Hi Osi,
It could be worth looking out for the French Film Office releases, the majority of their releases were produced on Agfa stock.
I have about thirty five of them, with two of them in scope and they all look as good as the day they were printed.
They also produced some of them with optical sound !
Steve.

Just curious Steve, (not asking to buy), what are the scope releases you have? Curiously, while Walton's releases looked better and we're on low fade Agfa, sadly, they were also edited to an extent, so, it was catch 22, get the full length version from MGM films, but on quick fade Eastman, or get the Walton's with lovely color, but edited.

Hi Osi,
The two scope Tom and Jerrys that I have are Happy Go Ducky and Feedin' the Kiddie, they are both complete from start to finish. All of the Film Office releases seem to be complete no matter what the cartoon is, you can run them side by side with a video and find there is nothing missing.
The only thing that the Film Office did was to remove the MGM trade mark and to replace it with their own, at the same time keeping the soundtrack. All of the soundtracks are original in English.
I did look into this topic some time back, It seems that most of the film company's in France used Agfa stock, it seems logical. With Agfa being produced in Germany, and Germany being down the road from France, it was cheaper than importing Kodak from the U.S.
It's only now with hindsight that this was a good decision.
