FAN EDIT REQUEST THREAD - Post your dream Fan Edits Here!
Time

I have some requests/ideas here:

  • Sonic the Hedgehog 1 and 2: re-edited audio tracks with game sound effects and game music
  • Castle in the Sky (Laputa) Japanese audio with the American score (and an alternate version with the updated American sound effects from the 2003 Disney DVD)
  • Kiki’s Delivery Service: Japanese audio with the American score and theme songs from the 1998 Disney dub (with an alternate version with the Japanese theme songs paired with the American score, just like the Mandarin DVD dub)
  • Kiki’s Delivery Service: Disney English dub 2010 cut dialogue Mandarin mix (Japanese theme songs but with the US score)
  • Kiki’s Delivery Service: Disney English dub 1998 uncut dialogue with Japanese score
  • Kiki’s Delivery Service: Disney English dub 1998 uncut dialogue Mandarin mix
  • (500) Days of Summer: The Chronological Cut
  • Super Mario Bros. 1993 (The Morton Jankel Cut and Theatrical) re-edited audio tracks with game sound effects and music
  • The Wind Rises: 3.1 stereo remix in Japanese and English (mono sound effects and dialogue, stereo music from the soundtrack LP album) (yes, this 2013 film was mixed in mono)

I’m not surprised.
Where I live in the Philippines, there was a 35mm cinema across the street from where I live.
The last movie I saw there in 35mm was the Sonic movie in 2020. But the cinema closed for three years due to COVID.
And then when they reopened just a few weeks ago, they unfortunately went digital.

What will be the next physical home media release of the Original Trilogy?
Time

Disney100 4K UHD SteelBooks are being prepared for the Original Trilogy.
The artwork has not been revealed yet, but Best Buy (which is the only place you can get this) lists the original versions’ runtimes for the SteelBooks.
This is most likely a mistake on Best Buy’s part, but what better way to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of The Walt Disney Company than releasing the original unaltered versions of Star Wars in 4K UHD for the first time?

It would be a very smart business decision on Disney’s part, but it is still very unlikely. Especially considering how they could easily phone it in and just stick the 2020 Special Editions discs in a new SteelBook. Disney is infamous for being super cheap with their disc releases, so I personally don’t see the Disney100 SteelBooks having the original versions. There is a one in a million chance I could be wrong, and I desperately wish I am wrong.

Info: Films re-released with alterations
Time

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 alters some of the CGI to be a bit more polished, and to have extra animations.
Tails also yelps “Yay! Hugs!” at one point, which he never did in the theatrical version.

And also, Thor: Love and Thunder patched the infamous Axl floating head, in an attempt to fix it.
It just made it look worse, according to most people.

And each Rebuild of Evangelion (Shin Evangelion Theatrical Edition) film gets altered with each new release, and the original theatrical cuts are not available anywhere.
Because of this, many of the differences with the original versions are unknown, though the title does get updated with each new release.
So far, there are:

  • 1.0 (original theatrical release of the first film)
  • 1.01 (updated DVD version of the first film, now OOP as the later 1.11 version has been released on DVD as well; only released in HD in France and Spain as a bonus with the 1.11 Blu-ray)
  • 1.11 (further updated Blu-ray version of the first film, taken from the original 720p files instead of a 35mm printout)
  • 2.0 (original theatrical version of the second film)
  • 2.22 (updated Blu-ray version of the second film)
  • 3.0 (original theatrical version of the third film; includes a prologue short film)
  • 3.33 (updated Blu-ray version of the third film; prologue short film has been removed from all international releases, but the Japanese releases keep it)
  • 3.333 (further updated IMAX Enhanced 4K UHD version of the third film; prologue short film is not present even in Japan)
  • 3.0+1.0 (original theatrical version of the fourth film, also released on 4DX/MX4D and IMAX)
  • 3.0+1.01 (updated last run theatrical/Amazon Prime Video version of the fourth film, never released on IMAX and 4D formats)
  • 3.0+1.11 (further updated IMAX Enhanced 4K UHD version of the fourth film, not out yet)

Info: Recommended Editions of Disney Animated (and Partially Animated) Features

Yeah, IMDb does say Aladdin was Dolby Stereo. Old-time laserdisc forum be damned. There is so many conflicting reports about Disney releases it’s hard to know where to begin, and what info to trust. I’ll go off the working assumption that the 5.1 mixes from LD or DVD, before the era of “Disney home theater mixes,” are expanded 4.0 (or original 5.1) and seek those out. With exceptions for mono movies, and the 70mm movies. I’ll have to look up which were mono, Dolby Stereo, “regular” stereo, etc for the ones I’m interested in. I can live with a certain amount of manipulation if it keeps the image crisp. (The Little Mermaid Blu-ray looked very good to me.) Poor audio on the other hand can just ruin the experience, and the remixes always seem to have something funky going on.

What was the “original mix” 5.1 audio in Aladdin like?
Did it have an LFE channel? Was the rear channels mono (4.0) or stereo (5.0)?
