Buena Vista. 5 reels. Flat/1.85. Technicolor depot.

Attached: Return to Neverland #2. Star Wars Episode #2 teaser. For the Birds (Pixar short).

Enclosed: Harry Potter. Ice Age. ET. Rookie. Snow Dogs. Stuart Little. Jimmy Neutron.

There's a threatening-sounding memo enclosed about how the attached trailers are supposed to play immediately before the feature and without any "intervening material." Presumably, this means that any "feature presentation" tags would go before (!) the trailers.

And, yes, the total running time of the attached and enclosed trailers exceeds 20 minutes.

So does this mean that the attached trailer and short are an additional 20 minutes to the running time, making the whole 96 minutes...or is it actually 116 minutes?

If its the latter, then I have a problem

Ive probably guessed the answer to this myself, but which attached trailer is first: STAR WARS or RETURN TO NEVERLAND?

Of the two attached trailers, Neverland is first.

***Beware of obscene quality tape splice joining attached trailers to reel 1 of the feature. 2 prints I have handled were out of frame and ALL of them were excellent examples of "film splicing done wrong".

***Note to dts users: Disc A is the entire feature. Disc B is nothing other than the attached trailers and THX logos. If you only have one drive in the player functioning, you can present the movie just fine and dandy with only disc A loaded.

This film is EX encoded.

looks like the 'breathing' teaser is in scope. our print jumps up a little bit on the frameline just before the 'breathing' teaser, from the splice.
