Any updates on this project yet?

Hi, Bobson. How’s the puppet Yoda version coming along?

I sure hope this project is still in progress because I am convinced that Poita could possibly have found the original roadshow version of Fantasia.

Hi, Topper. I sent you a PM about this project. Please take a look at it.

They are the DVD cuts, but if you checkout the script for ROTS, you’ll see that you could output the theatrical cut by changing the final output from “DVDFull” to “TheaterFull”.  That will substitute the missing diagonal wipe from the BD version.

How can I check out the script for Episode III?

Hi, Bobson. I was wondering when you’ll start working on the real Original Theatrical Version (the one with the puppet Yoda). Thank you.

No need for that since we have the laserdisc. At this point people should work uncensoring the blu ray or getting a 35mm scan.

The blu ray footage edited to fix censorship and made to fit the audio tracks of the version I released would be a good project someone can work on now. Then people can have a choice between the laserdisc image and the HD blu ray one while still retaining full video, original audio, and Deems Taylor’s voice.

I’ve actually done an uncensored version of either the DVD or Blu-Ray version.

You have? Share the love then! The only one I’ve seen is the uncensored DVD on myspleen and that crashes on VLC (therefore you have the run the vob files directly).

Might as well. I should warn you, though, it’s an MP4 file, whereas most projects on here are MKV files.

While we are waiting for the ultimate version, I worked on it for the past two weeks or so and have made my own restoration of the 1990 CAV LaserDisc version of Fantasia for those that are interested. This obviously won’t beat what poita is working on, but should be pretty decent to have while waiting. Its funny how we went for years without much for Fantasia restoration, and suddenly have two released on the same week almost at the same time lol

Nice. I was going to make an uncensored version of that same version, using the 1991 VHS version of the movie.

The chosen one has returned

Harmy…is the chosen one. He will bring balance.

Poita hasn’t been active on this site in 9 months because he’s focusing on actually working on his projects, so it could be a while before he gives updates for any of them.

Well, that could explain why he hasn’t responded to my private message about this project. Oh, well, glad to know he’s working hard on it.

So this thread is more of a ‘Can you send me a copy of the original unaired pilot of ‘Aaahh!!! Real Monsters’?’ request, rather than a preservation project?

Well, it’s a mixture of both.

Hi. I’ve been wanting to see the original unaired pilot for Aaahh!!! Real Monsters, as well as the original pilot version of the Doug episode “Doug Can’t Dance”, for about a while now. If any of you could find these, then that would be great.

I would love to see “Treasure of the Sierra Brooklyn” and “The Magic Love” with the original English audio. I already have the English versions of the other eleven Friday live-action segments, taken from YouTube. Hope the original English audio tracks for the two mentioned above will be found soon.

On myspleen there’s actually a full 60GB release of the CAV LD. Be cool if someone put the censored bits back.

I’m pretty sure that’s just the 1990 re-release.

didn’t piota or someone have a a print and a topic on this?

I’ve never even heard of piota.

Is it okay if I get a link too? If not, it’s cool. Although, imo, the SE ending and with the new music with Sebastian Shaw as Force Ghost Anakin is the perfect ending for ROTJ. Plus, no Naboo with Wesa fee too! The 97 edition is the perfect definitive way to end the OG trilogy.

I would have to agree.

Fantasia is scheduled to be released on DVD and Blu-Ray as part of Disney’s Signature Collection sometime this year. It doesn’t matter if the Pastoral Symphony segment is censored, as I plan to do my own reconstruction of the original roadshow version of the movie. All I’m hoping for this release is that it includes the original Deems Taylor monologues, which I hope has been re-discovered by now.

I might be the only one that prefers 97 Jabba. Yeah he looks terribly outdated but he’s got personality.

Same.

I’m sorry to report that Michael Angelis, the narrator of Thomas & Friends from 1991-2012, has passed away aged 68;

I might include a little tribute to him in my Series 3 preservation.

Oh, no. Well, I’m sure every Thomas fan will miss him. Myself included.

When is Harmy going to start working on his V3.0’s?

I’m not sure. Last time I heard, he was too busy with his personal life.

Censoring of Tom and Jerry was the reason why I started rebelling against the censors in the first place. I’ve been planning this civil rebellion for about a couple years now, but I declared war on censoring animation and illustrated books all the way back in 2015. Censoring animation was wrong then and is wrong today. By censoring their cartoons, these greedy corporations are rewriting history. I am sick and tired of it and everyone else in America should, too. Uncensored must dominate America’s home media, period.

They have the UK titles, so I can only assume they’re the original British versions.

A very exciting update on this topic. Almost every episode of Bob the Builder (1998-2011) is available on CBS All Access in their original aspect ratio. The only exception is Series 1, which is cropped to widescreen. Unfortunately, the shorts are not included, so the shorts will be excluded from my preservation. This may cost me money to preserve one episode from Series 5, as well as every episode from the following series, but I’ll hold out somehow.
