Sound and Picture Restoration of
Little Rabbits' bath
A joyful story for children that has been beloved and cherished throughout many decades. When offered to work on this project devoted team of Locomotive Classics felt a must to full-fill their duty and prepare this piece in the best possible way, so it could be passed on to next generations. The source material was scratched, full of dirt and it flickered throughout the reel, colours were faded. Luckily we had three full reels of film positives available, so we could put this jig saw puzzle together and now animation can continue its journey to children’s hearts.
