Blocked here as well but I have the film and booklet in the original packaging. It's been watched a couple of times and the colour, as I recall, was pretty good. I bought it off eBay a couple of years ago for £9 including postage.

One of the great 400 ft super 8 releases. A superb collectors item. My copy was printed by Bucks labs, and the color is still very good.

I must be a lucky one. I secured a either fuji or agfa print as it hasn't faded.

this one has always been a puzzler to me. Was this specifically made just for super 8, or was it an episode of "The Wonderful World of Disney" and shortened from the 50 minute TV show and made into it's wonderful 17 minute digest?

If so, a very nice edit (with the ONE exception of the live action footage of the person in a Mickey costume, but fortunately, this is only about 15 or 20 seconds of the digest).

If this was just specifically made by the WDHM division of Disney, then it is absolutely brilliant! [Smile]

In my case, my copy, like many others is the "plastic slipcase" version and it's missing nothing including even that little card where Disney was informing the buyer that some footage included was from Mickey's early days when it was all black and white.

Yes, a GREAT digest!

Thank you Graham for posting this great digest. I have three copies, one "Gold" edition, one "Silver" edition, and one in regular 7X7" packaging. All three reels are identical in content, and all of mine have good color. I remember the Christmas I received a note from Santa Claus stating that this film had been ordered but had not yet arrived. This was back in the day when one might wait 2-3 months for a film to arrive when ordered through the company. I remember ordering "The Super Nanny" (excerpt from Mary Poppins) and receiving letters monthly from Walt Disney Home Movies stating that they were still waiting for their lab to produce copies!
