You’re kidding! “Much better than the DVD in your opinion”?
(Laughing my bum off)
What exactly was wrong with direct movies from the digital source anyway?
(No offence intended by the way)

The colors/contrast are much more eye pleasing and the grain makes the low res textures and animation look a tad bit less dated compared to the digital version. It really is night and day in terms of the way the film looks actually on film vs how the movie looks rather bland and washed out on digital. Sid’s room, for example, especially shows the difference of the movie on 35mm because of the rich black shadows which can be seen in 35mm clips from behind the scenes documentaries, which seems to be lost in the digital version which brightens the room up a little too much. In my opinion it’s probably the only Pixar film to look way better on film based on the 35mm trailers that can be found on YouTube.

To those who don’t know, someone uploaded a clip from the CAV laserdisc in full 1440p, and I got to say its probably the closest and highest quality bit of footage we’ll get of the original 35mm version of the film before this project gets released!

I think the people behind this are purposely dragging their feet because of the leaks but that’s lame. Imo

nah, Trist is just a very busy dude

Dude’s in college and dealing with personal stuff, I’m sure he’ll be back on the project soon. Also, considering the film reel is in Australia, who knows what’s going on down there?

He’s also got multiple projects going on if I’m not mistaken.

Really? I wasn’t aware of that, unless it’s personal and not on this site.

Hey y’all!

Updating to assure you guys that this project is not dead. I haven’t posted much both because of my own life getting in the way and just because there haven’t been any real updates to give, but Valeyard still has the print and will hopefully be able to send it soon. As someone in his server I can attest that he’s insanely busy, hence why it’s taking him a bit of time, plus this isn’t the only print he has over there that he needs to send out so he’s got quite a bit to take care of.

We’re over a year in since I first posted, so thank you guys for being patient. Hang tight, I promise I’ll let y’all know as soon as more progress has been made.

Yee haw,
~Tristan

gasp WHAT SLANDEROUS REMARKS!!

In all seriousness, I promise this isn’t the case. To be a bit blunt about it at this point I’m like 95% this will end up getting leaked, I’d rather it doesn’t but it’s not really the end of the world for me if it does lmao.

As I said, I’ve just been focused on other things and there haven’t really been any updates to give as I’m waiting on someone else to ship the print. Also, regarding other projects, I do have a couple going but they’re unfortunately private so I won’t be sharing too many details. One of them will be shared publicly though so I’ll likely make a post about that once it’s finished!

Glad to hear that at least you don’t feel the way I feared you might. Thanks for the update!

I just refunded this donation. People, I don’t know where you keep finding links to the PayPal, but please stop sending money without asking first. I’m trying to make it as clear as possible that I’m NOT taking money at the moment, and if you send money for Toy Story then I’m simply going to send it back. I will UPDATE THE FORUM if I’m taking donations again. Thank you.

No worries! Thanks for letting me know, I thought I’d removed all the links from the old thread I’ll scan it over again and make sure I didn’t miss any.

It might be a good idea to remove “Donations Still Needed” from the thread title for the time being.

Oh yeah, thanks for catching that. I’ll remove it!
