Super 8, 200', color and sound,
Greg posted about a 16mm full length release a few days ago. My Super 8 copy is the 200' from Derann. It is a good copy with little wear.
I have never seen the full length feature, so I can't say what we miss in this digest, but I think the digest works really well on its own! It is a cute story, although a sad one too. But even my son who is allergic to sad films didn't mind watch this. The end focuses a lot on the mission of the Donkey on its way to Bethlehem, so we kind of forget about how sad it is that the little boy and the donkey won't see each other again.
As a side note; I always try to watch all my Christmas films, but somehow we always have a lot of other plans and I never see them all. But this year I actually did see ALL my Christmas films, and I really enjoyed it! I noticed how different they are from Pluto's Christmas, through The Mole's and the Christmas Tree to The Small One. But I love them all!
