Perhaps this is one for Thomas Stathes to answer.
Our own Thomas has a print of "The Raven" released on Super 8 (I'm assuming?) and on 2X200ft in two boxes.
For Tjhomas (or whomever) did N.T.A. perhaps also release the two reel Raggedy Ann and Andy two reel Fleischer special?
I had never thought that the Raven was released on Super 8, but now I have hope of perhaps finding this two reel ;late classic by Fleischers.
For informations sake, the Fleischer studio, more known for the Betty Boops and Popeye's also released two other two reel specials, (Besides the three Popeye specials), they were "Raggedy Ann and Andy" and "The Raven". The Raven was based upon the Edgar Allen Poe short story/poem. They took a decidely comical approach, but it was adventuresome to be sure of the Fleischers.
"Raggedy Ann and Andy" was a genuine attempt to recreate the look of the Jhonny Gruelle illustrations of thesew classic characters, and was the better of the two, (in my opinion) of these other two reel specials.
Any info Thomas (or others?)
