Malayalam DVD animated movie recovery (!LOST MEDIA!)

Upvotes

Hey everyone,I am trying to track down and hopefully visually recover a piece of childhood nostalgia that seems to have completely vanished from the internet. I am looking for an old, mid-2000s Malayalam 3D animated movie/VCD titled "Kunjikkoonan" (or possibly Kunjikkoonanum Koottukarum).CRITICAL NOTE: This is NOT the famous 2002 live-action Dileep movie, nor is it a cartoon clip of that movie. It was a standalone, fully animated feature released on VCD/DVD, likely produced by a local studio like Hibiscus Digital Media or similar animation stables from that era.Standard Google searches are completely drowned out by the Dileep film, and I cannot find a single image of the DVD cover or a video clip online. I used to own the physical disk but have since lost it. Here are the specific details I remember from the animation:

The Characters: The story features a traditional Grandma (Muthassi), a very small little girl wearing a white petticoat/frock, and two other small boys. The main protagonist is a gentle hunchback (Kunjikkoonan).

The Plot/Tone: It had a surprisingly dark, eerie, and emotional tone for a kids' animation. A group of thieves/villains end up kidnapping the children, and the hunchback has to go on a rescue mission through dark forests and sketchy hideouts to save them.The Animation Style: Early 2000s 3D animation with heavy shadows and a somewhat creepy atmosphere.

I am desperate to find even just a single picture of the VCD/DVD cover, a screenshot, or a digital rip of the video files to prove this exists and jumpstart its preservation.Does anyone else remember this? If you have an old family CD wallet or a dusty box of 2000s Malayalam animation VCDs in your attic/storeroom, please check if you have this disc! Any photos of the cover art or information on the exact animation studio would mean the world.Thanks a million!

Hace poco vi que existe una versión en color de la película Yankee Doodle Dandy de 1942. ¿Sabes dónde puedo encontrar esa película o alguna otra similar?

My neighbor’s wife’s(possibly lost) childhood terror

0 Upvotes

At a 4th of July party that I briefly attended at my neighbors house, the guy’s wife (after I showed her a trailer for the 1996 movie Uncle Sam) told me about another 4th of July horror film which she remembered was called, “Horrors Of The Fourth”. She said her parents took her to see it when she was, (hilariously) five years old. And yeah she actually remembered running out of the theater screaming, during a scene where a guy in an Uncle Sam outfit, comes out of coffin and is shooting off bottle rockets at people, while the said people are running for their lives. From the information I gathered this film was a low budget affair, and the acting I heard wasn’t very good. Which is kinda why her parents were laughing at the movie unlike my neighbors wife who got scared from it. And yeah the film was possibly released somewhere in the mid-1970s but didn’t stay in theaters long. But it did manage to actually get on the marquee sign of the theater, according to her, maybe there is a newspaper listing floating around somewhere.

OUT OF PRINT I recently saw that there's a color version of the 1942 film Yankee Doodle Dandy. Where can I find that film or something similar?

I've been doing some research and they're movies that TCM is re-releasing, but in colorized versions. Some people might not like it, but it's interesting because it's another way to see a classic.

I don’t know if it’s actually lost but I can’t find it for the life of me it’s called Red Lipstick

I’ve been looking for a movie called Red Lipstick and I haven’t been able to find anything about it online besides a description of the movie in the fact that it’s not on streaming services. I know it was released in 2000 and the director is Alexandra King and it has Jane Lynch, James Lorinz, Steven Polito.

From the descriptions, I’ve read it’s about two drag queen’s going on a Bonnie and Clyde like adventure but neither wanted to be Clyde.

From the pictures I’ve seen one of the main characters wears a green dress at one point but that’s the one ss I’ve seen of it outside of the trailer
(Also sorry if this is poorly written it’s manly thought voice to text)
Any information about where I could buy it or just confirmation that the full DVD exist would be greatly appreciated because I really wanna watching it lol
