I’ve heard I’m supposed to DM picture of my Toy Story DVD. How do I send pictures on this website?
Just use any image sharing site like Photobucket or Google Drive
As for Toy Story and 2, I might have a new possible lead for the pre-2009 masters. iTunes Spain has listings for 1 and 2 that are:
HD only (no 4k HDR, otherwise i’d run the same 24fps as the plastered version)
Castilian Spanish dubbed only
PAL 25fps
and appears to have color timing to the 2005 DVD release
iTunes Spain TS1 listing

iTunes Spain TS2 listing

These are only to buy with an iTunes Spain account in Euros. Might be worth looking into ASAP before they get updated.
Great find. Hope you might figure out a way to pay this and decrypt it.
Okay, now that I got the ABC HDTV source. I should point out what was on it.
Here are the list of what I was able to spot, some were pointed out by stretch009.
Overall, I think this rip is terrible. I understand this was done to let people watch the film in HD, but the quality makes the film look as close and a bit worse than the 2005 DVD, especially with the constant glitches. Though then again, I don’t think it was that time compressed, since the only things I can think of when it comes to time compression was cutting scenes out or speeding up the movie, as is the case with the 1982 CLV single disc release of Star Wars. Though it’s still fun to preserve it, though.
Didn’t the 2009 Blu-Ray copy of Monster’s Inc have the 1995 Walt Disney Pictures logo in 1:78:1?
First of all, no, the whole film was shown in 1.85:1. And secondly, the Disney logo used in this film is the same zoomed-in version of the logo used since Toy Story 2. Although the HDTV open matte version of Cars does have it in 1.78:1, like I said, it also used the same zoomed-in version.
Love the audio options! Picture wise, what are the main differences between the original theatrical presentation of TS '95 and the later home media releases?
The Boundary Break guy himself, Shesez, actually did a video showing off those different versions here (https://youtu.be/6w4bzm6ewRQ). In fact, I forgot to mention that this video is actually one of the reasons why I made this preservation in the first place.
The things I should point out that he hasn’t pointed out are that the ending credits have been changed from scratch for the 2010 BD, including recreating the MPAA and Dolby Stereo Digital SR logos, so this is why I included the original ending credits from the 2005 UMD Video release, as the UK 10th Anniversary DVD has the credits in 50 frames interlaced.
In fact, even though Sheesez talks a little bit about the colour grading from the VHS to the THX DVD and 3D BD release, it was mainly since the official transfers of the film used for the VHS (and LaserDisc) were from a 35mm source, and depending on the film stock, it would change the colour from its original raw digital frames. But since there was a difference with the colour grading between the DVD and Blu-ray, I’d assume this was a YUV to Rec.601 NTSC colour space conversion when transferring the raw 2K digital source to DVD, especially since the UMD Video release uses the YUV colour space, which would later be used for the identical Rec.709 colour space when the film was released on Blu-ray, so that is why I used the colour space from that source as reference, though I would assume the lost HDTV rips might use the same colour space as the forthcoming BD, but we’re not sure yet.
While I was waiting for Trist’s 35mm preservation, I decided to do my own take, mostly for anyone who preferred to see the theatrical reconstruction of the digitally sourced version. I originally wanted to start this once I got my hands on those lost pre-2009 HDTV broadcasts, but then I was like, never mind, I’ll do it now.
Here are the video sources I used in this preservation:
And for the audio, I made my own lossless theatrical reconstruction back in January, though the original file I made ended up being lost due to my iMac’s HD being corrupted, but thankfully I was able to save it through an MKV file where it syncs with the UHD footage, though I edited out the ending so it uses audio from the closing Disney and Pixar logos used from post-2009 prints to sync with the UHD footage, so I decided to do it again by cutting out the modern closing logos and brought back the original closing logos from scratch as I originally did.
