Have all the "lost" Boops been found now? I know there's a copy of "Buzzy Boop" going around.

Hi John,

I own only this as now, but I could get the Buzzy Boop from an italian collector friend of mine during the year.

Now that looks like a splendid print, Andrea. Although I have to interject that Pudgy and the Lost Kitten was hasn't been exactly "lost": The short even aired on TV (http://forums.goldenagecartoons.com/showthread.php?t=5637)in Europe (on French/German channel arte, to be precise, during their "Cartoon Factory" program).
Have prints of Buzzy Boop at the Concert or Honest Love and True ever turned up?

There's a guy in New Jersey who has been selling 16mm prints of Pudgy and the Lost Kitten for years.

Amazing!

I've always known that this was a lost cartoon.
However, a 16mm print will never,never,never (well, hardly ever) look as good as a 35mm one.

True, but who has a 35mm projector in their home? 16mm is the next best thing. A DVD, even when sourced from 35mm material, will never,never,never look as good as a 16mm print.

This is excellent news, Andrea! Thank you for sharing this with us. You hold in your hands a cartoon that the current owners of the Betty Boop library have never seen. Take good care of it. There may next come a time when the current owners lose it yet again.

I'm happy for the interest in this marvellous copy of a "lost" cartoon but, unfortunately, I do not own print.
The print is in the hand of an italian collector friend of mine and he made a VHS copy of it.
The copy was then transferred to DVD, so I could make screenshots of it.
