Visit Super8man's how-to page for full instructionsīrowse Fisher-Price movie viewers on eBay Both models turn up frequently on eBay, although prices vary considerably. It requires no batteries, you simply point it at a bright window of lamp and turn the crank. The Fisher-Price Movie viewer was also available in a hand-held version that resembled mom & dad's real Super 8 camera. Loading it into the cartridge is guaranteed to be a fiddly process, and paying careful attention to how the prepackaged film is positioned will definitely make the replacement process easier. Super8man reports that the cartridges come preloaded with about 12 feet of film, but he thinks they'll accommodate up to 50 feet, giving a maximum running time of 3 1/2 minutes at 18 frames per second.īefore it can be loaded, the new film needs to be spliced into a continuous loop. The next step is to carefully pry open one of the old yellow cartridges and replace the film inside with your own Oscar-worthy footage. Super 8 film is still available, and it'll cost about $25 to shoot and process a 50 foot cartridge. Super8man was up to the challenge, and loaded his own Super 8 home movies into the F-P viewer, enabling his kids to manipulate their flickery images on-screen.Ĭonveniently, the viewer is compatible with standard Super 8 film. The only thing cooler than owning one of these would be to have one loaded with your own movies. Its best feature (speaking from personal experience) is that the film is hand-cranked, allowing kids to morph everyday Warner Brothers cartoons into bizarre reverse slow-motion cinematic works of art. It can also project a 10-inch image onto the wall.
The compact plastic film viewer shows silent Super 8 movies on a blurry little screen.
The Fisher-Price Movie Viewer Theater shows just how far kids' entertainment has progressed since 1978.
