While I did not know where this new path of high definition early animation restorations and Blu-ray productions would ultimately lead, I did know one thing all along: this was an important next step in furthering a very long-term goal I’ve always had as an early animation historian and archivist: to not only find more neglected and previously-lost cartoons from the early days, but to do something bigger and better with them than simply watching and keeping them purely for my own personal purposes. The home video collection was met with much support from colleagues and audiences alike.
When the original Cartoon Roots Blu-ray/DVD combo was first released some six years ago, it was an exciting moment for me, personally. In the meantime, however, perhaps you’ll cheer up with some news that the Cartoons On Film release label has a belated holiday gift for you all! Be sure to read all the way to the end, where I’ll also be sharing a few other updates, as well. Here’s hoping that with any luck and proactive change, the year ahead may be at least a slightly better one. First and foremost, I’m wishing all Cartoon Research friends as happy a holiday season as you could possibly be having this year.
