yooo this so so hype. Donation sent i cant wait to see the results.

does this have the dolby digital 5.1 track to be scanned on it too or will that need to be sourced from a laserdisc for the theatrical mix?

Thank you so much! Glad you’re as excited about it as I am 😁

As far as I can tell the print only has an analogue audio track, so we’ll probably want the laserdisc audio. There was also a DTS laserdisc if we wanted to use that.

the ac3 track on the laserdisc has a good chance of being the theatrical mix(plus ive got it if its needed 😛) dunno much about the dts mix but laserdisc and even most dvd dts mixes were kick ass. so cant hrut to look into it

Nice, I think it’s for sure worth including both. I also know that metahades has reached out to me and offered to provide other language tracks, which I’ll be following up with him on.

The print on the eBay listing does seem to have a Dolby Digital track in between the sprocket holes. But I agree that it would easier to use the laserdisc audio.

Oh yeah, you’re totally right now that I look at it again. Of course as the resident newbie I have no idea where to look for these sorts of things 😛

I imagine it would be easier to just supply the Laserdisc audio assuming there are no differences between the two. Not that I know what scanning a Dolby digital audio track would entail.

I don’t know if this is true, but I’ve heard that when Team Negative 1 were releasing 4K83 (Return of the Jedi), they were able to use the analog stereo track on the print. So it could be possible to extract the analog audio from the print, but I don’t have clue how it’s done. Lol

I think using the DTS laserdisc audio might be the best option.
I just think that using the Dolby Digital or analog tracks would be more authentic. 😊

Hi, I’ve just found out that an original 35mm print of Toy Story has ended up in collector’s hands and is being sold on eBay:

Interesting for sure, but I wouldn’t know the first thing about scanning and restoring a film like this. I wonder if there’s enough interest in the community for such a project. The condition is generally good, except it seems to have shifted pink a little from the pictures.

It would be amazing if someone could get a 4K scan of this print because the original version of the film has been slightly altered over the years.
For example: There are a few shots in the original film that had motion blur in them, like shot of woody waking up and screaming after sid burning his head. Whereas as the version on Disney Plus doesn’t have any.

I found a 35mm print of Toy Story on eBay. All 5 reels. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/185700414684
