🕑 Added 2022-11-07 20:26:15 +0000 UTCHey folks!
Sorry for the long silence. Don't you think I forgot about you? Nah, don't even think about that!
This last period, is an exciting one for me and my friends I must say. We're doing amazing and unexpected thanks to our researches in some of the most important film archives and private collections of the world, and I can honestly say that there's a lot of meat on the fire!
Plans radically changed in the last period, and I wasn't able to bring you some of the programmed contents, so sorry for that. We had some problems of organization with our working team, and I've also decided to stop (for the moment) some of the upcoming projects due to a possible availability of better film sources for our works.
But the good news, is that we're trying to perfect the work system of the restoration team, which will now be managed by the great friend John Ackerman, with the aim of creating superior quality works in the most professional way possible.
To forgive me, here is a list (albeit partial) of what is about to arrive soon on the channel, and what we plan to scan in 4K from newly identified copies. Here's the list, hope you enjoy it!

LAST BUT NOT LEAST: READ PLEASE!!!
Due to recent events that involves some people that stole links and images from my Patreon channel and started to share them on a certain site, I decided to try an esperiment.
From now on, all the links that give access to special material, will be shared ONLY in private.
When a new content will be made available, you'll see a post about it with the description of the content, and possibly an image of it (an example, the theatrical poster of the short). Below in the description, you'll see the advert "for access to this content, check your private messages". So, in your private conversations, I'll send you the link for have access to the new content. Obviously, you MUST be subscribed to that level to have access to the content.
This is only an experiment for now, but if it works, it will be adopted definitively.
Anyway, what do you think about the list of shorts? Hope that this can be of interest for you folks! If you have any question or request, don't hesitate to leave a comment here or to send a me a private message. Thanks for your attention and as always, stay tuned...this is only the beginning folks!!!

Bit curious: Apparently a B&W print of "Part Time Pal" with the original titles became available on ebay at one point. Any idea where more info might come up?

can't wait for the original theatrical shorts for Tom and Jerry such as Texas tom and Casanova cat and many others.
