Every now and then (sadly not often enough) you get a 16mm film with amazing colour,clear loud sound and no lines.
Here's my 45 second Droopy lead-in from the 1960's.It only runs for about 45 seconds but it's fun,I have spliced it on the start of a cartoon film "Aboott & Costello" animated TV episode

Here's the last 2 mins of the A & C animated episode I mentioned - still has a nice picture and sound but turned red!

Hi Clinton,

I am no expert on this so I may be wrong, but I think maybe this Droopy lead-in was done by Filmation in the 1980's (?). I had this same one and a few others, and the stock was LPP, IIRC, and the head of the lab leader had Filmation on it. I sold mine a few months back so I cannot check to be sure...

Either way, it has great color and is a nice intro for the A&C cartoon!

Kind Regards,
Greg

Hi Greg,
I will have a look at the lead film and see what it states,hopefully it is the original complete lead film [Smile]

Clinton thanks for those links.

We never got to see the Droopy tv shows here in the North
East region of Scotland. So this was interesting to me.

I liked the A& C cartoon clip too. [Smile]
