Found this on 16mmfilmtalk.com:

MELODY TIME (1948) - IB TECH - Roy Rogers and Trigger in glorious Technicolor; some thin lines - $250

Anybody interested ?

Thanks for the upload. Is that me or the images looks faded (severe magenta tone) ?

BTW ww12345, I couln't find the Snow White images that you posted on AMPS. Could you re-post the links to them, if possible ?

So, do we have to assume that the Disney film prints that will be sacnned by Poita (pre-Lady & the Tramp) don't have those titles ?

And as to RKO titles, I think it's pointless to create speculative recreations of them. I would only be on board for recreating them if someone had access to a print with the original titles, or at least frame grabs from such a print.

Agreed. No point of recreating without references (even thought Scott MacQueen did it with the Snow White titles, which was a good job by using elements from foreign prints). Speaking of RKO cards, will this be of any interests ?

Ok. Thanks ww1234. Now a question of ethic to all people interested on this Disney gig. If good recreations of the title cards of the firsts disney animated features and shorts (by good I mean more authentic than the poor job Disney has done over the years with some of their releases) were to be done, would you agree with this initiative ? For example, for the prints of Snow White, Pinocchio, Bambi and others released by RKO at first (before the release of Lady and the Tramp), all of the intertitles bearing informations of the original release were changed (sometimes the tilte cards were completely digitally redone or cut) to fit new release informations. Would you agree that we recreate those original title cards for future fan release ?

At least it can't worst than the ones Disney have done for the LD, DVD & BR, which, in some occasions, they're just poor digital recreation that you can immediately see that they were newly done without having see the original (ex: Cinderella) of just a job partially done (Pinocchio with only the RKO logo but the re-release credits).

So, would you agree with that ? Thanks to share your thoughts

Do you know how many of those shorts were produced ? BTW, I just checked AMPS and all I could find is the Pinocchio frames (by you), so I'll keep digging.

Speaking of Pinocchio, is your print a copy of the 1950's re-release (with the original complete RKO opening ?

I'll go check it out, I'didn't see them apparently. Which ones of the Jiminy do you have ?

This might be interesting:

What do you think ?

TServo2049, is this historian/private collector reachable ?

ww12345, is it possible to post some frame captures of your print ?

Ok, thanks for your input on the matter. Let's then enjoy what's avalaible now, which is far much better than the actual Blu ray, anyway. BTW, how's SOTS going ?

Ouch, that's a lot... Maybe it could be possible to ask Harris himself to help in cosing the closer colours, if he want (I'll be surprised if he does, but, who knows, with a good approach). What do you think about that ? On the latter case, your print won't be wasted.

ww1234, you can be dead sure that this is not a version with the right colours. How much do you think could be worth today an authentic first release IB print of this film ?

Yeah, but make sure it's dated before the 1940s (before the secound release, in fact). According to Robert Harris, the colours began to be messed up during that time.

About Snow White's true colors, any other way to get access to the film's original color charts ? Were those informations ever published ?

Take your time. At least, the job will be well done.

The Disney Gereration were axed a while ago because they weren't selling well... They didn't do much for it, anyway...

Enjoy that bummer...

Funny

I can't see it. Ebay is blocking the access to me...

Thanks for the answer

Hi, as I don't have any LD or LD player myself, I was wondering what is the original framerate (fps) of the films on this medium. I know that dvd were mostly 29.97 i/s, but was it the same thing dor LD or were they in 23.97 instead ?

Thanks to answer

Good news, everyone!

Davespeanuts has responded, and it appears that the owner of the 35mm film reel set may be keen on helping you guys out.  Here is his reply:

I tried and cold not get the link to work (the one to originaltrilogy.com I sent through Ebay PM), I do also have a near mint 16mm LPP print.......If you could get me their email that would be cool Beans.....Or have them message me directly.at: trancelucid@verizon.net

Nice. Make sure that Poita & AntcuFaalb knows about this. This could be very good news.

Also, as I just found out, Disney actually started a replacement program for at least the Part of the World/Scuttle error under:

http://www.disneystudi oshelp.com/ContactUs
800-723-4763 (U.S.)
888-877-2843 (Canada)

Would be nice to get the corrected parts of the blu rayif anybody here gets the corrected disc.

Does anybody got it yet ?

I just sent a PM to davespeanuts, the seller of the SONG OF THE SOUTH film reel set.  Hopefully he will reply.. even better we will see the purchaser post a response.

I'm guessing registration is still open to the public for OT.com?

Any news yet ?
