** I had previously shared the silent version of this film but was able to add the original soundtrack to this version **

I've recently been working on restoring old films and just finished this one. It's a Super 8 souvenir film from 1974. I came across an unopened copy with the shrink wrap and old price tag intact ($21.95 in 1974; these were not cheap) which was great as it didn't have signs of use, but like most souvenir films it had lost most of its color and was pretty red throughout.

I scanned it on a frame-by-frame Moviestuff Retroscan Mk II scanner, then did a lot of work to restore the color using several different software tools. It's not perfect but after a while you just have to move on to the next film crying out for attention.

Lots of views of things long gone from the Magic Kingdom - the Mickey Mouse Revue, the Skyway, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, the Swan Boats and more - and a great trip back in time to the Vacation Kingdom of the World when everything was still fresh and new.
