I meant no disrespect, or to compare said preservation to the GOUT (what an insult that would be), only to make the point that we shouldn't look at any preservation and think 'eh. good enough. no need to continue'. We should always be pushing to improve said projects as a community simply because Disney HASN'T offered to sell us the film in as good quality as it deserves to be. Again, this isn't to say the 16mm preservation is bad. Far from it, my friend. It is absolutely phenomenal and far better than I thought I would see this film in my life.

Ok, but there's still plenty of other films to worry about. SOTS now has a very acceptable release, there's no rush to do it in 35mm, at least not ahead of all the other Disney movies that really need the treatment.

I absolutely agree. No rush at all. Was just posing an opinion as to the grand scheme of things is all. =P

And if I were to wager my two cents I would say that just about every single Disney film "really needs the treatment". The "restorations" done by Disney are absolutely atrocious and really get on the nerves of a guy like me who is a huge Disney fan and wants to be able to see all the films the way they were created, not the overly restored, reanimated, DNR'd messes that are being released. It would be interesting if a team like TN1 was put together but specializing in restoring and preserving Disney films. Prioritizing which films need it most and going to work to make it so these incredibly important films are not lost in time forever. :P Not that I would do it, simply because I do not have the time, hardware or patience, personally. But it's a nice "what if" situation to think about.
