I’ve seen 8mm and Super 8 prints from Castle of the same length marked $2 to about $2.60. This is incredibly cheap compared to the more expensive Castle films. I’ve found that the price tag often found on them has price of 79¢ to $1.15. They were sold in dime stores and other discount outlets. These little films, most of the time only 50 ft long, were the mid 60s through early 70s equivalent to the PD VHS and DVDs that would follow many years later. On the other hand, Carnvival films, located just outside of New York in Lodi, New Jersey, offered 8mm prints of cartoons, westerns and Comedies from any source they found. The prints they made are generally pretty good, often pulled from original negatives to make their print down masters. These ‘legitimate’ releases all featured films that were licensed by Castle from a handful of studios and owners of cartoon properties. They released lots of golden age cartoons from both major studios and many one shots as well. The two ‘bigger’ companies in the golden age of home movie prints were Castle films and Official films. For this of you that collect films, this is probably well worn information- but if not, here’s the first segment of a brief guide to who made what in terms of the home movie versions of the many golden age cartoons. I love collecting the old home movie versions of classic cartoons. The Phantom Planet finished clean up today as well. The other sets are all well in progress, with work picking up again on Flip and Rainbow Parades. I’ve been working this week to get the Little King’s Blu-ray and All Scrappys/ All WB out the door, and other ‘Special’ sets.
