Something that will make your day: here's how the Tom and Jerry title card looks like on an original Technicolor nitrate print, something that I wasn't expecting to see honestly!
Thanks to my great friend Jerico Dvorak for his precious help in locating this rare archival master.
New scans coming soon!
Some of these beautiful shorts have been just scanned from rare and beautiful nitrate prints in great shape! Three of them are in glorious Technicolor, and another one (not seen in these frames) it's a *secret* and rare cartoon from early '30s scanned from a beautiful b&w nitrate print recently acquired from a Swiss collector!
We also have scanned a few rare 16mm b&w prints too: two of them are shown here, the other one is now kept *se...
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: In celebration of the 83rd anniversary of Tom and Jerry, I'm pleased to announce that "Fraidy Cat" will soon see a new 4K restoration from Technicolor sources!
The works are starting, and the work will be carried out by aprofessional restoration team, with whom we're starting a collaboration. The team will also be working on other shorts over time, so hopefully this is just the start of something big.
Are you happy with the news? What other Tom and Jerry...
Some foreign Popeyes' nitrates for your pleasure!

This is only one of several new contents that the 2023 will brings you Patrons during this year! We're working to get most of the T&Js cartoons scanned, and my idea is to get scanned at least one 35mm IB Tech print per short. Luckily, we're getting scanned (som...
