There’s no “speeding up” or “slowing down” of film, it’s shot how it is. You can run the camera slow or fast and get the result that when played at 24fps you get fast or slow motion. Toy Story was rendered frame-by-frame for standard 24fps projection.

Quick question though, I know that when films are in other countries that speak English, the Region code (PAL for example) speeds/ pitches the film up on DVD and VHS. Being that this is an Australian film reel that is being scanned was the same process applied before it was given to Australian theaters or would it be the same speed as a North American reel and the speeding up/ pitching up only happens after the movie is released on DVD/ VHS in English speaking European countries? PAL is the region code for Australia as I found out.

I would think so, yes.

The latter or the former?

Before DVD release or after?

Just donated $15. I saw this movie many times in the theater and these images just feel right for this movie.

Wow, two $15 donations in a day? Thanks you guys! These have pushed us to $630 in total, so we’re staggeringly close to reaching our starter goal. I’ll try and get the remaining costs worked out soon or at least come up with some rough estimate for us to go off of.

Charles Threepio said:

I’ve just donated a dollar towards this scan. It’s not much, but as you said, every little bit counts.

Haha, I appreciate it Charles. We were actually at like $599.44 when you sent your dollar, so you officially put us over the $600 mark. That’s certainly worth something, so thanks a ton!

Goes to show not only how much this film means to so many people but also how much people really want to see this film in its original theatrical presentation and finally see this project come to fruition!

I was just wondering since this was an Australian print, will the final scan include the Buena Vista International logo or will this be cut out?

I am looking forward to donating sometime next week when I get paid. I love this movie to death and seeing it on a vintage format is definitely something for me and I assume everyone else.

Wonderful, that would be greatly appreciated. You’re definitely not the only one who loves this movie and wants to see this project come to fruition. We’re approaching our first monetary goal so any help is appreciated at this point! 😃

I guess it depends if it’s on the print or not. If it is, then it’ll likely be included in the final scan (unless people think we should do otherwise).

Personally I’d like to see it without it (if its included in the scan that is), as the Laserdisc never had the international logo (which may mean the scan might not have it since the laserdisc was a transfer of the film negative).

I’m really looking forward to your results. I just donated $15. 😃

What can you get a Wookiee for (Life Day) Christmas when he already owns a comb?

I just sent a donation $10 to help with the shipping costs and other needed efforts for this project. The few frames shared look great, and I’m looking forward to seeing the finished results of this project! 😃

Oh, Toy Story (1995) in glorious 4K! How can I contain my excitement? I had the privilege of watching a work-in-progress (WIP) version of this film, painstakingly scanned from 35mm. And guess what? They need donations! How delightful, because I definitely want to fund someone’s passion project. But hey, who needs a finished product when you can experience a half-baked version, right? Anyway, if you’re in the mood for some “WIP magic,” check out the link here: https://casinoplinko.com/. Just be sure to bring your sarcasm hat and maybe a pinch of skepticism. Happy “donating”!

what a weird post right?

Yeah, I actually thought it was gonna be a link to the WIP of the movie, which is something I’ve only seen part 3 of on Youtube, this dude’s a scammer probably.

Raise more money! Now that we’ve reached the cost of services (cleaning and scanning) we just need enough money to ship the print around to the various places it needs to go.

I’ll make a proper follow-up post when I have the chance, including a rough estimation of how much more money we’ll need (nothing concrete until we can get canisters and weigh the print). For now, I encourage people to continue donating if they’re interested! 😃

Alright, great! Are there two separate places for cleaning and scanning?

Been a lurker of the OT forums for a few years, but finally decided to act after seeing such an extensive restoration project of my favorite film of all time of which I’ve held a lifelong passion for (and an ungodly amount of toys, merchandise, and artbooks, one of which is signed by John Lasseter). I donated $2.18 (2 1nfinity and ∞) to help preserve Toy Story in its original format for infinity and beyond!
