Ok, I've come up against a bit of a wall already. I bought a VHS from the 80's or 90's of the Sleepy Hollow segment of this film to obtain the credits sequence and unfortunately the quality is absolute garbage.

Back in '58 Disney seperated the 2 short films and made a new credit intro sequence for the Sleepy Hollow portion of the film, and it is THIS opening credit sequence I wish to incorporate into my restoration. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to exist anywhere save for old VHS copies released between the early 80's and the late 90's, and buying VHS copy after VHS copy looking for a better quality image is gonna be a bit of a gamble.

SO...I'm putting out a call for anyone who might have had their transfered to a more reliable form of media EARLY IN THE LIFE of their VHS tape, OR (and I dont know if this even exists) if anyone has this on laserdisc.

As far as I know, this has never been released on DVD, the only DVD that exists is the full film with the 1949 credit sequence that mentions BOTH films (and is NOT what I want). The opening credits that I am looking for look like this:

Please let me know of any leads on this. Thanks.

 

EDIT: Alright, this apparently DOES exist on laserdisc, now does anyone have access to a copy or am I gonna have to go out and buy one? Additionally, is there anybody out there equipped enough to be able to transfer a laserdisc movie into a digital file for me?
