Just to let everyone know: The scanner got the print on Wednesday and will hopefully be able to scan it soon.

Donors now got a first sample from the scanner. Please check your PMs if you haven’t already.
Here are some screenshots - please note that this won’t be the final grading, it’s just to get a first impression:

The picture looks stunning. So nice to see it with grain and such.

When I decided to compare the Blu-Ray with the sample, I discovered an alteration that seems very puzzling. See for yourself:
No, you’re not seeing things, Disney removed Mufasa’s teeth at one point during “Circle of Life”. Does somebody have the Special Edition DVD so we can confirm that these teeth were removed for the 2002 IMAX re-release?

They also changed this shot of Rafiki and Simba

I Knew This Alteration Way Before You Guys Knew It, I’m Glad Finally You Noticed It. 😊

I know a guy on the Italian forum of Reddit exiles who can convert stuff to 3D, so if I receive a copy, I’d very much love to send the original versions of the altered clips for him to convert to 3D, for those who really enjoy the 3D version (such as myself).

I agree. Film grain and rich photochemical hues create a glorious look and feel that digital images cannot capture or reproduce.

Any Updates on it yet?
Donors got a release just in time for christmas.
But as already mentioned in the thread about “The Little Mermaid” I can’t release them for everyone for certain reasons and I’m not taking further donations right now since all the projects are fully funded and I don’t just want to take money without a certain purpose to use it right now.
Sorry to everyone who didn’t find this in time, but that’s all I can say for now.

On a slightly different topic, does anyone here have the Zulu dub of Lion King ripped straight from a DVD or Blu-Ray?

One of the co-directors stated they weren’t satisfied with the original version because they were in a rush to get the film done. Guess they thought the new versions were better.
Btw any update on this? The Lion King is my favorite animated Disney movie.

That - at least in that generalization - isn’t true, but a statement rather driven by (somewhat understandable) nostalgia and a breeze of voodoo which is especially famous in the audio sector, where any digital step in between is coming right from the devil himself.
I am quite confident that given the right amount of effort (and money), one could take any “oh so glorious look and feel” of a film print, have it scanned with the very best of scanners, sample it at insane rates, bit depth, color space, precision and whatnot and have it reproduced in a similar - way over the top - method and no one would be able to pass a “blind” test (admittedly a term which doesn’t figure in the best way in this case). Same would be true in the audio domain where a lot cheaper equipment would suffice for people to be unable to distinguish the oh so much natural vinyl sound from its PCM (or even lossy encoded) pendant.
Thus, Disney and others fiddling around with the originals is by far rather a political problem than a technical one.

This would include the Frank Wells remembrance, and of course the 1990 Disney logo.
