I’m a little confused about the filmout part of the reproduction process. Why bother printing it onto film if they’re just going to transfer it to video anyway? Would it have made any difference to go straight from workstation to video?
If you’re talking about Snow White, there were several likely reasons - film was still the preferred storage medium, the technology for HD video storage wasn’t yet advanced enough/too expensive, and they had to make a film-out anyway because the restoration was for the 1993 theatrical re-release.
Far as I know, Snow White was the only pre-CAPS Disney film to go through digital cleanup, be put back out to film, and transferred to video again for the home release. I think (correct me if I’m wrong) The Little Mermaid just went through photochemical cleanup for the 1997 re-release, Oliver & Company probably had the same, BATB/TLK only had film-out for IMAX and were ported from the revised computer files for DVD, and nothing else from 1993 on had a theatrical re-release.
