After having seen that "Fall of the House of Usher" print that was done by Red Fox, (had a good sale price), and the note on the auction that it wasn't an "official" release by Red Fox ...

It makes me wonder how many other "one-off" (or only a few prints made) prints Red Fox Films might have made. For instance, I have this "Hoppity Goes to Town" that is on Agfa film stock and is the only full theatrical version that I have ever ran into (running a full six minutes longer), I wonder how many prints were even made by Red Fox films of that title ...

... and what other ones Red Fox might have put out as, perhaps, "test films" (instead of calling them one offs)?

They weren't alone, Derek was famous for the "white box special"
and as they say, every one a gem.

Osi-I had a print of Hoppity back in the early eighties and unfortunately didn't keep it.
