As everyone knows, if you run a colour Universal 8 film and it's not faded, it probably will be before long! However, I've just examined a few of my Universal 8 Animex scope releases and the colour on all, except possibly one, seems fine. I guess these titles were licensed to Animex, who used their own plastic boxes in addition to the Universal sleeves for 400' releases, and I wondered if they might have used different labs and perhaps film stock less prone to fading. Does anyone know? I'd also be interested if anyone could offer some information on the business relationship that Animex had with Universal and MGM. I recall hearing that the Dr Van Tetering (possibly wrong spelling) behaind Animex did it more for love than money. Adrian
