"Bambi Meets Godzilla" - research help requested for release date

Marv Newland's animated short Bambi Meets Godzilla (which hopefully most of you have seen -- it's only 2 minutes long and can easily be found online) is currently listed by IMDb as a 1974 release, because that is the earliest release year known to IMDb.

However, most reference sources indicate that the film was actually made and first shown in 1969.

I would like to be able to correct the IMDb year for this film, but I don't know if it would be accepted without a reference to a specific place or festival the film was shown in 1969. Does anyone have any suggestions for how to go about fixing this?

Hi gromit82,

If you can provide some sources we'll be happy to take a look and amend the year if appropriate but as a general rule if we cannot confirm the earlier release we will go by the earliest known release date for the title year.

Regards,
Will

Will: I have one lead on a publication that might help prove a 1969 premiere, but I will need to go to a library to find it.

In the meantime, though, I would appreciate it if any of the other contributors here have access to reference sources that could help. I can find a number of sources listing the film as being from 1969, but without a specific place or month and day for the release.

No worries, I'll move this one to "I need to know". If you get the information please reassign it to data issues and I'll take a look.

Will