For this audio reconstruction, I originally made this since the DTS LaserDisc release has ALOT of problems with the audio. At first I thought that noogai3 (the person that did a direct capture of the raw DTS audio stream) might have problems he didn’t recognise with the wav2dts software he used to decode the raw WAV capture, but since the Walt Disney Masterpiece Collection, DTS and THX logos sound fine, it seems that there was a problem with processing the raw analog 6-track audio reels to DTS. I would explain the problems, but I already did, so here’s my quote from LDDB.com:
“…the entire film would have the right channel 8.5dB lower than the rest, resulting in some confusion in your speaker. Even worse is that on side 1, you can hear constant buzzing on the right channel, and on side 2, there is constant [VHS-like] noise on the same channel. I should also mention that even though the right channel would be at -8.5dB for a while, it would start to increase a decibel after the “Strange Things” song, possibly due to a reaction it had after Rex’s loud roar during the song. Then, between Woody getting up coughing after feeling dizzy from the Pizza Planet truck with a plastic cup on his head, to the Pizza Planet animatronic bot saying “You are—“, the right channel would be silent for a while, as originally on theatrical prints, this is a sign that reel 2 ends and reel 3 begins, and it seems like the right channel couldn’t handle the transition. Speaking of transition, there was also a brief audio stutter as the Pizza Planet doors open, possibly done as a way to make sure that the whole audio syncs perfectly to the movie. Then, just as side 1 ends, the right channel becomes silent again, just as Buzz is about to say, “I set my laser from stun…to kill.””
In fact, once I bought myself a copy of the DTS LaserDisc and tested it out, the problems were also there. So what I did was that I used noogai’s AC3RF capture from the Deluxe CAV LaserDisc to fix the right channel’s volume and to use it to fix the problems that the DTS audio had, including patching in the missing segments as well as noise reducing the constant noises from that same channel, and then save it into a 24-bit 6-channel WAV file and then convert it into DTS-HD MA.
And speaking of audio, here are the audio tracks that you’ll expect once you receive the link:
I mainly only want to include audio that uses the original 1995 5.1 mix or Dolby Surround downmixes to recreate the original theatrical experience. This includes post-2005 releases that use foreign dubs of the film that still use the original mix instead of the new 6.1 matrixed remix made specifically for the 10th Anniversary DVD (and later the 3D re-release and Blu-ray release). The 2010 UK BD does have foreign tracks that used the original mix. These are the Hungarian, Hindi and Flemish dubs, even though I already included Hindi in there since it seems Disney used an old bilingual Hindi/English VHS transfer, since the Hindi audio is only playing on the left channel, as well as the noise. But I decided not to include Hungarian and Flemish since, for Hungarian, it was only a Dolby Pro Logic upmix to 5.1 EX of the original Dolby Surround mix while using the LFE channel from the 2005 mix, so the best bet is to find a pre-2005 copy that uses the original Hungarian Dolby Surround mix, and for Flemish, since this is Dutch for the speaking people of Belgium, I thought it would make sense to also include Dutch in there, but the BD uses the 2005 mix, so I’ll have to wait until I grab a DVD copy with the original Dutch and Flemish mixes.
And for subtitles:
Of course, it will be updated once I include more foreign dubs and subtitles from the pre-2005 DVD releases, as well as foreign dubs that are exclusive to TV and VHS, which, of course, could be extremely rare to find.
If any of you have those rare releases, feel free to PM me so I can include them in the next update.
And of course, make sure to PM me if you want the link to my preservation.
I take it you haven’t discovered Usenet? I just downloaded “Toy.Story.1995.720p.HDTV.x264-CtrlHD” from Usenet a few minutes ago.
Go to nzbking. Search:Toy.Story.1995.720p.HDTV.x264-CtrlHD. Sort order: Size.
Okay, I did what you just did, then used NZBGet to download, but then get errors 10060 and 10053, regardless of browsers. My guess was that either my ISP is blocking access to those Usenet NNTP servers, or it could be my first time using Usenet. Would you PM me a link instead?
While I was waiting for Trist to complete his 4K 35mm preservation of Toy Story, I decided to do something that I thought could be an alternative to anyone who preferred to see the digitally sourced version of the original theatrical version of the film. Of course, I already have a list of stuff I need for this proposed preservation:
But the one thing that is missing is the Disney logo. And since many TV broadcasts now usually tend to use the post-2010 versions, and the torrents for the 1080p or 720p HDTV broadcasts of the film seem to be dead, making it impossible. UNLESS someone still had those broadcasts on their hard drives.
