I read in a YouTube comment that somebody read in a forum that Disney had re-discovered the complete Deems Taylor narrations, with his actual voice, around the time Fantasia was released on Blu-Ray. However, the Blu-Ray release uses the Corey Burton audio from the 2000 DVD release. I don’t know if the “original narrations being re-discovered” thing is true or not, but I’m waiting for an answer about that on the YouTube video where I found the comment, to which I replied. I hope what the forum said is, indeed, true because I’m really wanting to completely recreate the Original Roadshow Version of Fantasia. I’m still considering making my own dubbing of the narrations as a back-up plan, but if that forum is true, then I would be super-hyped for a Disney+ release of Fantasia, complete with the original narrations.

I really appreciate Harmy took the time to recreate the 97 version of ANH! But there’s one small error that’s been bugging me. I don’t know if anyone else noticed this but in the Jabba scene at one point you can see the 04 Jabba poke out of the rotoscoping for a second as shown here:

Thanks for pointing that out. I’m sure it won’t matter because I could barely notice it. The 2004 Jabba is just a invisible blur, but I’m sure people won’t be able to notice it.

Well, then, I guess my Fantasia reconstruction is already complete, although I could try to do my own dubbing of the full narrations, trying to stay as faithful to Deems Taylor’s actual voice as possible. Thanks for your help.

Hello. Does this print have Deems Taylor’s full introductions? I need those full introductions for my recreation of the Original Theatrical Version of Fantasia.

Resolve Studio is not free, but there is also a free version of Resolve that will do everything you need from it.

Okay, thanks for your help.

Hello. I am completely against censoring animation and illustrated books, so I have decided to start a rebellion where I recreate the original versions of animated works and illustrated books as a way of protest. Fantasia is my first project in this rebellion. The uncensoring process is already done. Now, I just need the audio for Deems Taylor’s narration. There’s one small problem: the VHS tape that I own doesn’t have the full narrations. So, is there any 35mm print of the movie that has the full narrations? Thank you.

DaVinci Resolve is excellent - and free! I’m using it for my fan edit. It’s not difficult to use, and if someone is having trouble, there are tutorials on YouTube.

Well, last time I checked, DaVinci Resolve costed almost $300, so I don’t see how I’m going to be able to afford it due to saving up for other things.

Fine, no color correction at all then. Besides, it’s too expensive to even buy a single software for color correction.

Hello. Just to update, I may have actually regained interest in making my Ultimate Edition of the Star Wars saga as a fan edit. Just so you know, the reason why I wanted these deleted scenes in 720p is to match the colors on Harmy’s Despecialized Edition of the Original Trilogy, so please do so. Thank you.

Both the MKV (14 GB) and AVCHD (8 GB) versions of Adywan’s ESB 1997 are already in full HD (1080p). The former is slightly higher quality, but the latter is suitable for burning to a DVD9 disc and playing in a standalone Blu-ray player.

The colour-correction used makes Hoth very white (i.e. the snow has virtually no blue tint to it), making this presentation rather unique.

Well, where can I find Adywan’s TESB 1997? Also, will Adywan be working on a ROTJ 1997?

That’s disappointing. The altered ending is one of the few changes in the entire trilogy that’s actually not bad, and of course it hasn’t been seen in its original form since the DVDs came out in 2004. The extra scenes they’ve added to it since then completely wreck the pacing.

Yeah, I kinda like the 1997 ending to Return of the Jedi. You get this nice music in combination with different planets celebrating the end of the Galactic Empire. That ending is the perfect connection to the then-upcoming Prequel Trilogy. This ending will be the basis for the ending sequence of my animated Ultimate Edition of Return of the Jedi, meaning it will follow the 1997 Special Edition (Sebastian Shaw as Anakin’s ghost, how it’s supposed to go!!!). In my mind, the Special Editions of the Original Trilogy should have been left alone as they were back in 1997 and I am wanting to have those Special Editions in Blu-Ray quality. I guess I’ll just have to wait until Harmy does a Respecialized Edition '97 of both The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.

Just right click the thread title and download the html file.

Which thread title? I don’t think it’s even there.

Hello. Have you finished the 1997 Special Editions of Episodes 5 & 6? If you have, then may I please have a copy of each, along with a copy of the 1997 Special Edition of Episode 4? Thank you.

