Just bought from eBay a 16mm black & white Mickey Mouse cartoon "Playful Pluto" (1934). Before I bought I checked it out on YouTube. I clicked and was surprised when it started in Colour. I did eventually find a black & white copy and was able to compare them. The only only difference was that the colour copy had new titles, I further discovered that it was computer colored in 1991.
More Google research found a Forum site which talked about the colorization of the short black & white Disney cartoons, apparently 55 were done.
I attach links to downloads. 1) The black & white copy. 2) The colour copy. 3) The Forum (scroll down to the last item for a list of the 55 films).
1) Playful Pluto 1934 - video Dailymotion
2) Mickey Mouse,Pluto Playful Pluto - YouTube
3) So when did Disney colorize the black and white Mickey Mouse cartoons? (intanibase.com)
