Since nobody has reviewed this print, nor have I turned up other comments here, I'm wondering if anyone owns this one. Or has anyone seen it at a convention? How is it?

Better yet would be if someone who has one to sell would make me a deal I can't refuse.

(A complete new print is beyond my budget at 279 pounds.)

Hello Bill. How are you?
Just to give you an idea about this Derann print you can find some shots I have taken while screening this Disney's Classic right here:

It is a VERY sharp print. It is in the "letterboxed" format of it's original theatrical distribution. The print is in stereo sound and pretty darned good, (that can vary due to sound stripe problems). Extremely fine grain print. Only slight downside is that the color has that slightly bluish cast, but it really isn't distracting. I believe that it can still be purchased brand New from Derann.

By the way, that last segment is one of Disney's greatest pieces of animation ever. Incredibly lovely!

I hope that this helps.

Hi Bill,

I'm agree with Osi.

I have a print of these film, and it's really great to see it.
Great sound, very sharp print, a little blueisch ( how should I write this? ), but absolutely not disturbing.

A great print.

JC

Bill, I totally agree with Osi (hello my friend!!!) and Jean-Christophe.
Look for the trailer too, if you collect them. It's absolutely a two-minutes very enjoyable screening! Simply stunning.
Good luck.

Very nice photos, Gian Luca, and a three-way thank you to you all. Some very helpful information. Doesn't sound like any of you are about to part with a print, however! But maybe one of you would be willing to post a review?
