Yeah, but who's gonna SCAN it kid, you?

Seriously, that's the rub.  No decent 35mm scanning outfit would touch it with a 10 foot pole. Although at least buying it would keep it from falling into enemy hands.

I know of one that did touch a 35mm print of a cult animated film that is still unavailable on DVD in the U.S. (They actually touched it twice because they had DNR switched on and overcranked on the first pass.) I even saw framegrabs of the results.

Unfortunately, I could not get the name of the outfit from the owner of the print, and I have to respect their decision not to disclose the information.
