Do the same for the 1988 35mm/16mm lpp film reel of Oliver and company as its original opening and closing logo is in widescreen because Oliver is the first animated film by Disney to be fully produced in widescreen (plus recently the theatrical bootleg footage was leaked by Woomy .

I’m guessing that you’re looking for a presentation that includes the 1985 version of the Walt Disney Pictures logo. All that’s needed is to splice that version of the logo into the opening and closing of the most recent release of the film. Unlike most previous releases, the most recent one looks like it was transferred from the original camera negatives, with the only exception being the Walt Disney Pictures logo, which looks like the one from about 1994. At least the audio has also been fixed. This version, which is available on DVD and Blu-Ray is the closest thing to the original release from 1986.

I totally agree, would it be great if we could do a crowdfund or a project so i can donate you the money if you have the 35mm copy with you? This movie is special because its underrated and one of the animation’s best family films. I can see why only few people own a physical 35mm filmstrip copy.
