1992) which although on LLP is rather soft and with muted colours.

Still, it isn't faded, so when I screen it each Christmas, you just forget that and just enjoy it... [Smile]

My MGM print has slightly muted colour, perhaps its the start of fading. My Derann print print is beautiful.

Walton Films has also this title and mine is stikk with perfect color.

I believe this is one of the latest release as the art work is different with most of Walton's

Too bad the Walton issues were edited by about 30 seconds or so. If you play them side-by-side you can see where the edits occur. On some it's hard to determine being that it's not full deletions, but a piece here and piece there.

Some even had as much as a minute taken out of them. I think that the worst "edited" Tom and Jerry is "Cat Concerto", which, while it has EXCELLENT picture quality is a terrible edit!
