Oh my...
Same stock, no doubt [Roll Eyes]

Did you ask Derann the reason for this, Larry?

At the time, which was about 8 years ago, it never bothered me, so I never complained.

Looks to me like either a) an old copy (not on LPP or AGFA stock) that has faded, or b) a lab defect. Either way, it's awful and I'm sure they will replace it and give you a new print...

Miguel,

What was the outcome with this print and Derann?

"I'm sure they will replace it and give you a new print..."

In view of the current lab situation, any replacements at the moment will depend on there being another print in stock, as Derann wouldn't tend to have much in the way of stocks of features.

Sorry for the long silence. I have been very busy lately.

Well, when Gary received and saw it he answered that they "acknowledge that the copy is not perfect" (a very diplomatic answer, if you ask me).

Anyway as it was the last copy he offered a full refund or to buy it for 150 pounds. As the price seemed a bit high and anyway I was not going to be happy with the pink copy, I choose the full refund.

In the next month listing I saw it listed as A quality, slight (!) pink cast, for 99 pounds. Now it disappeared. I hope the buyer is not angry because of the description...

Anyway, for me it is solved and Gary was so kind to refund me also the shipping, although I did not recover it because of the (high!) fees of the bank who did the exchange of divise...

So it seems the end of the story for Bambi, until I find a good second hand copy. Thank you a lot for all your help.

EDIT: I forgot it, I asked Gary why he thought it was so pink, and he answered me just that "The answer is I do not know, although this was one of the very last Disney films to be printed"
(I hope Gary will not get angry because publishing his answer here...)

Now I have a very annoying problem with another purchase, but I am going to open a new topic to keep things separate.

Thanks for telling us, Miguel.
And good luck (hope you will find soon a used copy).
Ciao.

Much as I enjoy viewing and collecting 8mm, I can't think of any other hobby that has caused me so many annoying experiences! I guess it's something we learn to live with, but I sometimes envy guys who always seem happy with everything they buy and don't even appear to notice major flaws!
