I’m currently looking at whether to try and obtain a 16mm print of Destroy All Monsters, which I’ve just started a thread about. What I’m not sure about is whether a print as faded and red as the one up for sale will be salvageable via color correction by expert hobbyists like the OT crowd, or if it would need professional attention. I’m also on the fence about whether to try and get my hands on this myself and seek out other fans who can do something with it, or pass the word along to Criterion, since they now own Destroy All Monsters (as well as Rodan and Monster Zero!) and may or may not be preparing Blu-ray releases of these films, and I know Toho doesn’t keep materials for the US versions on hand, so who knows what kind of elements Criterion has access to through UPA’s successors or whoever they dealt with to get these rights.

I guess what I’m saying is, we might be able to get something done through fan circles, but it might also be worth getting in touch with Criterion to see if these prints would be of any use to them.
