This DVD-R collection has likely been mastered from 16mm and/or 8mm reduction prints.
The films are likely accompanied by soundtrack compiled from preexisting recordings.
For reviews of the individual films, see our Between Showers on home video, Fiddlesticks on home video, His Musical Career on home video, and The Wrong Mr. Fox on home video pages.
Probably not a great presentation but, for some of these films, this is the only home video edition of the film we know of.
