Shrek - 35MM Restoration (NEW VERSION AVAILABLE VIA PM)

As I’m sure you all know, swazzy recently gave the link to a 35MM print of the original Shrek from 2001 on ebay. I decided to get it myself, since I had already been working on a project to “filmize” the blu-ray. With an original 35MM print, there would be no need to fake the look of film.

Project Goals:

Restore Shrek from an original 35MM print with original Stereo audio
Release On blu-ray with bonus features including restored trailer, making of documentaries, etc.

Project Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7gYGHHzBLg

Thanks everyone! 😃

Looks gorgeous, once my job at a theatre opens I will donate.

I might be able to donate once I get my ducks in a row financially.

I wonder if someone in the community has the Cinema DTS discs to go with this film? It would put an already awesome project to the next step IMO.

The original DVD has a 5.1 track, but theres something I need to check on the sound to the 35MM print to ensure whether or not it’s the original.

Sorry for the late reply paja, here they are.

Note that the one on the top left was opened, just to make sure they were in good shape.

Still accepting donations. Need about 125$. If I don’t get enough, I’ll just pay for it myself and send the reels to the scanner next month.

Hey how much do you need still?

Amazing! Thanks a ton! Eagerly anticipating this one!

Are you going to scan it at a 2K Digital Intermediate or a 4K Digital Intermediate?

nice! can’t wait; i’ve actually never seen this film tbh so i think i’ll wait until the 35mm preservation is up to watch it

Any updates on the project?

Well, I have the money for the scan, but the shipping cost is a little steep at the moment, so I may have to re-open donations for a short time. This time I’d only need about 100. The 200 for the scan is already taken care of.

ok I might be willing to chip in a little bit, also check your PMs I sent you the Shrek Dubs

Hey, any updates?

Sorry for the lack Of updates recently.

I was just about to ship the reels when the quarantine period started. With this Coronavirus thing going on, I’ve decided to wait until after the quarantine ends to ship the reels. I promise this project WILL happen this year, and I’m very sorry for the constant delays. Thank you to everyone who has donated. I will be sure to include a special thanks to every one of you when the project is completed.

Again, I apologize for the delays. Thank you for understanding.

you should scan it quickly by May 18, 2021.
the day where shrek turns 20

There is a 4K Blu-Ray of Shrek coming out soon anyways, plus I think Mango wants to be safe due to Covid which is understandable, so maybe stop trying to rush him to finish this?

Dude Do you not know how stupid you sound, do you not know that we’re are in a global pandemic?? Don’t you know that Mango wants to stay safe and the shipping to scan it will be delayed? Dude you stop being like “We need that scan by now” and “You should scan it by now” Well, why don’t you find a print online, buy it and scan it yourself if you want it that bad.
