Don’t know if anyone here has seen this but here’s an italian 35mm trailer for the film that I found, granted its not scanned and its recorded off of someone’s camera. Just wanted to post it because it has a bit more footage than the theatrical trailers posted by FT Depot and others. https://youtu.be/WipbOJ0C5bc?si=8jXlpYDffn6SzPXI
I am happy that people are invested enough to make this happen. Now how do I get my hands on one of these is a big question!
Can I still donate?

Not at the moment.
Just another fan who wants to preserve the theatrical versions of the OT.
just an FYI & small update for transparency’s sake, trist still hasn’t received the 35mm print from valeyard (RU.08) [there’s been little in the way of communication] & gave a time-frame of things possibly taking up to 2 years max, but he hasn’t given up on the project

Thank you for this! I’m hearing people are getting a bit antsy, and I can entirely understand why. I promise I’ll give a detailed update very soon, there’s a lot to unpack.
Alrighty you beautiful bastards– it’s time for yet another update. I’m very happy to say that after just ofer a year of zero movement, despite what I said the other day, we will FINALLY be seeing some progress very soon!
First of all, to the mods of that one server on that one app– that was very rude of you, and you need to take a time-out (or let me back in please).
More importantly, my print-holder over in Australia has stated that he will get the print shipped in the next week or two– it turns out he’s had a bit of trouble securing cans to put the cores of film in, but after recently messaging him he’s already ordered a set which is already being shipped to him. He’s said that he’ll send the films out as soon as possible after he gets the cans.
As I have before, I must apologize for the lack of updates– life’s been all over the place, anxiety’s been at an all-time high, and I’ve been trying my best to balance it all (which is why SOME particular individuals in power should show a bit more sympathy perhaps). The fury of being called a grifter pushed me to up my assertiveness, which I’m very happy to say has led to some honest-to-goodness progress.
Stay tuned for more updates– I SAID I’d give them when I had more to say!
Cheers,
Trist
Sounds good, Trist,
I’m looking forward to your updates. Also, best wishes with your health. While some people may not seem understanding, I believe that the majority of people are sympathetic and realize that one’s health—and family for that matter—come first.
Thanks for the update and good luck. 😃
What can you get a Wookiee for (Life Day) Christmas when he already owns a comb?

Will the reels get cleaned or will this get skipped? Seriously though, I’m really happy things are moving along, can’t wait for the thing to get scanned eventually!

Great to hear an update. We totally understand that these things take forever (and forever is 1000x better than never).
I was just wondering, are there any splices in this print whatever they’re minor or major?
Tristan, is there a 2025 update for you to share?
Hey all! Posting my usual update to confirm that this project STILL isn’t dead. We’re hoping the print will be shipped out soon, and doing what we can to get it to that point.
The person holding on to the print shared a portion of what his day-to-day schedule is like, and for the record I can understand why he’s been so busy– there’s been a LOT on his plate! He has a very hectic job and there have been some incidents recently that he’s been putting a crazy amount of time and energy into (without sharing too much).
Rest assured, I have not forgotten and am still committed to doing what I can to work things out. I have a couple of other projects I’m planning going if anyone is interested, including one which I haven’t posted about yet but hopefully will be soon. Stay tuned as always. 😃
Great news everyone– the print has finally been shipped and is on its way to the US for scanning! Stay tuned for further updates! This is not a drill!!!
TristAndShout64 your my favorite deputy! XD

What about Ultrasonic cleaning?

That’s a maybe at this point– because people have been waiting so long, I am prioritizing getting the print scanned and ready to send people as soon as possible. I will have the scanner look things over to see how the condition is, and if cleaning is deemed necessary then we’ll send it to be cleaned.
I realize a portion of money was supposed to go through this, so my apologies for the last-second change of plans! If we don’t end up cleaning the print, I’ll look into possible bonus offerings to put it towards instead.
Is there going to be an open matte version of this scan?

I recall this film was originally animated at 1.66:1 for European theaters. However, by the time the film came out on LaserDisc, John Lasseter wanted to preserve the film by cropping it to his preferred ratio of 1.77:1. To me, that honestly sucks, considering that ever since the LaserDisc release of The Lion King, Disney would preserve their animated films from the originally animated 1.66:1 ratio, and yet Lasseter think showing the film in true 16:9 is really similar to what DreamWorks did to Shrek.
Also, considering that this is a print from Australia, I wonder if it contains a Dolby Digital track on the print, as well as maybe the Roger Rabbit short “Rollercoaster Rabbit”, as with the case on international theatrical releases of the film, including the UK.

Looking at the photos from the Ebay listing, the print contains a Dolby Digital track. I don’t know if Rollercoaster Rabbit’s attached to it or not.

What’s worse is that the laserdisc versions of Toy Story (both CLV and CAV) crop the film in such a weird way. It’s like they cropped the film in a 1.85 aspect ratio, only to crop it again in a 1.77 aspect ratio, so the picture looks a bit more zoomed-in than it should.
Hey Just wanna say that i will gladly chip in a donation for this.
I understand that u closed it for now - but I love The og Toy story and would donate in heartbeat
Crazy this is not out still? If I get time I will just scan it for everyone for free I may have a print of it somewhere either Part 1 or Part 2…
