Update: I’m back working on the restoration after an extended break, I have been a bit busy with school and another project I’m working on, But by the time school is done I’ll have much more free time to work on it.

Keep you posted

Hello! First of all, I want to thank everyone involved for the great work in preserving this big chunck of animated cinema history. Second, I’d like to point out that both Portuguese Tracks on the V2 are really in Brazillian Portuguese - I’d guess one of them comes from TV while the other comes from VHS. There is no European Portuguese dubbing for this movie, and iirc The Lion King was the first movie dubbed in European Portuguese by Disney.

Until and while we wait for the latest version, is there a release that most people are happy with here? If so, could someone please pm me on how/where to get it? Thanks so much. What a wonderful project to work on a full restoration of this movie.

Well, actually Notelu released a slightly updated version of the restoration on archive.org.

It apparently featured raw uncompressed audio for the English and Japanese audio tracks ripped from the Japanese Laserdisc and corrected some errors such as the audio syncing and the labelling of the two Portuguese audio tracks and oh yeah made it Blu-ray compatible.

YoshiKiller2S: Thank you. An interesting place to post unless the powers that be don’t care at this point due to commercial unavailability. Thanks for the pointer.

Update: ok so it’s been a long time and I just wanted to say that we’re still working on it and I think it will be coming out soon, I don’t know when though.

However, I do have some things to tie you guys over.

Here’s a SOTS trailer I got scanned recently https://youtu.be/7DwRhEeAwJ4

And here’s a comparison of the dirt cleanup process https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KM043levdfY

What a great teaser-update 😉

Bill Hunt says Disney has a 4K scan of SOTS but have no plans for it yet.

“FYI, a couple of other bits of interesting information that Chuck passed on to us from last night’s Wexler event: About 100 of the 400 or so classic Disney animated shorts have been scanned in 4K (at Warner) and restored. Also, new 4K restoration work has been done on Disney’s Song of the South to fix certain shots previously out of alignment (because of a faulty camera used during the original photography), though no public release is currently planned. Fascinating”

(I know this story has somewhat groundbreaking info on Star Wars, but I want to keep on topic).

Cool on Disney’s own restoration, even if they don’t plan on releasing it (thus, I hope in the three years since that story came out, more classic Disney shorts restored. I love watching them on Disney+ 😃)

Nice work on the clean-up so far, especially the color.

Cleaning cartoon with RemoveDirt mostly does a good job, but kills details when movement is fast (look at the grindstone beginning at about 1.22). I would try to clean most of the scenes like you did, but exclude such fast movement scenes (or parts of it). Sorry for the critics, just my opinion, and the feeling that the very best is good enough for this kind of film.

Can’t wait to see the final product. Thank you for all the care and time going into this!

Is there a link to an workprint or working render of this? I’d love to take a look if someone can drop me a PM. (Bit confused by “Released” in the thread title because some of the most recent posts make this sound unreleased)

(EDIT) Just trying to bump this up again if anyone has a link, very curious to take a look at this!

So is there a link anyone can send me? I’m just now discovering this thread.

The thread has ‘Released’ in the title as there have been a few releases of various ‘Song Of The South’ projects in this thread since 2006 (there are 4/5 main project releases discussed in the first 15 pages alone).

Though I’ll edit the thread title to reflect there are many projects discussed in here (many of which were released).

Yoshikiller25 and a few others are apparently still working on their project - and hopefully that will be released soon too. 👍
 

Anyone asking for links should likely state which project release they wish to acquire - to help avoid any confusion 😃

Thank you for doing this mighty satisfactual work! I searched for the hebrew audio track you were looking for and I’m not sure if there is one exist, however i have found a hebrew subtitles track and synced the subs to Notlu’s V2 restoration audio. If you need it i’ll send you a copy of the srt file. BTW I just can’t wait to watch V3 of SOTS restoration … is there an estimate when it will be released? What do you have left to do?
