I know this is a somewhat older thread, but can someone explain to me what is the obsession with having a digitally-created movie on 35MM? For older titles that were shot on film, I totally get it, but if it was digital to begin with, why the need to recreate the film feel, if that was never the intent in the first place? The Blu-Ray does a great job of showing the film as it was originally created, the only reason it was ever printed onto film for theaters back in 2004 was because of necessity. I’m not trying to down this project or anything, I’m just genuinely curious about why it matters so much.
It was never the intent to show The SpongeBob Movie on film in a theater? Pretty sure that’s why they made The SpongeBob Movie in the first place buddy
It is because this project is intended to show people how The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie how it looked back in 2004. On the 35mm prints and trailers, the colors were noticably different compared to the Blu-Ray, and the live action sequences were retimed for later home media releases, simply because the Blu-Ray and DVD releases were digitally transferred. Kind of like Toy Story when it first came out on 35mm and VHS.
