This was a Goofy cartoon that ran before the "National Treasure" sequel (remake?) and some of us thought is was hilarious. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1114718/
It's funny for all ages. Also funny for us who think REEL home theater is the way to go. It should also be possible (eventually) to sync this to DVD sound.

If this were to be offered in Super 8 by a reputable distributor, how many of you would buy it?

Was it W/S or Scope, it sounds good to me and if Derann can release it I would buy a copy.

The cartoon is 1.85 It was an anamorphic 35mm print with black bars on the sides (pillarboxed) for theaters.

Hmmm, that doesn't bode well for conversion to Super 8 (thanks for the info, Brad). A flat transfer would be better for sales, as well as picture quality, wouldn't you agree?

This should be available on film:

After all, "Cinema in Miniature" is out on video!

I saw this last night, but it was on the front of "The Game Plan" another Disney movie. I thought it was very good, and in the style of the old Disney GOOFY cartoons, and would sell well if available on 8mm, which would mean a ratio of about 2:1 for the 8mm anamorphic prints.
