Ideas for preservation effort...

1. As a group, we should all call Walt Disney Pictues on May 21 and 25, and advocate for a proper release of the unchanged versions of the trilogy. Phone number here: http://studioservices.go.com/disneystudios/contact.html

2. Kickstarter! Crowdsource money together for a Criterion release! Look at the kickstarter for the Veronica Mars movie!

I'm new.

Just a few ideas!

The above post would probably be better served moved to this thread.

The Veronica Mars movie had to get approval from Warner ahead of time before they could do the kickstarter, anything involving someone else's IP would be the same.

It does.  Try sending a PM to Silverwook, Anchorhead, or Moth3r.

I don't really notice the difference between standard definition movies and HD movies unless the movies are really in bad shape (aside from the black bars on the sides of the screen). I think DVD quality should be good enough for the OOT re-releases. You guys should save your money. If you guys keep demanding more and more re-mastered releases, you'll be spending money to get a 4K resolution version of the OOT released when those tv's become the standard.

I made a slight error. Disney owns the IP since Lucas sold the company off, yet 20th century fox still owns distribution of the 2 sagas. 1,2,3, 5, and 6 until 2020 and 4 indefinitely. THEY are the ones we should call on May 21 and 25. Contact info here:http://www.newscorp.com/management/20film.html I apologize.

We should also contact them regarding the Criterion kickstarter idea.

I'd gladly spend a few thousand dollars on a properly-restored 4K digital copy of the OOT.

"And I'm shocked at you Moth3r for being off-topic, Because if people off-topic you say "stay on-topic, STAY on-topic, STAY ON-TOPIC", and we are not in the Off topic section of OT.com, now are we?" –pat man

Hacock was filmed in 4k resolution as a way to fight of bootleggers. So that could benifit from 4k resolution tv's if that bluray is ever released. Other than that I don't know if many hollywood films were filmed in 4k resolution.

I like this idea- especially doing it on the anniversaries of the film releases.

Would a phone call or snail-mail letter be more effective? (both?)

I've been trying to find a proper mailing address for Disney, but can't find one.

I found a few with a google search and searching through the TOS for Disney.

TOS mail/numbers: 500 South Buena Vista Street, Burbank, CA 91521-7725
(818) 623-3200
(818) 623-3637

Their contact information in the privacy policy adds a mail code:
Disney Interactive
500 South Buena Vista Street
Mail Code 7667
Burbank, CA 91521-7667
United States of America

A google search found mail address:
Disneyland Resort
P.O. Box 3232
1313 S. Harbor Blvd.
Anaheim, CA 92803-3232

Also the numbers in the TOS mentioned that it was for copyright infringement so I don't know if using them for our purposes would get us anywhere.

Thanks for that- I guess the Burbank address would more likely reach the right person; I don't think writing to the resort address would be of much use.

Maybe calling the main switchboard # (818) 560-1000 and asking where to send a letter of the type that we want to send? And I guess then also asking if there is a specific person we should be calling to leave a message on 5/21-5/25.
