Shouldn’t there be an Entr’Acte slide as well?

I’d hope! If someone actually gets to sell off one of those prints, that… would be… the tits.

This Roadshow version interests me immensely… were the extended scenes included in the Blu-ray? Come to think of it, what source are you using? Something tells me it’s the UHD version. I wonder if that’s the correct aspect ratio?

You are correct, of course. If this were actually the roadshow version, we’d be having a different conversation. For now, I’ll put all my efforts towards Alice.

It does look dark on my monitor, but I’m inclined to believe it. Papai has a point too, it may be that the print is so coloured to compensate for the lamp projection. Might be worth looking into.

Can someone let me know what shots had their colours altered on the Blu-ray?

By the way, can someone let me know what shots had their colours altered on the Blu-ray?

Original restoration? Does that mean the glass reflections in the Well are untouched, or…?

Oh? Under the same circumstances?

I know he said that, I read it in John Culhane’s book on the film. Hmm… again, I’ll have to ask someone who’s seen it in 1956. If anyone knows that someone, let me know what they say.

As far as the live action segments go…

Maybe I’ll release a version with widescreen and one without. Then maybe someone can make a seamless-branching BD out of it or something, I dunno.

Alright, so Corey Burton’s impression of Deems Taylor isn’t… too bad. Honestly, it’s all we have, at least at this point. Still - a vocal artist voicing a real person, does anyone else do that?..

As a matter of fact, there is more image information in this print than is seen on the Blu-ray - as can be proven by this image: the print with the BD overlayed on top.

Though that’s probably a given.

Did you get it to line up properly on both sides?

That’s some seriously fantastic stuff, one69chev! What did you print the posters and leaflets on?

Are you telling me this print is zoomed and cropped?

Alright, it looks… well, I’ve shrunk the frame to its intended size, and it looks like this:

So… um… I’m not entirely sure where to go with this now! Do I render the whole thing in 4:3 with the curtain effect untouched, or…?

Well, the frame opens and closes to and from the full frame to the centre, so some sort of squeeze lens was used… I’ll have to confer with those who have seen the 1956 print.

After some investigation, I have concluded that this print is indeed the '56 General Release Version. I am considering a release in the SuperScope format, even though it’ll make everything short and fat, as it were.

Saying that, however, I do know a guy who’s working on restoring the roadshow version in HD. I don’t know where he’s going to find the missing audio, but we might be able to help him out a bit.

Of the Fantasia video releases, how are the transitions from live action to animation handled? On the print I have, the frame opens and closes accordingly in relation to the proposed widescreen projection. The fades will likely have been digitally altered. Am I correct?

Antovolk? Have we met before?

Just chiming in to say that the Arrow “White Box” Blu-rays with the Reversible sleeves has updated njvc options. It does mean I have to up the certificates to 15, since the latest BDs have the Family Guy Trilogy on them. In turn, it’s kind of a call-back to the original Episode I DVD release, where the film itself was rated U, but the special features bumped the DVD rating up to PG.

Well if it’s an upscale, what’s the point?

Aw man… I have his autograph you know… now I’m miserable.
