When Yuba Plays The Rumba On The Tuba | 16mm | 35mm

We recently scanned a handful of 'Screen Songs' for Patreon and we are offering our first featuring 'The Mills Brothers'.

Here's a great spooky Fleischer themed toon! Sadly the live action was removed from this home print but we will work to get better elements from Paramount.

Koko's Big Sale (1929)

Here's a look at a new 16mm scan from one of the later 'Inkwell Imps' without Max Fleischer. The original camera negative for this one has already been restored by our team!
