Cienevent 2012

[NicKramer]

I just got back from Cinevent that was held here in Columbus.  This years animation screening was back to regular shorts and it was a mixed of black and white and colors shorts.  Some of the prints shown were presonal copies of Thad himself.  Unfortuantly, Steve wasn't there by the time I left so I didn't get any of his Thunderbean DVDs. 

Other than that, I had a good time.  Here's the lineup:

"What a Life!"- (Iwerks, 1932)

"The Untrained Seal"- (Columbia,1936)

"The Home Guard"- (Terrytoons, 1941)

"Nutty Pine Cabin"- (Lantz, 1942)

"Frankenstein's Cat"- (Terrytoons, 1942, Super Mouse name removed)

"Boogie Wookie Sioux"- (Lantz, 1942)

"Cockatoos For Two"- (Columbia, 1947, Thad's color print)

"Kitty Caddy"- (Columbia, 1947)

"It's Hummer Time"- (Warners, 1950)

"Texas Tom"- (MGM, 1950)

Sorry I missed you! Some of those toons used to be my prints . I got to Cinevent about noon on Saturday...

The Texas Tom was a British IB tech print with the original titles and credits....

One of these years I am going to get up to Cinevent...

Cool!  I am a little curious, how much similar or different are the original credits and that pan to the Ranch which bridges the credits to the shot of Tom Lassoing Jerry? (That small sequence looks like it was redrawn to me)

I have my own original print of TEXAS TOM (not IB Tech, but anscochrome). The original opening title sequence is just a different background pan and a dissolve to the animation of Tom rather than a fade in.

It would be nice if Texas Tom had its original titles restored on the second T&J Golden Collection, but that probably might not happen... unless Steve lends that British IB Tech print to Warners.

BTW, I find it strange that Texas Tom was included on the second Spotlight Collection DVD, despite already being included on the first Spotlight Collection.

Also, I'm guessing the original end title for that cartoon did not have the words "Made in Hollywood, U.S.A." at the bottom, unlike the later 1950's reissue.

OMG, that would be so wonderful if that happened.

[Steve Stanchfield]

That was the plan....until Thad and Stewart McKissick pointed it out, I wasn't aware the print had the original titles! I need to be more of a Tom and Jerry geek....

Just a curiosity: were the original titles for certain T&J cartoons (the ones uncovered on Dave Gerstein's blog) on the first volume of the Golden Collection not included because they were in 16mm rather than 35mm? I've heard that 16mm transfers are a bit weaker if they are restored (kind of like the ten Eastman-faded prints they used).

Interesting.  Thanks Thad!  One of these years I am going to have to attend one/some of your screenings!  You definitely have some very fascinating material!
