The Disney restoration team does seek out IB Tech prints for reference (I know they found them on BAMBI, SNOW WHITE, 101 DALMATIONS, JUNGLE BOOK, SLEEPING BEAUTY, LADY, DUMBO) and also do extensive research at the Animation Research Library to see what the surving cells and BGs look like since...

I understand he went to work for Waste Management and is now an x-ray technician

so....just curious: where MacQueen now?

Well - even though the film originally had a limited release and limited print runs and thus theoretically minimal handling of the 65mm negative, if the negative has not been stored properly it could be warped and faded. So it could in fact bee in dire condition. And the stereo mag masters...

OH lord - here we go again - self appointed know-it-alls who had nothing whatsoever to do with the restoration on PINOCCHIO but will tells us everything about how Disney butchers films and has flagrant disregard for the color and on and on. I had an opportunity to spend a few days with the team...

I was able to get an advance copy of the Blu-ray disc and it is stunning. Once again the team at Disney has got it right (along with the wizards at Lowry). This just leaps off the screen - and I am so happy that they found the RKO logo. I hear that the head of that group has also restored the...

To echo RAH's comments about the SB restoration team: at the very cool AMPAS presentation in July they said that they were granted access to and screened an IB print held at the Academy as a color reference. They also routinely go to the Disney Aniamtion Research Library to look at the cels on...

Remember that Super Technirama 70 was a presentation method and that the film originated on 35mm film. As Gluck points out - they scanned the negative so they could use all of the photographed picture area. The prints in the cinemas would have been truncated to be compatible with 35mm...

SLEEPING BEAUTY did have 70mm screenings - but the negative is 35mm, albeit running sideways through the camera. Look at the frame examples on the RAH article.

Agreed - many thanks RAH! A very informative interview with an obviously informed individual who can make this all easy to understand. I am glad that some key points are made by someone who knows that Technirama is a 35mm format (I cannot believe how many reports on-line about this disc claim...

Actually..... SLEEPING BEAUTY was photographed in the Technirama format which runs 35mm film sideways (like VistaVision) resulting in a negative frame that is 8 sprocket holes wide as opposed to 4 sprocket holes tall. In addition the system used a 1.5 anamorphic squeeze and then Technicolor...
