Black in every shot I think.


Whoa, I was only showing it as an example (I didn't think color correcting would be practical, not to mention worthwhile). You keep doing all these awesome corrections.

By the way... I noticed some more oddities from the re-cuts. The shots of Zig-Zag charging after Tack, then grabbing Yum-Yum are in ones. Does this mean it was a Williams origin shot or did an animator get away with drawing it better? Also, I noticed that really awful added shot of the Thief at the banana leaves. Ugh. The pullback at the end seems to be in ones (which makes sense since we see the snow/confetti camera test in that test reel), but the close-up for "I love you" is in twos. You probably noticed this, but did you spot the gags in the background while Zig-Zag is showing Mighty One-Eye the map? I spotted one of the One-Eyes holding two female One-Eyes under his arms and they're squirming.

Also, is the Calvert WIP basically everything from Williams (and the other London animators post-takeover - for shots like for "The end") regardless of completeness? Obviously, with the crude storyboards added in for Calvert's version. It also seems like he wanted less to be cut out - as seen by the longer bathtub scene, the Maiden scene, more war machine, and fewer overdubs. One change that never made sense to me is the overdub for Mighty One-Eye. Unless I'm missing something, none of his dialogue was changed or added to, so what gives? Paul Matthews' voice is just demonic... like the rest of the redubbers, Kevin Dorseys' voice is just lame.

ADD:

Wow, I was actually going to suggest that for the shot, but again didn't think it would be worth the trouble. I actually overlaid the Princess DVD that way for a forum signature (so Zig-Zag looked bluer). I'm convinced that the telecine operator for the Japanese DVD transfer decided to take a nap instead of carefully adjusting the image.
