Abstract: A 25-year-old, color-faded, heavily scratched 35mm Eastmancolor positive work print trim was the only existing preprint for one sequence of the restored special edition of Walt Disney Pictures 1971 feature film Bedknobs and Broomsticks. The objective was to resurrect the degraded color imagery to a 35mm internegative of sufficient integrity so that this sequence could be reasonably integrated with original camera negative. Liquid gate duplication of the master print to a color-corrected internegative yielded an improved element for digital scanning. Electronic image processing permitted further image reconstruction before the data were output as an analog motion picture negative suitable for conventional motion picture laboratory printing.
