HISTORY:
My "world" is 'the arts' and more specifically, music, artwork and hand crafted/decorated chinaware's.
I am not a film enthusiast but an associate has asked me to find new owners for THEIR large collection of photographic and film items ... this is one of those items.
While the world of 8mm/Super 8mm is not my area of expertise, I am learning fast! and my training in electronics helps too!
Here is another item of commercial film stock, intended for the home market in the 1980's
I always try to be extremely detailed in my descriptions and provide as much information as possible regarding the items I am offering, so here we go ...
WALT DISNEY HOME MOVIES - Super 8 Film
Mickey Mouse - The Band Concert
Catalogue # 801
Released on Super 8 during the period 1965 ~ 1980's
Full Colour
Sound (Mono)
Run time: 8.5 minutes
According to the rear of the cardboard box, this "short" is regarded as one of Disney's finest. I found it enchanting and that troublesome duck certainly provided a lot of comedy at the expense of Mickey Mouse.
Another milestone is that this was Disney's first animated short film cartoon, originally released in 1935
COSMETIC CONDITION:
Very good
Film stock and reel are undamaged, leader is fitted
Outer cardboard case is in very good condition
NO names or other writing on the case
TESTING:
Because I was testing one of the projectors I will eventually be seeking a new home for (ROLLEI P840T), I ran this film through the projector ENTIRELY, from start to finish.
No film damage observed or heard when passing through the projector, nice smooth sailing through the film pathway on the test projector. Film is clear, clean and nice to view and the sound is without problems.
The colour is "good" and certainly not as red/pink as other Super 8mm films I have played, I would describe this film as having a very LIGHT pinkish hue.
Now that I have played this film, I have sealed the complete package in clear plastic to maintain the condition until a new owner is found. It is being stored in a cool, dark, dry area.