Okay, just to update, the American Archive of Public Broadcasting (AAPB) will be preserving every episode of Sesame Street so far to celebrate the show’s golden anniversary. However, nobody mentioned anything about these episodes being available to watch on the AAPB’s website, so I’m wanting to make that happen. If they do become available on the AAPB’s website, I’ll let you know. As for my animated remake of the first season, I have finished recreating the funding credits. However, I’m not sure if I want to redo it because on the Season 1 credits found on the Old School DVD’s, the funding credits dissolves to the NET logo, but on actual first season episodes that I found on YouTube, it’s just a simple cut. I guess I’ll just have to see if the digitized episodes by the AAPB will have a simple cut if they ever become available on their website. Thanks for your help in trying to find these lost skits from the first season and please let me know if any of you do find something.

I appreciate your help, but I’m already working on the funding credits myself. As for the title sequence, I have the version taken from the very first episode of Sesame Street all the way back in 1969, but I’m not sure how to remove the number 1 from the video. The title sequence is where your help could possibly come in handy. Thanks again.

Hello. I have this idea for an animated recreation of the first season of Sesame Street from 1969 to 1970. This project will have all the street scenes completely remade, with a new voice cast. The Muppets and cast skits will have the footage remade, while the audio will remain the same. However, I have found out that some skits from the first season have claimed to be lost, either completely or partially. If anyone has the lost Season 1 skits in its original English audio, then that would be fantastic. I look forward to hearing about these lost Season 1 skits. Thank you very much.

Sincerely,
UncutIsSuperior, who will be providing the voice for Mr. Hooper, as well as all the Muppet characters whenever this new cast is needed.

The German Season 1 DVD contains the original Zoot ending at the end of a few episodes. As for all the other Zoot endings, I have no idea where I can find any of them.

Hello. I just want you to know that I’ve given up on making my Ultimate Edition of the Star Wars saga as a fan edit. Instead, I’ve decided to make it as an animated remake of each movie. Of course, the music will be the same, but the voices will be re-recorded. However, I still want the deleted scenes from the entire Original and Prequel trilogies restored for use in a film comic adaptation of the saga, so please let me know when they’re finished. Thank you.

Hello. I now have the official Blu-Ray release of not only the Original Trilogy, but the Prequel Trilogy as well on the same Blu-Ray set, so please send me a copy of the Despecialized Editions of the Original Trilogy. Thank you.

Wow, I was just about to do a preservation myself! Thanks for attempting to do this project. Could you please send me the link once it’s finished? Thank you.

If you’re looking for non-Adobe software to learn on, DaVinci Resolve seems to be very popular recently. Sony Vegas has long been a top choice for fan editors, too.

Hi. I’ve been thinking about your advice on color correction. I’ve been doing some research on DaVinci Resolve, but the Studio version is way too expensive. So, yeah, I don’t think color correction is going to be worked on for my projects. Besides, in my recreation of the Original Theatrical Version of Disney’s Fantasia, I personally think the censored scenes look good as they are, even without color correction. Thanks again for your advice.

Thank you so much for your suggestions. I really appreciate it.

Sounded a lot more like a demand that someone else do all the work for you instead of a polite request to me.

Like I said, I know absolutely nothing about color correction. It’s too hard and too complicated. And I know, I’ve tried it. Now, because of these posts, I personally started to lose hope in ever doing an “Ultimate Edition” of the Star Wars saga.

Never too late to learn. How you came off seemed rude and demanding. Most of the time with a project like you are trying to accomplish, the files are not just going to be there and ready. You will have to put in work with it. Everyone starts somewhere with editing. I recommend looking on YouTube for tutorials depends on your editor. I personally use Adobe Premiere for most of my work. Adobe has a 30 day free trial of it.

I actually tried to do color correction with one of my own projects, but it seemed too hard and too complicated. Also, I am personally boycotting Adobe products because of the lack of a perpetual license, so if you know of an alternative, could you please let me know? Thank you.

No one likes being told what to do, especially with things they spent time on and didn’t get paid for. Asking for it would probably be more effective in getting what you want. Just a thought.

I did ask for everything to be in 720p for my “Ultimate Edition” of the saga. I tried to be as polite as I could, but Jaxer proceeded to make fun of my request, possibly completely unaware of the fact that I know absolutely nothing about color correction. I was offended by their response, so I calmly stood up to them. If you thought I was being bossy, then I’m sorry if I sounded that way.
