I cut all the bad parts, for example end of part 1.

I’m interested in this also! The film is my favorite animation film of all time.
But, what do you mean you cut the bad parts?
Are any frames/scenes missing?

By the way, does anyone know what happened with framemaster who was tackling with the project?
I had contributed to that one and he has disappeared from earth’s face!

Thank you for the info.
If you see in the first post I was among the donators.
I’m wondering too if I may have the stabilized version you did. I never downloaded the preview scan in the hope of a final version that has never came yet.

Hey is this Project already finished? or I can still donate?
Im interested in Disney Renaissance 35mm versions

99% 35mm
https://youtu.be/4GHTpVCvjCA

What is this exactly?
Is it a preview of RU.08’s scan or another scan?

It is a copy paste =>

Here I split into 6 parts (I’m too lazy to stick into 1 part but It is easy with Movavi or Vegas Pro). https://youtu.be/tXe-E5oPCLQ I took this version => Beauty.and.the.Beast.1991.1080p.35mm.Preview.Scan
I cropped the image around, stabilized the image. Replace the bad AAC audio with the laserdisc English audio (PCM 48KHZ, 2.0, 16 bits and 1536Kbit/s). I also cut out unnecessary passages (like the end of part 1 and the beginning of part 2).

I added a new video to show you the video with the stabilization and the Laserdisc audio https://youtu.be/O3shXmQVLEQ
I changed the timing in 23.976FPS and the width is 1808 and the height 1024 pixels. No upscale, no AI. It is raw, 4 pixels changed for the stabilization but nobody can see it.

Do we have any update on this?
I understand these things take time, and I’ve donated, but framemaster hasn’t logged in since October…

UPDATE! Wow I just discovered something by accident. The 2000 UK DVD actually has original Deems Taylor intro, according to this: http://www.ign.com/articles/2000/11/17/fantasia-anthology

I had a Pal VHS that had the original narration but unfortunately I’ve sold it some time ago.
Although I’m one of those that always wants the original film, in Fantasia I don’t mind much because it’s the animation that counts.

Someone at bluray. com said this:

“Apparently, some streaming or on demand service a while ago had a new HD Master of Make Mine Music up for a short time and it was completely uncut.”

Does anyone know anything about it? Has he/she kept this version?

I’m happy to report that I will be taking this on, just ordered the blu-ray from US amazon 😃

Oh, thank you so much kk650!! 😃

Here’s another video that I found from hometheater forum, with comparison of previous HD master and bluray.

Seems like a photoshop auto-color to me.

Yes, exactly!
It was a photoshop autocolor, just to give an idea of how wrong was the color!

This looks marvellous!
If only the official release had these colors and the mono included!

Hello KK650.
I really love your regrades (though you’re making mostly contemporary films that don’t interest me).
I’m not sure if the King and I (which has a blanket blue tint) is something that would interest you. But thought to bring it to your attention.

Ok, what happened with the original poster?
Maybe his thread was more like a suggestion than a statement?

I wonder, is this 2002 PAL DVD for Cinderella, pre-restoration?

A German DVD of Sleeping Beauty came out in 2002. Does anyone know if this predates the Lowry restoration? http://www.disneyinfo.nl/dvddetail.php?film=1863

It could be - here are some screenshots: http://imgur.com/a/Q3uIi
Compared to the Platinum/Diamond Edition the picture is slightly cropped and has a more filmic look.

there isn’t any NTSC DVD of this version released?

Maybe the 2003 Special Edition DVD that DoctorM mentions is the same?

By the way, I found some comparisons of this German 2002 DVD with the UK Platinum edition, and indeed it seems pre-restored, with grain:

about SITS:
Why on earth they release a very good HD digital version and they also release a really crappy Bluray?
Hope other animation films are on the way like Robin Hood, Aristocats (yes, I know about the HDTV version), 101 Dalmatians etc.

Has anyone mangled a fair copy from VHS?
Kinda wish we had kept all of our old VHS tapes after seeing the newer Blue ray versions.

In case you haven’t seen it, there is this chance for the 35mm film print preservation, which is the closest to the theatrical experience!

No, it wouldn’t. I swear there was an earlier HD transfer, just not on physical media. Am I misremembering or confusing it with Sword in the Stone?

I don’t think there was ever one.
There was just a comparison of a screenshot from the bluray with an untouched grainy screenshot coming from the menu.

Just bumping this thread in case anyone would like to help! 😉

Thank you very much for the info.
Wow, i had never thought that those shots had indeed a sky blue backgound.
i was so used to the dark-almost black background and it also made sense narratively…

FrankT said:

By the way, can someone let me know what shots had their colours altered on the Blu-ray?

well, i think all of it has altered colors.
i would be particularly interested in this (and similar scenes from the end of the first segment, where we had a dark backgound) because the change was so radical.
in vhs and dvd versions it’s like this:
https://s27.postimg.io/jwh2v5qb7/dvd_snapshot_00_09_03_2014_06_22_20_26_06.png

but in the bluray it’s like this:
https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRC0WvR4Y-bRbEcy_q_1-Xo6oBNLxdHZDDRA2KzC2AiLNVhpqZa

i thought the first made more sense. (the light coming out of the darkness)
how is it in the print?

DoctorM do you know if the Hercules DVDs you mention are transfers of a film print/negative?

I found the Gold Colection pocahontas DVD which is the version I will be watching because it has film grain, and I love grain even in CAPS animation.
It gives life to the film (compared to the flat digital look) and also ties all elements (hand-drawn and CGI) together.

I’m afraid I don’t know about Hercules.
A good source to check for details on different versions is DVDizzy (formerly UltimateDisney.com): http://www.dvdizzy.com/disneyanimatedclassics.html

Yes, I know about this.
But the reviewer says this:
“I didn’t notice any problems as far as grain, smudges, or print defects of any kind.”

i don’t understand if he considers grain a problem and this DVD doesn’t have grain, or if the DVD has grain and isn’t presented with any problems.
He doesn’t say where the transfer is sourced from.
Unless the mention of “print defects” implies that this is sourced from a print.

Bloody hell! Is that still going onward?!

Don’t know what has happened with the project.
just look at the last posts in that thread.

FrankT said:

All that matters to me is that Fantasia is completely unavailable in its original version. Unless, by some sort of miracle, we find a pre-1969 print.

Here you are:

Storia di Una Donna (1970).
(not available in ANY medium)

I wanted to repeat my comment from myspleen:

WOW! What a milestone release!!

Thank you so much about this to everyone involved!
Your dedication to this project was unparallel!

I have one question though:
The 5.1 audio in Harmy’s release was coming from the 70mm 6-track audio, right?
Could that audio sync with this release? (i mean if I extract it from that mkv and insert it in this one).
or is it going to be included in the BD version?

edit: Ok, my questions were replied at the comments section of myspleen.
Apparently the 5.1 audio doesn’t sync with this release.
