Re: Petition to re-theme Splash Mountain

I only half agree with you, Carolinakid. I do think she looks a bit like Eudora, cause they gave her the same haircut! Plus, the hair looks looking dark grey, not black... which makes her look older (it might just be the lighting). Also, her hand looks like an overweight old person's hand... But I D...

Re: Rank the Disney Princess Films

Sorry to be late to the party. Fun idea, Fareb! So I can't really rank them, cause there would be too many ties. So I will take the idea from some of you before me, and rank them in groups: Group1: re-watchable Masterpieces: (in no particular order) Beauty and the Beast. Aladdin. The Little mermaid....

Re: Sleeping Beauty Discussion

I am generally very pleased with the 2008 restoration, but there are shots where the grain removal scrubbed away some detail (nothing as bad as Cinderella!), and there are some color mistakes that have been addressed in this forum before (Maleficent's blue skin, the couple of shots where her eyes ar...

Re: What is the problem with Modern Disney movies having a message compared to the 90s?

I agree with everything Mooky said. Very well expressed.

And as much as I like Hercules... the moment at the end when Zeus spells out the message of the movie, it always makes me cringe. Hahahah.

Re: Scrooged: Yule Love It! Edition Delayed

Ok... I might be late to the party but... I am a fan of this movie. And it seems it was released in November 2023 on 4K... ... WITH ALL THE BONUS MATERIAL THEY HAD PROMISED BACK IN 2006!!!!!! Only problem is, it is not a combo pack... so no regular blu ray. I don't have a 4K player and don't foresee...

Re: Wish

Hey Mooky, I agree with your points, but I find it very strange that a 75 yr old would give away his wish at that stage of life. And that entire kingdom was built in 20-25 years?!?!?! WHAT??? (not questioning Mooky, this is implied in the film) As for him turning 100 to coincide with the anniversary...

Hold on a second... don't know if this had been brought up before. Asha's grandfather is turning 100... at what age did he give his wish to the King??? Cause the king isn't THAT old... Did grandpa give his wish to the king when he was.... 75? 90? How old was the king when he received this wish??? Di...

Re: Pinocchio Discussion

Hey, You know, I never noticed it before, but you made me go back and look at it. And I think it IS on purpose, but not handled well: If you look at the shot where Pinocchio gets hit with a spotlight, THAT is the moment where the shirt turns from yellow to white, intended to be a lighting effect.

Re: Whats the scariest Disney scene of al time?

Hmmm... I can't say that any scene in a Disney movie SCARED me. I guess the fact that it was animation made it feel less threatening to me. As an adult, looking back... I think the scene in Pinocchio where Lampwick turns into a donkey is pretty scary/disturbing, specially because he is desperately c...

Re: Inside Out 2

I have to say, I am pretty excited about this... looks great so far. As far as the new emotions and their continuity... they could be the temporary emotions that show up during puberty... and then go away as we settle into adulthood. The console changed at the end of the last movie, odds are it woul...

Yeah, Duster. I agree with everything you just said. It's a stupid way of thinking, but it seems to be what the big-wigs at Disney were thinking at the time of the first Cinderella restoration. Thank God it has been fixed. I suspect you are right about tSitS.... like they just batch-processed the wh...

Re: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Discussion

Very welcome, Umbrellafish. And I agree with you that the SW correction is not nearly as drastic as Cinderella's... the latter probably had the worst track record of visual quality of any Disney movie. Watching the new blu ray was like watching the film for the first time (unless some were lucky to ...

Re: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Discussion

BlackCauldron85, My thoughts: it's not that they didn't want the film to look it's best before. But it comes down to the criteria of the restorer and the medium. So: 1994 VHS and 2001 dvd were intended and calibrated for tube TVs (non-flatscreens): so the colors would have shown very differently. Th...

Re: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Discussion

I do think Marc Davis would have made such a "mistake". He had worked on SW 35 years earlier, I doubt he remembered or bothered to look it up, IF her age was on any official character description. Just cause Walt said it and knew it, doesn't mean he told everyone or wrote it down. And Walt...

Re: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Discussion

Sotiris, again... if you listen to the commentary, there are recordings of Walt himself saying "Snow White is supposed to sound like a 14 year old girl"... he mentions the age of 14 more than once.

I personally don't care about her age. Makes no difference to me.

Ooooh Teppy... the blu ray has way better quality/definition than the one on Disney+. You'll see! You won't regret your purchase. That is a lovely model sheet... but read the corner: it's from 1971 and intended for book illustrations. I DO think SW looks more like she is 16 rather than 14.... but I ...

Hey Duster, The difference isn't as drastic as Cinderella, but for example, see if you compare the these shots with the previous blu ray: - Opening scene of the queen, when she says "Alas for her... reveal her name". In the old transfer, her nose disappears and reappears a lot. In the new ...

Re: Wish

Really disliked the Chris Pine song. Why does it feel like the songs have zero structure?

My main gripe: he mentions "genetics".... so I guess they are not even trying to pretend this is "long ago" any more. It's just contemporary people in old-timey costume. Noted.
