Tommy Stathes, through CartoonsOnFilm, has begun posting raw scans of Rare silents onto his Youtube channel.  Mostly from Out of the Inkwell, and Aesop’s Fables so far, though with more series in the future. Tommy says

We're now posting a wide variety of rare silent and early sound cartoons to YouTube. Enjoy, and please subscribe to the Cartoons On Film channel on YouTube!



Speaking with Tommy myself, he intends to keep consistently scans when possible, saving certain films and the restored copies for sets, though maybe posting clips in the future. Whatever the case may be, I’m excited to see more uploads!

Unfortunately, Tommy's entire channel has been hit with a "copyright" takedown.

Thanks for starting this thread, SCM.

Some more info on why the channel was attacked and temporarily down:

All part of a now year+ long scorched earth campaign from that individual...

And lest it be overlooked, make no mistake: If you support "Fabulous Fleischer Cartoons Restored!", or any of this guy's other initiatives, this is what you are enabling to continue.

Your kindness and most importantly your sobriety on this is most appreciated! If someone like this was not in the mix and gumming up the works with an axe to grind, I think all of our factions would be happily working on so many different great things right now. Greatness without harassment and burned bridges. I'm hoping for better times ahead.

Glad you got your channel back, Tom. I hope that guy doesn't try to pin you on the ground again (pun intended).

Hah! Thank you, Nic. I think once there's no longer any enabling from certain individuals in our circles, the pinning will cease. We have to remain optimistic.
