Coronet films has a long history of rescuing animated films and making them available for classrooms. believe it or not, the very first "Strawberry shortcake" specials (before there was a actual weekly show) were released as educational films by Coronet Films ...
But the British version of "Coronet" (I forget what the actual name of the company is or was), did the same thing as well. For instance, the classic Christmas cartoon, "The Christmas Visitor" produced by Halas bachelor Animation (the company responsible for the animated feature "Animal farm") was released for classrooms in the UK and from what i have seen of those specific prints, they tended to be printed on low fade, and i have been looking for one of those 16MM mint condition prints, if i could find them ...
I just found that print! It was done by "EFS" Films, and the color quality is much better than the other prints you see on youtube (but there are splices to the print) ...
