Good evening everyone. Recently one of the rare film reels of an underrated animated feature from 1988 by Walt Disney Feature Animation, Oliver & Company is now on eBay. Officially, the film on VHS, DVD, Bluray and Disney+ uses the 1996 rerelease master instead of the original 35mm release. It is unknown why the original 1988 master was not used today.
Probably the higher quality 35mm print remains obscure to this day as only a few copies remain outside of the U.S… For now, the 16mm version is available. For this potential scanning and digitization project. I am making a thread as an open collaborative project to plan a budget in order for the reel to be scanned in full and digitized in mp4 digital video.

For now I have PayPal for donations. If you want me to use other sources like gofundme, patreon or other sources for donation for this project, let me know in the comments. I’d believe this will be a fun project to perform. If for any reason I could not do this project myself, you are welcome to help with the film scanning and digitization.
