NOTES: One of the Disney seasonโs Touchstone Pictures screenings, knowingly preceded with an intentionally gay Disney film, Steven Clay Hunterโs SparkShort Out. An incredibly well-preserved original release print, although the third reel is the least stable, while the closing reel features the most dust.

NOTES: Screened as part of Be Gay, Do Crime, a series that is exactly what it sounds like, presented with a pre-recorded intro by critic Xuanlin Tham. Was supposed to screen with a pre-recorded intro by another trans critic in April 2020 as part of a series tying into the would-be theatrical release Promising Young Woman, but has been kept away in the archive ever since. And it shows, because the print is sharp, thunderous and in tip-top condition despite a couple of missing frames.

NOTES: Prominent dust and scratches, other than that the picture is crystal clear and there are no discernible faults in playback until the second-to-last reel, in which a few damaged frames are skipped over as the collector explains what he saw and some severe damage is present as the reel is about to end.

NOTES: Aside from a brief fault that occurs when Anna meets โSeanโ under the bridge where her husband died, this is a near-perfectly preserved print.

NOTES: Presented as part of the Disney season with the ingenious (and more visually appealing) Get a Horse. Heavy on dust and vertical wear, but smooth playback until the cut to credits. Presented off-centre, so during the cave rest scene and the fights by the landslide you can see where the sky ends. When the reel changed as the dinosaurs discovered the watering hole, projector A was completely out of focus for several seconds. And no, this only looks very slightly better than it does on a HD digital copy. The composition issues are barely obscured by 35mm film, and the dinosaurs are as difficult to look at as ever.
