Idea & Info: The Brave Little Toaster DVD - Ideas on how to restore?
Time

Having gotten to sit down and look at it properly, wow! It’s dramatically better than the source material. The amount of noise removed is stellar, and entirely appropriate for this sort of movie. The animation is very clean and you can see the pencil lines as such rather than aliasing artifacts. I’d totally believe that this was an official HD release that used the same old master.

There’s still film specks and dirt and things like that, and I don’t know if an automated removal of such things would work well or not.

This is a wonderful release, and something I’ll be glad to have stored on my hard drive, as a big piece of my childhood. When I look over the movie with the question of its original aspect ratio in mind and aware that it had a widescreen form, I can’t help but wonder if it was done with an open matte. That’d be relieving to know.

Big thanks, Octorox.

<strong>The Book Of Boba Fett</strong> (live action series) - a general discussion thread - * <strong>SPOILERS</strong> *

I found the sound effect of that train when it first appears absolutely hilarious. It wasn’t the traditional krayt dragon sound (as heard in the '77/'97 versions of ANH or The Mandalorian), but rather the “krayt dragon” call from Ben Kenobi as heard in the 2011 BluRay. That absolutely ridiculous fucking sound, like someone doing a Michael Jackson impression in the restroom three stalls down.

I take this as a retcon. The OOT version of Ben’s call is indeed a krayt dragon, and the 2011/2019 version is this train.
