I think it would be a good idea to consult the director just as a general guidance for this project. I mean heck, I think he’d be down for a fan remaster if no big company wants to handle it! That said, I wouldn’t take his word as gospel, as we all know how directors can screw up their own films by revising them (Star Wars and LoTR for instance). But if we could get an idea of the vision for how it would be screened, and how the color grading is meant to be, it could be a big help for a start.
That’s why Jerry is also bringing the movie’s art director Brian McEntee in on the project.
Wait, are they actually gonna help us with this restoration?
That’s amazing!
I didn’t realise this thread existed when I posted about this scan in the other TBLT thread.
Anyways it’ll be good to finally watch the film in 4K (if it was scanned in 4K)
This first film definitely needs more love, it hasn’t even gotten a Blu-ray release nor a release on Disney+ even though its 2 sequels are on there, although I believe its absence on D+ is due to international rights issues (I think Disney owns only the American rights to the film)
I hope the raw scan files are available sometime soon.
Someone named Venny has scanned a 35mm print of the Brave Little Toaster. Here’s the “City of Light” sequence in glorious 35mm.

Note that this is from a proxy encode from his scanner and the raw scan files have yet to be released.
It’s about time that we finally watch the film in true HD!
Alright I’ve closed donations until I can work something out
I’m new to the world of film preservation btw so sorry about that.
I have found a 35mm print of the film “Cats and Dogs” on eBay
And seeing as this film never got a 4K release, I may as well get it and scan it in 4K.
However there’s a problem, the auction ends in one day and I haven’t got enough money to bid.
If I can set up a fundraiser, donations will be welcome!
