This was scanned from a 16mm color print. Scanned by the wonderful folks at https://www.youtube.com/ ⁨@KinekoVideo⁩. It only includes the one 5-minute cartoon Monstrous Monster. The film had turned red, but it was correctable. You can see the before and after at our main channel:    • Beany Meets Monstrous Monster Color Grade ...

ABOUT THIS PRESERVATION:
This episode is part of an ongoing preservation project to digitize over 1,000 Time for Beany kinescope episodes before they deteriorate beyond repair. Many of these films are severely degraded, and some are currently being treated at UCLA's film preservation laboratory. Each scan costs approximately $150 and represents a race against time to save this irreplaceable piece of television history.

This channel features exclusive scans made directly from original kinescope negatives - many of which haven't been seen since their original broadcast.
