Long time no see!
I just won a 16mm print of The Brave Little Toaster. This will be scanned in the US at 5K which will be a much higher resolution than the 3.5K scan I had of the 35mm print and this print may have fewer splices and damage which could make it a better source for missing frames and possibly a cleaner scan in general. My final “raw” 35mm release used the PAL DVD to replace splices and missing frames so this will be a much better source!
The cost of the print was 200 EUR and I am still awaiting the shipping cost. This print will be shipped from Germany so the shipping price will likely be quite high.
Anyone interested in helping out please shoot me a private message and I will put down a list of contributors

I wanted to thank all the people pitching in so far. We already almost reached the goal of paying off the entire print’s costs, shipping, and other taxes or fees. Those who have already donated will of course get the scan once it is ready and I will be putting any excess towards scanning costs which will be updated in this thread once the time comes.
I also wanted to say this will likely be the last project I put out on Original Trilogy but I thank all the people who have helped me with my projects on these forums and supported these scans.
