Info & Help: looking for... 35mm or 16mm Preservation for DiC Entertainment Shows?

This is a little thread I thought I’d make.

You see, when DiC created their animations, they’d shoot them on film. However, because they didn’t think to preserve their films, and wanted to keep only the finished tape masters, they’d often junk the reels. This means that only the tape copies remain.

However, a few DiC shows WERE duplicated onto film, possibly using both tape and film masters, for foreign broadcasters, as well as theater screenings of the shows.

DiC would shoot and edit shows on 35mm, sometimes even 16mm. However, to my knowledge, only one of these prints resurfaced, that being the pilot film to The Real Ghostbusters.

The reason I’m making this thread is because I’m looking to try and preserve any surviving prints of the shows, and to have a discussion on them.
