I am one of them.

I have a dream to collect all those Tom & Jerry available on super 8mm. It is known there are at least 111 titles on this format. I managed to get around 70 now, still it is far to get complete.

Here is the thread I opened for:

[Catalog] The most complete list of Tom & Jerry on super 8mm

We knew that MGM has only released about 15 titles. Walton Films around 20s, and the rest either Derann, Red Fox, and Film Office.

The three later companies released the film either plain box or generic box. This is not of my interest.

So I was tinkering to make my own cover. These custom made cover is following Walton's style to keep the continuation in my library.

I don't take MGM style because it has two pieces cardboard style which can easily breakdown vs. Walton's envelope style.

So anyone have seen these below covers in the market [Wink]

I will post the end product (three dimension) later.

Have fun...! [Wink]

Wow Winbert those look great. I have or had most of the Tom & Jerry's. There are some I have replaced with 16mm. I am still missing a few but not many. I have been lucky enough to get low fade prints including 2 from MGM/Ken Films.

OOOOOH!

I love seeing those boxes for the CHuck Jones Tom and Jerry's! I idn't know it was Walton Films that released those. I have "Purr Chance to Dream" on super 8 color sound.

Osi, they are just a new creation, a look-a-like Walton releases. Most of them are from Red Fox, Derann, or Film Office. But none of them come with nice artwork but generic boxes. So I re-created for them and now they can sit together nicely with the other Waltons' original.

You know, I am a kinda perfectionist if it is about boxing

Now, this is the end product in 3D so you can justify the quality [Wink]

Front cover

(note: the catalog # TJ41 is only my own number. There is no such numbers. This is for the sake consistency with the original one [Razz]

)

back cover

I even make the back cover with Walton's film information.

full face

Give your feedback please.

cheers,

A very good job, Winbert! I wouldn't have known the difference. Is Walton your favorite company? (as you used the logo from them).
