I just made an account to follow this project. I never watched this movie growing up but my wife did, she says “it’s good, but not my favourite”. Well, we tried to find it on Disney Minus and that led me down a rabbithole of the sad history of this , mishandled, underappreciated movie. Now I’m obsessed, and just watching the movie won’t be enough, i need to see the best possible version just to spit in Disney’s face.

This is the project I am waiting for.

… i need to see the best possible version…

The two versions on this site, they’re likely both as done as they’ll be. I believe the 35mm one hit some rights issues so its version on YT is probably as final as that one would be because getting slammed with a C&D likely took a lot of wind out of that restorer’s sails. However, you can contact that restorer to learn…

This version here in this thread, I’m biased (I’m the one who manually cleaned up over 2000 frames of print damage from this version), but I think it looks and sounds great. If you want to see this version, PM Octorox. You can find his posts in the previous pages. The detailed info on Venny’s 35mm version is of course in the thread that GregZ just provided a link for.

These are two different-looking “end results” that I think cover most bases of what someone would prefer to see at this point in time where there is still no HD disc release.

LightWave = fun times with gfx for me 😃

Yeah I was lurking that thread and didn’t catch the video before it was removed, even tried VPNs. Thanks for the headsup
