I heard about that too. It’s kinda funny since I remember getting a comment on the trailer I did on youtube saying something along the lines of “The digital files can just be re-rendered at any resolution”. Looks like thats not the case.

Apparently the original files are just gone, apparently they had digital backups of all their movies and their backups failed. Pixar also keep their original digital files for the first two Toy Story films and just re-rendered the film at 2K / 1080p for Blu-Ray which was a smart move IMO.

Jonathan Gibbs says “Shrek was rendered on SGI IRIX systems. It was mostly in-house software and the code still exists. Technically possible to rebuild and re-render but you’d need experts in how it all worked back then and a lot of time.” and that there wasn’t even a proper Digital Intermediate for Shrek. But after they moved to 12-bit JPEG at 4:4:4, Megamind used OpenEXR etc.

interesting…
no wonder why Antz is from a 35mm master.

Idea: The Thomas And Friends Original Restoration.
Time

when Thomas and friends got restored in HD there was some changes for unknown reasons.
one of these moments happened in Thomas comes to breakfast.
when the stationmaster glares at Thomas his background changed.

There was a lot of changes in the restored version of thomas and friends.
that is why we want an actual remaster of the first 2 Seasons to fix the issue.
we hope we can get this completed soon enough!
Thanks!

P.S i know that the entire description is short but i ran out of time since i posted it late.
but i might improve it soon enough ok.

Toy Story (1995) 1.5K restoration in 3D (a WIP; v1.0.3 currently available)
Time

As promised, here’s the textless teaser trailer, in 2D and 3D. What do you think of the color correction job I did?

UPDATE: This version of the textless teaser trailer is outdated due to unintended compression when combining the video and audio files with FFMPEG. A corrected version without video compression has been encoded.

the link is broken.

Off topic but might wanna fix that typo lol

I know Little Mermaid, Aladdin, and Lion King are others that exist but they’re donor exclusive

Aladdin is not donor exclusive. The one I have even has an uncensored audio track.

I’d love to see that Lion King one. Disney changed so much for that. I do have a laserdisc rip. Would be nice to delete it.

i want to hear the scan audio.

There is a 4K Blu-Ray of Shrek coming out soon anyways, plus I think Mango wants to be safe due to Covid which is understandable, so maybe stop trying to rush him to finish this?

seriously? its Shrek’s 20th Birthday
we need that scan by now

Dude Do you not know how stupid you sound, do you not know that we’re are in a global pandemic?? Don’t you know that Mango wants to stay safe and the shipping to scan it will be delayed? Dude you stop being like “We need that scan by now” and “You should scan it by now” Well, why don’t you find a print online, buy it and scan it yourself if you want it that bad.

look i understand but doesn’t mango scan?
i have seen 35mm scans by him.

No I don’t. Shrek has to be sent to a scanner before it can be scanned, and the last thing I’d want is for there to be any issue with shipping it due to the pandemic. Just relax. It will happen eventually.

oh i see?
ok.
