This is a broadcast copy of the 1993 animation "The Magic Paintbrush," recorded on ABC. In the early 90s, McDonald's started a series called "McDonald's Family Theater" which encouraged kids to read by ironically placing them in front of the TV for 30min. I know there were a few other shows produced in this McDonald's series and I believe this to be the last feature.

I consider this to be "semi-lost" media. Other copies of "The Magic Paintbrush" exist online, but are either missing the McDonald's bumpers, or are of lower quality and only contain parts of the show. Interestingly, the most complete version online prior to this version had an alternate opening and closing credits compared to this broadcast.

This is a broadcast recording, hence the noise, but I did what I could to clean while preserving the detail. The VHS was capped at 720x480 using a JVC Pro SRV101US. I chose to upload in 4K to prevent any quality reductions from Youtube's compression.
