Thunderbean Thursday: It’s all Greek (Spanish!) to Me!
One of the films that I scanned recently was a German titled print the Flip the Frog cartoon “Bulloney” with a very cool title card.
Entrenched In Production – and a few things to show!
Here’s something most of you have never seen: the black and white original negs from a frame of Iwerks’ Jack Frost – and both combined as a two-color positive image.
The Little Remaining Pieces of Flip – and Mark’s print of “Coo Coo the Magician”
This particular print contains footage that no other print we’ve found seems to have.

Van Beuren’s Tom and Jerry on the Brain: “Rabid Hunters” (1932)
I really wish there was a collection of pristine 35mm Tom and Jerry somewhere. Heck, I’d take half beat up ones as well!
