A local movie theatre went out of business and their films made it to a local antique dealer, junk collector. I was able to snatch two reels, one 14 inch and one 13 inch? just a little smaller reels of 16mm cartoons both in a 15 inch 35mm can.
Puddy the Pup, Home Wanted
Village Smitty,
SimpleSimon,
Summertime,
Kiko Kangroo On the Scent,
All American Mickey (mouse)
That is on the bigger reel

Oswald Rabbit, Fun House
Andy Panda, Meatless Tuesday,
Rabbit, soft Ball Game,
Run Away Choo - Choo
Andy, Crazy House

Those are on the smaller reel.

Besides those I have Sinbad the Sailor, Popeye, B&W as are, I think, all the above.

Do you like Golf Films?

You may want to check on the value of one or two of those films. Oswald the Rabbit is very early Walt Disney from his Kansas City days. This is the character that is debated in cartoon history as being the seed for Bugs Bunny. The story goes that Disney had a contract with a film company to produce Oswald. Walter Lanz was working for Disney at the time and somehow was able to pull the contract away from Disney and signed the deal in his name. Disney was out of the picture. On his way back from New York, on the train, Disney created Mickey Mouse. If you look at the two characters they are close in design, at least for early Mickey. What happen to Walter Lance? He went to Warner Brothers and had a hand in their animation department. Walter Lance is best known for creating Woody Woodpecker.
