The Weinsteins "liked it so much" that they took the rights with them? Probably almost as dumb as Jake Eberts praising what Miramax did to the film. If the Weinsteins indeed own the film lock, stock and barrel, then we have no hope of the film ever being restored.

But wait a minute...if Don Hahn says that a restoration/reconstruction at *DISNEY* is a "someday" project, then Disney obviously holds some control over the film; Don himself said that they have all the material (film, art, etc.) that Miramax had ended up with.

Hahn being able to even consider such a project possible at all must mean that it must be legally possible for Disney to do its own version.

We can only hope...
