Heyo,

Looking for either or both Bedknobs and Broomsticks 200' digests.
Color and sound please.

Match of the Century or the other one where they're underwater?

Shipped prices to 91423.

Independent 8 has a slew of them, but don't really want to pay shipping if someone here has a deal.

Thanks!
Kirk

The second excerpt is The Beautiful Briny.

You may want to get it from Independent 8 as there is a better chance of a good color copy. Just ask anyway. His shipping rates are not that bad. I would rather pay a little extra for good color than receive a faded copy.

Thanks! I think I might just give an email over to independent 8. I just think these would be so much fun to show!

Best!

Larry's not kidding about that ...

In the UK, they printed quite a few of thier Disney Digests on either FUJI film stock or AGFA, and these digests have held up perfectly! I gave up trying to find good prints of the Disney digests in the US, as they used either Eastman or Kodak SP, and both of these film stocks have largely faded to varying degrees of pink or brown.

This is also true of the 400ft digests. My library of the Dinsey 400ft cartoon compilations are now all on those two film stocks and yep, all from the UK. I believe that the UK film lab was BUCK FILMS.

And while we're on the subject -- I'm still looking for the Bedknobs and Broomsticks feature released in Italy if anyone has one for sale...

Just won a Bedknobs feature on Italian Ebay. I am so happy after a successful end to a multi-year search - can't wait to get it and re-record it into stereo.

PS: It's a reminder to always look on the international Ebay sites - you never know what you will find!

Congratulations Brian!

I hope that the print has decent color. I have seen a print of this Italian feature and the one I saw was faded, about 50 percent, hopefully, your print will fare better!
