The Rainbow Parades, Volume 2 Blu-ray starts shipping next week! Thanks to everyone that helped make this collection possible. The pre-order with bonus still is available until we start shipping . https://t.co/jmLAmkwFn9
@SurreMediaFacts The whole timeline on this particular thing was pretty difficult. The long and the short is that it's Bob's film to do what he wanted with- and even though it's public domain, I honored his wishes and didn't release it for that reason.
@TheMonologist I've heard the story of it airing only once, and it turns out to not be true. It was shown through the campaign and that's how it became famous. Prints were made in 16mm and super 8 in the 70s and early 80s. This copy looks like the one we cleaned up for Blu-ray
@AmarantineHoney@blameitonjorge The film was never lost, really. The story is pretty accurate. I was asked by the creator to not release the film, and honored those wishes, and didn't mention that he asked since he also asked me not to. Still honoring his wishes to not release.
@Felixthecatooc@BlinkyEnjoyer Hi all- Thunderbean/ Steve here. We have four different scans on this one, all in varied condition. This isn't a lost one. I have a few 8mm prints as well, so it exists just fine. Now, if I could only get back that print of 'Felix Fans the Flames' I gave away 22 years ago...
@DanielBuenrost0 Would love for you to do a cover for Thunderbean, my little company that restores classic animation for Blu-ray and broadcast. Sent you a message here in chat!
@Megarad35@bluecat12217 It's a tiny little company that has focused mostly on animation restoration for broadcast, DVD and Blu-ray since 2004. It's in Ann Arbor, Michigan
@GibsHamari@GoldyRiSA@CNschedules Thunderbean spends a ton of time making as good of versions as we can of these old films. They've made a great deal with Thunderbean for a bunch, and let's hope more in the near future.
At Thunderbean, we've learned recently that the scanner place we have films done at is in jeopardy-- so we have a new set available called 'Save the Scanner!', plus we've opened our vault of all the old 'special sets' for a week-and 10% off all! https://t.co/ClKP2J3Ul9
@myhiddenvalue ..and here are deaths, vaccinated vs. unvaccinated. Wherever you stand politically, we shouldn't ever have to argue about that the truth is.
@rarefilmm Thanks much for putting the link Jon! We're tiny & love doing all the things we do- but scans and restoration are expensive! If you're able please support our gofundme for the Rainbow Parades set-it made the goal but all goes to help these projects. https://t.co/4FF2dr0Ky0
@revie_studios@fleischertoons It is our version; we literally just cleaned this up last year. I wont' complain if you do us a favor back and help us replicate the Rainbow Parades, volume 2 set that this film is on.
