ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
This print appears to be on Eastman stock, mostly Kodak SP. The print underwent ORS Treatment for color restoration, and it has since removed a lot of the red and restored a lot of color. Please review the pictures to see how it is. There is no smell of Vinegar and the toon holds focus throughout. However there is some slight twist and turn to it, so it may need a backwind and some camphor to loosen back up. I'm sure film renew wouldn't hurt either. The film starts somewhat abruptly, but before the main title, so it looks to be missing the opening logo mostly. There is some wear and a few splices towards the beginning, with one minor jump splice. I think there is also a splice near the end. Overall it's in fairly good condition. When projected I didn't notice the line to the left of the image, which appears on pictures of the lightbox. A perfect addition to your show, bid now!
LENGTH:
Complete toon, mounted on a 400' Reel.
