Mutt and Jeff in Kromocolor

[Hutch]

I was just looking at the Mutt & Jeff cartoon "Aroma of the South Seas" redone in the early 30's in a 2 strip cinecolor process called Kromocolor with a sync soundtrack. What other Mutt & Jeff's were redone in Kromocolor? Who did it? Was any other cartoon series presented in this process?

Of the ones we know of, they are mostly available on Ray Pointer's Mutt & Jeff DVD. Off the top of my head, these include WHERE AM I?, GLOBETROTTERS, SLICK SLEUTHS, and WESTWARD WHOA. AROMA OF THE SOUTH SEAS has been available from Steve Stanchfield as he came across a nitrate print.
I don't know of any other series done in KROMOCOLOR.

I think I put it on one of the list only DVDs....I forget what one now....

[Tom Stathes]

Hmm... the one that went with the last Cultoons I believe?

[Jeffitarian]

I believe the cartoon in question appeared on the bonus DVD for those who purchased the 'Little King'/'Cultoons 2' pre-release last year.

[Tom Stathes]

Ah! I think you're right, Jeffitarian. My memory is faltering :-P

Wasn't it available on the CARTOON FANATICS STOCKING STUFER as well?

It was a two-color emulsion process, meaning there was a red emulsion on one side and a blue emulsion on the other on the 35mm prints. These, of course were Nitrate prints in reference to those mentioned on MUTT AND JEFF: THE ORIGINAL ANIMATED ODD COUPLE. The whole story is told on this DVD in case you are interested.

Indeed, if you are interested in these cartoons, I can only highly recommend the MUTT AND JEFF DVD Ray mentions.

Thanks Ray, I placed the order with Inkwell Images earlier today.
