That is great news, and I hope we someday find any or all of the missing Chan films.

Also, did any news article state anything about the condition of the film?  As we have discussed before, the missing Chan films were produced on old nitrate film stock, which has a shorter shelf life.  If a missing Chan film is found, it might not be viewable due to deterioration.  It might be interesting to see if the Disney movie is still viewable.

I found a news item at http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/tv/long-lost-walt-disney-film-found-restored-norway-13064

The film was located in 2008 but the Norwegian film archivists couldn't identify the cartoon. It was only recently identified as an "Oswald the Rabbit" Disney cartoon. The film has since been restored and is now in digital form. The video clip shows a technician sticking broken bits of film back onto the main part of a film frame ... well at least it isn't a goo-ey mess.
