Fantasia Special Edition 35mm Restoration 1.0 (released) — Page 4

Is it okay if I can PM the 2010 Swedish (Dolby Digital 5.1, 640 kbps) and Italian (DTS 5.1, 1,509 kbps) dubs to anyone who is interested in hearing if they are good Fantasound 90 recreations?

Until someone gets a hold of the Japanese Blu-ray, either dub (preferably the Italian one if it does have the untampered Fantasound 90 mix) would do good for the main audio (with the LaserDisc being used to patch the dialogue).

Why would you think they have Fantasound 90 recreations? I would think they are the same mix as the 2010 US blu.

Heard it from posts on Blu-ray.com

Hello everyone, Class316 and I are trying to start another Fantasia preservation project! Someone on Ebay is selling a 1990 35mm print. It appears to be in great shape but the price is high and we need your help in funding! Donors will get early access to the scanned reels.

Hydra Spectr is right, I cannot speak for the DTS tracks but all foreign language Dolby Digital tracks on the bluray are the Terry Porter mix.

I own a Nordic release of the 2010 Fantasia, and it comes with Swedish, Finnish, Norwegian, and Danish dubbings— all in 640 kbps Dolby Digital.

Absolutely none of them are the Terry Porter remix. They are a mixdown of the master 7.1 audio track.

Porter’s remix used the surrounds sparingly and only during very specific sections of music, per Stokowski’s scoring notes. In the 2010 Dolby Digital tracks— yes, even the international ones— the surrounds are “on” the entire time. This does not reflect the original Fantasound design. The only internationally dubbed tracks that have the Terry Porter remix are the 2000 DVDs that carried the 1990 restoration, and even then they were always in 2.0 Dolby Surround at 192 kbps.

I beg to differ, while it is not the 2.0 track found on the Laserdisc and the Japanese DVD, the stereo pans synched to the image are there, on the Bluray AC3 Tracks (and also in a disabled english DTS track within the files of the UK Blu, the difference being they are now spread across channels and not within a 2.0 image.
Tocatta Left, Right, Center? Check.
Pans left and right following the dancing Hippo? Check.
Check the waveforms or simply listen to those tracks with a proper surround setup and tell me it is a fold down of the 7.1 track.

Maybe for some weird reason your Nordic release have a fold down of the 7.1 mix but if you want I can provide you with the tracks I am talking about so you can hear for yourself.
