I think CN should ask WB for a restored copy of Along Flirtation Walk. The colors in that cartoon are faded.

[Thad Komorowski]

Yeah, but wasn't "Along Flirtation Walk" done in Cinecolor, so the colors are fading in the prints?

Actually, the color is great for THAT cartoon.

It was filmed in the two-strip Technicolor process, so it only had red and green for color.

Of course, it could use a real restoration.

"Toyland Broadcast" was shown as only 5 minutes long. I'm sure it was much longer originally. That is an edit that takes too much out of the cartoon.

[Thad Komorowski]

"Toyland Broadcast" is actually at least around 8 minutes in length. What CN cut out are scenes with black stereotypes.
