Great find. Hope you might figure out a way to pay this and decrypt it.

Not ATM unfortunately. Payment isn’t the issue as there’s plenty of places that sell itunes gift card codes for many regions, what is now is account creation for the specific region. TL/DR: you used to be able to make a itunes account easily with random information and no phone number required, but with the IOS security revisions it’s semi region locked nowadays and much harder to create accounts unless you have a trusted someone with a phone number for the correct region (and burner/paid numbers no longer work ether).

I had access to a Spanish itunes account some time ago through a logo hunting group I was in, but not anymore due to the group disbanding for reasons I can’t get into publicly.

Anybody else from Spain here?

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 TS2 listing

These are only to buy with an iTunes Spain account in Euros. Might be worth looking into ASAP before they get updated.

Upon checking, none of the UK and foreign physical releases have it and all feature the standard VA for eBoy. Even the UK and AUS D+ with all their “exclusivity” BS, doesn’t even have an “secondary” English track with it.

However it’s alleged that some UK TV airings, specifically 1.78 formatted versions on former UK Disney Channel/Disney XD, had the UK regional audio. This version might also air on other channels like BBC1.

Don’t the UK DVD and foreign BDs have it? I know they did similar regional cameos for others like Cars, where the UK release had Jeremy Clarkson as Harv and was featured on the UK DVD and 2007 foreign BDs.

Certain streaming platforms used the mono mix with the 4K master

Oh which ones?!

I know iTunes has it on the 4gb download, but its been said Fandando/Vudu also have a mono track.

All DVDs use the standard US cut since Warner claimed the remaining international rights from Cannon (who prepped and released the extended cut overseas).

That depends on if the YT video uploaded by the source was actually encoded 5.1, because most YT videos are stereo due to the source files being multi channel in a format like LPCM (where YTs encoders cannot process it direct in 5.1) and always converts it down to AAC 2.0. If the source video file has an audio codec YT accepts (like AAC which can go and be set up to 5.1) it’s usually left intact and most video downloaders can detect and grab it with the video stream.

If the video is indeed in native 5.1 but the downloaders cannot grab it or the correct audio, worst case scenario is configurating Windows/Realtek sound driver to output 5.1 then setting Audacity to have 6 audio busses and record in Windows WASAPI mode.

Out of interest has this new HD release been advertised anywhere, or just popped up as an extra purchase option out of the blue?

Only in the UK AFAIK. It seems Entertainment Film Distributors (who are still around) are the main producer and current rights holder for everywhere but the US. Slipstream did get an extremely limited theatrical run here by a small distributor that not only went belly up not long after release, but also allegedly did not file a proper copyright and thus went PD shortly afterwards.

Didn’t Entertainment Film have a successful run on VHS and dvd releases as EIV, Entertainment In Video, with the almost the
same logo.

EIV is Entertainment Films home video division and were the ones who put out proper releases as Slipstream was always under copyright in the UK.

It’s possible the 1996 Uruguay act could take it out of PD in the US since it’s not even that old and was copyrighted as an international production.

This was a 2k digital production with some sections (the David Hasselhoff footage) shot on 35mm and completed as a 2k DI. Even though they were still doing filmouts of stuff until at least 2012, Paramount’s HD master is derived from the DI.

Surprised they went to a filmout on this one since they could have easily just upscaled the 2k DI. Maybe they rescanned the raw 35mm live action footage and while they recomped the filmout sections that had different color it may have made sense to have most of it come from that as opposed to the DI with drastically different grading.

Hi All, I’m a massive slipstream fan and have been googling when this will be HD widescreen I’ve looked on this forum for the past 8 years or more hoping for an answer if we will ever get it. Well I needed to come on here to tell you…. It’s now available in HD Widescreen on Amazon Prime!!! It got released today and it looks amazing!! Had to tell you guys. Enjoy!

iTunes UK has a legit HD version from a 4k scan of the OCN. Judging by the preview, it’s 1.85 and has mono audio.

Will take a look tomorrow once I get a UK itunes card to rent it there.

Spaceblackknight here! Some of you may know me from Fanres and blu-ray.com.

This was on Cinemax and AMC+ about a year ago with what looked like a 4k remaster. From what I remember the “House for Sale” scene was the same butcher as the BD unfortunately.

Only other way to properly restore the butcher job would be to get a 35mm print.

Looks nice from the YT sample I saw! Better than the R2 DVDs and a huuuggge step up from the old Disney masters.

BTW, I don’t think Disney owns US rights to first film anymore. Unlike the sequels, they did not produce the first film and only got distribution rights for a certain period of time. It’s not on streaming anywhere (though they do have the sequels) and the DVD is OOP, which tells you the obvious. ITV owns international rights through distributor ITC, hence why it got better treatment overseas than what the House of Mouse had done over here.

If I had to guess, US rights are now ether with the main producer now or perhaps Multicom Entertainment (who owns the catalog of one of the producers The Kushner Locke Company).
