Not a chance Paul ha ha. I know loads that have many many more haha I am at about 15 now I think, though I have had to double up on a few. Only one or two more I am interested in, so I will continue my searches while ever still on this planet.
I shall leave them all in my Will to you Paul! Lol Left to my gorgeous wife they would all finish up in the bin. This hobby drives her insane!!!

You got 14 more than me mate, that's still a very good collection of the Disney classics, I only purchased my one very recently, and I'm glad I did.

They are addictive Paul, such is their beauty.The vibrancy of their clarity and their beautiful rich colour just leaps off the screen I find.
Just the best negatives from the actual Disney vaults themselves! Of course there was the first that was awful, but Disney themselves realised this and soon sent Derann the very best. After all.. this didn't fit in at all with the Disney way, which of course was to deliver a quality classic product that was impassable by others that tried.
These will never be repeated and like all the top notch prints, they have a collectable value well beyond pound notes while ever they retain their colour. Certainly should last my lifetime, that's for sure.

I am sure Kevin really regrets selling his fabulous Disney features. I think he sold all his 8mm stuff and went to 16mm for a while, but is now trying to rebuild his 8mm collection. I have sold only a handful of films from my collection over the years, and in almost all cases I have come to regret doing so later on.

I know I certainly did some years later. Derann didn't even give you a massive amount in those days anyhow for all what you sold back to them. Trouble was, if you wanted to sell quickly as I did at the time, your options pre internet days of course, were very limited.
With prices going for what we see regularly now on e bay and the likes, it's a miracle dealers manage to get their hands on any sought after prints these days I feel, especially if they are in mint condition.
There are one or two left now that appear to have very slow moving stock on their shelves, so I suppose this only endorses the theory.
