The Toy Story change was made before the first DVD release. The original opening never made its way to digital home video, only laserdisc/vhs.
Did they reainmate the movie or restore it because it looks different from the Laserdisc
When they first released it on DVD, they did a fresh transfer from the original files. Most prints before that used the 35mm film print as seen in theaters (including the VHS that I have).
I Have the 2005 DVD which is the one I grew up with and the Laserdisc do you know what’s the difference between the 2005 Special Edition DVD and The Special Edition Blu-Ray by any chance just curious
The 2005 DVD and the Special Edition Blu-ray are very different.
The 2005 is a nearly identical transfer to the original DVD release, which was sourced from the original animation files, unlike the VHS and laserdisc. While the Special Edition Blu-ray is a re-render of the film made for the 3D release in 2009, which had a logo plastering (new Disney castle,) different colors, animation fixes, redone credits, etc.
This applies to both Toy Story 1 & 2. The 2005s are the best presentations of the original 95/99 renders (slightly higher bitrates,) while the Blu-rays are the 09 re-renders.
Hold up right here! What do you mean exactly by “animation fixes” specifically? I’ve reviewed many releases of this movie and haven’t seen a single piece of animation witin the movie redone, even animation goofs and mistakes. I’d like to see some photographic and video evidence of what you mean exactly between the pre-2010 and 2010 releases.
