Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted July 12, 2023 Hash Fellow Posted July 12, 2023 This is Ted Eshbaugh's 1933 "Wizard of Oz" made in Canada in 1933... in Technicolor!... but not released in that form as Disney had an exclusive license for "3 strip" Technicolor at that time. In view of that license, I'm wondering how Eshbaugh ever got Technicolor equipment to make the cartoon with. I don't know if we ever came across this when we were preparing "Tin Woodman of Oz". I don't recall the brilliant color! This seems to be a modern print struck from original Technicolor elements rather than an old color print. https://www.facebook.com/TheLegacyofOz/videos/655601899809799/ Quote

On Facebook a commenter has said: Quote OK, turns out the Eshbaugh Oz cartoon was a demo produced by Technicolor to sell the process, which Disney bought on sight. Expand So they paid Eschbaugh to make the Technicolor demo but then they dumped him. That sounds like what happened to Anzovin Studios with that "Keekat" project. Quote
