... and a very beautiful, sharp Derann print!

I'm sure that Andrew is referring to the Countdown clock that Derann (a very big THANK YOU!! to Derann), left at the end of this release ...

... which was a part of it's original theatrical run, as that clock was for the theater goers to get some popcorn before the "Rescuers Down Under" started. I just loved it's 'Old School" quality!!

Indeed Osi!

As you know, the the RDU film is mentioned, then the countdown clock begins.

Put this before RDU it's just like the original theatrical presentation at the cinemas.

Now where is that popcorn.

Pure Walt Disney Magic!! [Smile]

A big thank you Derann but also a big thank you Disney who supplied the negative and could have supplied one (I presume) without the countdown clock. Thankfully they just used the original.

I think that was the beauty with these negatives supplied by Disney to Derann, Graham & Osi.

They all appear to be exactly how you would expect them to be direct from their vaults and completely as original.

Some were however partially cleaned up for the arrival of the first VHS video cassette releases.

But I suppose without those releases for the masses, Derann would never had been granted the official release rights for the film material we still enjoy to this day.

Many have subsequently been far further enhanced by the arrival of DVD and Blu Ray, but no doubt despite the work for the new negs for Snow White etc, these are still as original as we ever likely to see nowadays.

These really are stunningly beautiful Super 8mm prints and even more remarkable when you look at the earliest prints like Snow White and Pinocchio as to just how good these still look alongside even the very best big presentations in this day and age.