According to SpaceBlackKnight on FanRestore.com. He stated:
“There were reportedly 4 pre-2009 HDTV copies (with the original WDP logos head and tale) floating around at some point. One was capped from Disney Cinemagic Japan and in 1080i 29.97 (watermark bug on bottom right, dubbed and with subtitle text translations, incomplete ending credits). The second was a 720p rip from ABC, but time compressed with fade ins/outs and warp sped preview squeezed ending credits. 3rd was from Disney Cinemagic France in 720p but French dubbed and localized titles. The 4th and the most elusive was a VOD capture from Comcast/CableVision being was the most complete with 5.1 audio and no watermark. Sadly these seem to be gone now as the places with them shut down or replaced them with BD rips.”
Alongside that, there were torrents like “Toy.Story.1995.720p.HDTV.x264-CtrlHD” and “des-Toy.Story.1995.HDTV.720p.mkv”, which after trying to download them, seem to be dead. Though from what I recall, the first torrent was first released back in 2008, according to OpenSubtitles iirc, so we could almost hit the jackpot.
So basically, this post was for anyone on this site who still had one of those 6 reported rips on their old hard drives to PM me so I can use them for the digitally sourced theatrical version I might do at some point, as well as letting other people see it.
Also, anyone who still recorded Toy Story directly before 2010 or on any HD channel that still uses the pre-2010 HD master is welcome to PM me.
UPDATE (06/17/25): Just made myself a list of sources based on its status available.
Wallace & Gromit has been dubbed into many languages, and one of them happens to be in Scottish Gaelic. So thankfully, the first three of Wallace & Gromit’s adventures, and yes. Even “The Curse of the Were-Rabbit” would be redubbed for the small amount of Scottish Gaelic people. I was able to rip them using StreamFab before they were delisted since the BBC usually tends to put a 30-day limit on putting their programmes or movies onto their streaming service. This unfortunately includes the Wallace & Gromit Scottish Gaelic dubs.
According to the BBC Programmes website, here are their original airdates.
A Grand Day Out (no translated title) - 14 Apr 2012
The Wrong Trousers (A’ Bhriogais Chearr) - 14 Jul 2012
A Close Shave (Dlùth-Bhearradh) - 21 Jul 2012
The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (Mallachd an Fhir-rabaide) - 25 Dec 2011
Unfortunately, the last airdate of AGDO at the time of this post was on the 9th of March, 2024, so there may be a chance when BBC Alba (the network that aired those dubs) would re-air them on their channel at some point.
I should also mention that I remember that when the Scottish Gaelic dub of TCOTWB was on iPlayer back in December 2024, it was shown in 50fps, and it only applies to the translated text, strangely blending awkwardly with the 25fps sped-up footage of the film’s original 24fps, but the rip I got back in April was downconverted to 25fps, though I don’t know if it was intentional or not. Either way, we still need to find the original 50fps version of the dub since I originally had that in my iMac’s hard drive until it got corrupted as I moved back to Windows.
Another thing is that the original 3 shorts were sourced from the 2009 remaster, as you can guess from those airdates, where it was infamously slowed down from its original 25fps to 24fps. And bizarrely, it sped up back to its originally intended FPS but didn’t change the pitch.
So for fun, I decided to give out this preservation if any of you guys wanted to see it, especially to anyone who lives outside the UK since iPlayer is, of course, region-restricted. Remember to PM me if you want these rare dubs.
(UPDATE (Shortly after post; updated 09/06): I just found out that there was an error in the video file for TWT & TCOTWB. At 26:29 and 27:15 individually, the whole film restarts. I don’t know if this is StreamFab’s fault for encoding or the BBC’s. Though there aren’t any weird heavy H.264 artefacts before that, so I think someone at the BBC might’ve screwed up here. So for the sake of it, I recommend you start watching the dub at those timeframes to prevent any confusion.
I know this thread is ancient, but I would love a link if you still possibly have one, thank you so much.
Same here. I tried to PM ImBateman but it seems he hasn’t responded.
He doesn’t have it anymore, unless it was surfacing anywhere else.
Hey y’all– the final encode is FINALLY finished and I’m currently in the process of slowly but surely getting it out to people. Thank you for bearing with me!
