the sources of this preservation are clear, but there were, I am unsure if still are, debates of this.

I used only one source for each movie. The first movie’s source comes from a 1997 print. seemingly the same master was used for 4K97-4, but I am not sure, the scrathes are similar to 4K97-4 but I am not sure is it the same master.

The second movie: I used a print from 1998. It has colours in the other side of the image, but I am once again not sure why.

The third movie: it has rounded corners, I am not sure why, but some debated it was from 4K97, which it is not from.

I assume this was edited and added in the past few days. A wonderful non-answer that contridicts previous statments.
If you aren’t just using some weird edit of 4k97, then you aren’t making it easy for yourself.
