I assume all Blu-Ray copies of Sleeping Beauty are the Lowry 4K scan finished in 2k. Is that that true?
2008 and rather ancient and by this point.
There has been a number of blu ray copies over the years. That is putting it mildly. They keep reissuing older dated transfers.
The technirama version in 4K is what I want to see. With no DNR. HDR grading and all of that.
Checking Blu-ray.com it seems like they’ve just been repacking the 2008 Diamond Edition.
It’s a shame. After the great Cinderella and Snow White 4k releases, they just seemed to have stopped restoring their classics.

Heard rumors of them tackling Alice in Wonderland, though they’re exactly that, rumors.
It’d be nice to see Sleeping Beauty get a proper, non-revisonist restoration after almost 30 years. If Sword in The Stone and The Black Cauldron can get one, so can this someday.

Not a rumor. TCM is screening the new 4K restoration this spring.
Sleeping Beauty is one of my most desired 4K UHD releases (alongside Bambi, Pinocchio and Fantasia). Need to say that large format goodness on an OLED in 4K with Dolby Vision, grain in tact and original color timing.
“Bring my shuttle.”
In regards to The Emperor’s New Groove DVDs. The post says they all use the same master, but from what I’ve heard there was some censorship at some point. There’s a scene where Kuzco throws a rock at Pacha that was later changed to an acorn. Many sources claim it was the 2005 DVD that made the change, but I bought the older 2-Disc DVD and the change was still there. I’ve seen footage of the rock variant, so does that mean it’s on the original single disc DVD?

Never knew about this.
I feel like I remember it being an acorn on the original VHS, but I’m just going off fragile childhood memories.

You know what? I may be wrong. I’ve looked up VHS rips online and it’s still an acorn. It’s possible with the lower quality back then my mind filled in the gap and made me think it was a rock. I don’t know if there are any 35mm film scans to check, but it seems like a collective false memory as I am not the first to bring this up.

Peter Pan and Sword in the Stone as well for me. And Hercules, Tarzan, Atlantis the Lost Empire. Treasure Planet. Only two of those are really classics.
