Cartoon historian Jerry Beck’s ongoing animation series at The Cinefamily goes CinemaScope as rare and vintage cartoons from the 1950’s are screened in their intended widescreen format, many of which “have not been projected in their original screen ratios since their first release.”

From Jerry’s Cartoon Brew:

“Next Tuesday, at my usual monthly screening at The Silent Movie Theater, I’ll be running a great selection of 1950s cartoons in widescreen CinemaScope. I will be showing rare 35mm and 16mm prints - many in Technicolor. Among the titles being screened will be Ward Kimball’s Toot Whistle Plunk and Boom and the Donald Duck Grand CanyonScope from Disney, Tom & Jerry and Droopy cartoons from MGM, Mr. Magoo and Gerald McBoing Boing from UPA, and a slew of rare Terrytoons, including Flebus, Dinky Duck in It’s A Living, and many others including R.O. Blechman’s Juggler Of Our Lady (narrated by Boris Karloff).”
