I have a good number of Disney standard 8mm sound prints, (probably from late sixties or so, as thier later standard 8mm prints were made on poor eastman stock) of the Mickey Donald Goofy cartoons, that are on a stock that only says

"2S"

and nothing more.

They have a truly bright fully saturated color spectrum that has never faded. Who manufactured this brilliant color film?

Hello Osi.
Film stocks marked 1S or 2S are made by Agfa - have a look at the excellent detailed information in the link below and keep for future reference as it is relevant to all cine film gauges with the exception of IB Technicolor which was never used for 8mm / Super 8:
