Hello all,

I have a serious question,i will ask you all to say me how difficult it is to find some titles.
I want to know of there are prints from movies that are new.
I have in my mind Peter Pan the live action movie from 2003,Anastasia the animated movie from Don Bluth,Hercules 1997 Disney and Treasure planet from Disney.
If this titles not are on 16mm i don't have a reason to buy a 16mm projector because i want one but cannot find the right movies.
Please help me with a recent list or something.

Let me know!

Thanks all [Big Grin]

All of those prints films probably exist on 16mm; I think the Swank library in the USA would have added every major Disney/Pixar title up to their final addition, which was 'Cars' in 2006.

However, unless you were willing to go to the expense of hiring the films (and I don't know if you can outside the USA), that wouldn't be a good reason to buy a projector, as your chances of finding any for sale would be very slim. So I'd suggest waiting to see if you can ever buy one first.
