Been trying to find the rights holder and/or materials for years, but without luck... - David ClassicFlix Founder, Producer

Yes, we are planning to do VOD at some point. Whether it's just streaming (AVOD, SVOD) or includes purchasing (TVOD) remains to be seen. It will likely happen sooner rather than later. - David ClassicFlix Founder, Producer

Not including spending additional hours restoring the rough-looking silents to get them up or near BD quality, authoring BDs is about 50% more expensive and replication is 2.5 to 3x more expensive depending on how many discs are replicated, than DVDs. Logic would dictate that all costs involved...

Check out this RAW SCAN clip we just posted of FAST COMPNAY (1924), the 16th silent short produced in the Our Gang film series. From 35mm film, the material is relatively sharp and will look very nice once our restoration is performed. It is slated for our upcoming second volume. Scans on...

Yes, February 22, 1951 to be exact. Below is a snippet from a newspaper which we had preceding our bonus feature on the Centennial Collection. - David ClassicFlix Founder, Producer

Watching these early silents together, and in their most complete forms, I can see why the series was so popular. And while talent is all around, Farina (Hal Roach's favorite of all) is the biggest treat and always brings a chuckle. - David ClassicFlix Founder, Producer

Check out this "restoration in progress" clip we just posted of FIRE FIGHTERS (1922), the 2nd short in the Our Gang film series. Although scanned from 16mm elements (35mm is not known to exist), it will be, by far, the best presentation available and will be released on Blu-ray. Scans on...

It doesn't work like that. - David ClassicFlix Founder, Producer

I'm an optimist by nature but have learned over the years that it's not a realistic approach when dealing with the majors. - David ClassicFlix Founder, Producer

See post 669 from earlier today.

We've been trying to get something done with Universal for 2 years but we haven't got past first base... - David ClassicFlix Founder, Producer

Backers of the A & C crowdfund likely summer. Wide retail likely fall. - David ClassicFlix Founder, Producer

Check out a clip we just posted of a raw scan from the 1924 Our Gang short BIG BUSINESS. From 35mm, the short will be restored and released on Blu-ray later this year. ENJOY! - David ClassicFlix Founder, Producer

Understood, and we are quite flattered as we get this question a lot on the boards and via email. Given the opportunity we would, of course, jump at the chance, but the opportunity has not presented itself and it is not in the cards. - David ClassicFlix Founder, Producer

Thanks so much for your support and glad you enjoyed the bonus features (and the shorts). Regarding the silents, it was a sneak peek. We have over 40 shorts scanned so far. Most are missing opening title cards, and some are missing intertitles and chunks of the shorts themselves. The silents...

Scheduled to street on Tuesday, November 15th, The Little Rascals - The Complete Collection (Centennial Edition) has indeed started shipping as mentioned above! We've also cut a custom trailer for the release. About the restorations: Each short has been newly scanned from original Hal Roach...

Our scanning and restoring of Our Gang silent shorts continues. Below is a clip from the "haunted house" short Fast Freight (1929). While the intertitles were cut (which we'll restore), it's in relatively good condition and is very sharp. ENJOY! - David ClassicFlix Founder, Producer

No.

KF still own them, but have licensed rights out to another company (a very large one) that doesn't release any classics of their own. - David ClassicFlix Founder, Producer

Yes. We made mention of it in our first "Newsletter" posted today. The elements have their challenges, but they will look great when finally restored. For those films/reels of which only 16mm survives, we are determined to restore and release those as well as they will still be the best...

Our Gang restorations on TCM today! We're in the middle of a project to scan, restore and release on Blu-ray and DVD as many of the 88 Our Gang (Little Rascal) silent film shorts which survive. We've have completed three restorations of the silents which will be included as bonus features in...

Sorry, but Volume 6 likely won't be available until early next year. - David ClassicFlix Founder, Producer
