Info Wanted: a Fan Restoration of the uncut 'who framed roger rabbit' - using the new remastered dvd and the 1988 laserdisc - has one ever been done?

Just curious is all.

I know there was an xvid by some flair guy but i don’t have a membership to rapidshare aka rapishit.

I’ve read that was a low quality xvid when someone probably could produce a dvd quality version using all the available footage.

what was missing?

i have it on laserdisc and dvd...i checked out wikipedia...and

it does look like a few scenes are missing, was it anything major?

Not much was changed except for a few frames of nudity of Jessica Rabbit the studio had to go and pull a disney and censor.

If you count the censored version and the repainted version on dvd there are three versions of that scene alone.

I won't lose sleep over it, but like the censoring done sometimes on the tex avery cartoons i find it retarded.

Next thing you know disney will release a heavily censored and politically correct song of the south if at all.

I have the FLAiR Xvid. The quality is not bad, but I seem to recall there were some IVTC artefacts noticeable in the opening cartoon sequence. There was talk of someone on here doing a DVD version but I don't know if it ever happened.

So you are suggesting that someone should take the video ripped from DVD, and insert the uncensored frames from the laserdisc? How would you know which frames to replace, is there a definitive list somewhere, or would you have to go through the entire film frame-by-frame?

Also, when played back at normal speed, would you actually notice the insertions?

i'm curious also, i really liked the movie , and saw it opening day..

so i was happy to have it on laserdisc, and then on dvd..

i would never have noticed anything missing, until you mentioned

it, and even now, i really can't tell the difference???

The funny thing is the media didn't pick up on it until several years after the LD came out!

Another item that was changed was Baby Herman's rude hand gesture as he looks up the skirt of his girlfriend.

Frankly, between WFRR and the shorts (which I recall were also edited), the logical answer is to create an Extras disc with slowed down footage, stills and/or whatever.

Otherwise you're swapping out a couple frames that went by so fast for years that no one ever knew they were there. You'd need to be a hummingbird to ever see them.

I'm a purist (see my Little Mermaid DVD...), but I never felt this to be an unreasonable/drastic change.

Besides, this is not another case of Disney edit a movie after the fact for whatever lame reason.  They fixed what pretty much amounted to intentional vandilsm of the film by pervy animators who wanted something to brag about to their friends.

It is not an alteration of the original intent of the film's creative team.

yeah,

i'm with doctor m...................if you want the laserdisc version, it's cheap enough

(i would think)...to get..........and not worth 'recreating'......

sounds like minor details...
