Superman (1941) (Mild-Mannered Edition) (Released)
Time

I used to have this version:

http://www.amazon.com/dp/6305078955/

It had the original mono soundtracks and predates all the releases that started adding extra sound effects and cheap stereo effects.  My brother had the Bosko versions on VHS and I recall it having better picture quality then those with a few scenes intact that were missing or altered due to extra fades and wipes added to the Bosko version.  Beyond that I don't remember enough about the picture quality.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit? - uncensored HDTV airing(s) (Released)
Time

While I finish encoding the uncensored version of the movie, here is the 1080p HD remaster I did of the trailer.  I had to do a split archive due to filesize restrictions.

part 1

part 2

The pig head segment in the trailer was not in the movie or even in the version of the deleted scene that was on the DVD so I had to do the best I could to make the the limited quality original trailer footage I had work in the remaster.  There are also two scenes that are slightly different in the original trailer because they were missing parts of the final added cartoon animation.

The Mouse And His Child remaster
Time

Yeah, Sanrio fans and people who remember the movie from when it was released are probably going to be the most likely to be interested.  I'm using the audio off the VHS transfer that was used for that bootleg with light filtering to remove some of the hiss and noise.  The reel breaks on the VHS tape also cut out bits of footage that are in the Japanese version.  Fortunately, the parts that were missing were mostly silent.

If this one works well, I also have the Japanese DVD for Nutcracker Fantasia along with the VHS rip that's floating around.  I might try to redo that one as well.

The Mouse And His Child remaster
Time

I bought the Japanese DVD of the obscure Sanrio/Murakami-Wolf animated film "The Mouse And His Child" a while back with the intention of doing sort of a remaster using the English dialog track from the VHS rip that has been floating around.

I've finally started on the project and I figure I will attempt to find a way to remove the Japanese title overlay at the beginning and restore the English credits at the end.  I'm about two-thirds of the way through re-syncing the VHS audio to work with the DVD video.

UPDATE:  I've updated theatrical trailer and UK/Promo trailer to include a better version of the Dino De Laurentiis logo (thanks bendermac) and increased the bitrate on these two files.  I had to split the UK/Promo trailer into two parts due to filesize limitations.

Army Of Darkness Trailer and TV spot HD remasters
Time

If it's the one that's basically the "Ash took a weekend trip... through time" TV spot with a picture of the VHS tape replacing the last few cuts, I skipped that one because I don't have a clean enough scan of the VHS cover to use and that frame doesn't upscale well.

Also, it didn't seem to serve much purpose since it was just an edit of one of the TV spots.

Sorry for triple-posting but the forum wouldn't let me delete and consolidate my last two posts.

I've finished creating a remaster of the 2 minute promo trailer included on the German ultimate edition set as well as adding the German audio track to the remastered original trailer.  Here are the links.

The Evil Dead Treasures Collection (Released)
Time

I used to have the Japanese program booklet for Evil Dead II and it had stills from a scene where the possessed Ed had half his head cut off and you could see that the skull was mostly empty with a tiny shriveled brain in it.  It was more comical that scary, though.  It looked like something from some unused footage and not a behind the scenes shot so maybe it was something that was removed because that part of the prop head wasn't really supposed to be seen.
