That voice you are hearing is the memorable Mel Brandt. He was the "living color" voice of NBC from 1962-75, when the network had the Kaleidoscopic (or "Laramie") Peacock animation. Mel was the announcer of many successful NBC programs such as "The G.E. College Bowl", "The Doctors" and "Saturday Night Live".
I'd guess this print is suffering from some color dye fading from its age, hence the dullness. And a lot of prints of this vintage, most especially "Eastman" film stock (offered by Kodak as a budget brand of film stock in the 50s and 60s, IINM) have had their cyan and yellow dyes fade away almost completely, leading to the notorious red tint (from the magenta dye in the emulsion still holding up over time) that faded Eastman film stock is known to have. This film here still seems to have it's cyan and yellow dyes though, almost looks like this film might be an Ektachrome print (known for its trademark subdued color saturation).

0:11 funny how it sounds like he says "color" the exact same as the NBC announcer in the classic laramie peacock logo

1:39 The "Peter Pan" title card was seen during NBC's live broadcast of the musical starring Mary Martin in 1956.
This film ends in the middle, short of the 3-minute mark.
hmm, it played okay when we checked..
@@avgeeks Looks incomplete, but it looks like it's all ya got, so ok.
But it’s in _color._
Ironically this looks like a 2 color film. The blues and greens are very dull.

Now, you can see bland, sterile and predictable programming in _color._