My apologies, I have indeed been quite busy with my personal life being a bit of a mess at the moment. I will be messaging people individually and getting the necessary details to share the scan with them– just hang in there, we are so close!
~Trist
I’m excited and can’t wait to see it.
Same. Right now the release is taking forever.
I think Trist has a preview scan of Toy Story in 1080p. You’ll need to DM him with a photo of your own copy of the movie. (whatever if it’s VHS, VCD, DVD or Blu-Ray)
I wouldn’t upload it on any other sites like Internet Archive if I were you.*
*anyone on Original Trilogy
K thanks.

I do honestly wonder if he will leave the splice alone like what the 35mm transfer of Shrek did.
Who knows, but the splice in the Shrek 35mm transfer wasn’t that distracting, so I think it’ll be fine if left in.
I’d agree too. Besides, it sucks we weren’t aware which part of the third reel where the splice happened.

Can’t wait!!! 😄
Any update on this?
I’m hoping Trist is busy rn and maybe we might get an announcement for him at same point
I do honestly wonder what the file(s) might look like once distribution is ready. Either it would be a single video file with the splice patched with the BD or LD footage or a series of uncompressed/lossless raw scans of each reel for us to compile together?
I was wondering, what condition is this print in?
It was shockingly clean! The condition is extremely nice overall, with just one splice on the third reel. I think people will be really happy with how the final scan turns out. 😃
How so? I mean the color’s a bit faded.
It’s actually a lot less faded than the pictures made it out to be! Check the image links I replied to Peter with on the last page, you’ll see they’re pretty close to how the colors presumably should look. There’s a tiny bit of fade, but it’ll be pretty easy to color-correct.
That reminds me, Considering that there is one splice in one of the reels, I have a Blu-Ray copy of this movie and I can try to match the visuals to the film print to fill that in.
Or…you can use the NTSC LaserDiscs of the film to recreate the official aesthetic of 35mm print that Disney used in their pre-2000 masters. Especially since according to the Deluxe CAV Edition LD, many of the raw digital frames done after rendering were instantly transferred over to positive 35mm, since digitally sourced films weren’t a thing back in 1995.
I don’t have a laserdisc player.
Maybe anyone who has a laserdisc player, any NTSC LD copy of the film, and a capture card, alongside perfect NTSC calibration from the software could help.

Also, considering that this is a print from Australia, I wonder if it contains a Dolby Digital track on the print, as well as maybe the Roger Rabbit short “Rollercoaster Rabbit”, as with the case on international theatrical releases of the film, including the UK.
Is there going to be an open matte version of this scan?
I recall this film was originally animated at 1.66:1 for European theaters. However, by the time the film came out on LaserDisc, John Lasseter wanted to preserve the film by cropping it to his preferred ratio of 1.77:1. To me, that honestly sucks, considering that ever since the LaserDisc release of The Lion King, Disney would preserve their animated films from the originally animated 1.66:1 ratio, and yet Lasseter think showing the film in true 16:9 is really similar to what DreamWorks did to Shrek.
Does anyone still has the trailer from the first post with the cinema 5.1 DTS sound and could re-upload it?
Same here. I would just love to know what it looks like.
Same here. I would love to see how he was able to preserve this LD. If anyone either still has the link or has the files, please PM me. Thanks
Yes, you read the title, this preservation was for an official 4:3 pan and scan version of the 2005 Magic Roundabout film that was originally made for the rare VHS release of the film in the UK, until Prooptiki and Central Partnership accidentally used this version for their Greek and Russian DVD releases of the film respectively.
The video contained in this preservation is remuxed from the Russian DVD release, as the Greek release has part of the picture cut out, along with syncing it to match the timing of the French Blu-ray master. The audios included in this were the right and rear channels timing fix of the English audio mix on the French Blu-ray, converted from DTS-HD MA to AC3, the official stereo mix of the fullscreen version heard in both the UK VHS and Greek DVD release, where the center channel was given a stereo filter, making it unlistenable, especially when played on mono equipment, and the 5.1 remix of the stereo mix from the Russian DVD release, complete with added ambience sounds. It also includes English SDH subtitles I’ve converted from the subtitle track of the UK DVD release to SRT.
As always, remember to private DM me if you want to see it.
