Are you sure it's not a background painting (the mother's body doesn't move during the the entire scene so it's possible)? In any case, the "noise" appears steady and has the apearance of texture on my screen...not unlike a pastel drawing or water color over a textured piece of paper. Even it is...

That's the way I try to personally evaluate "art" myself...what did the artist *intend* to do? Whether I like the color blue or not is irrelevant...if the artist did a good job making blue, and that was their goal...then they succeeded. Whether I "like" it may be another matter...but I...

The "bum-bum!..." bass-rythm for the "evil" humans in the forest sounds *very* much like the theme in Jaws...I think the link is not coincidence!

P.S. everyone, I just dug through my promo materials and found some VERY interesting documentation about the video and audio restoration...technical details that will be of great interest to HTF members...I'll try to get it transcribed and posted here soon.

DaveF, I wouldn't argue that Bambi has a gripping story. I agree about the "static" feel of many of the characters. I view Bambi (as you also mention) as an art-film. Best watched through "Fantiasia" eyes for the work of visual poetry that it is...with some very moving moments if you let...

Would have liked to have seen the original RKO logo myself (wasn't that there on Snow White?) I'm so glad you all are enjoying this DVD as much as I am. I may try to watch it again tonight with friends if I get enough work done on my Incredibles review! -dave :)

Brain, I think that the Lowry team adapt their "restoration" to the desires of their clients. If the content owners want a grain-free image, that's what they get. If they want to fix film scratches and dust, but leave grain, that's what they get. Color correction...etc. What Lowry did on...

Jay, thanks for your well informed remarks. I'll update accordingly. To everyone participating here, Thank-you so much for your valuable and insightful comments. It's this type of high-level (and civil) debate that really makes reading threads like this at HTF educational as well as...

The film grain that was removed was inherent to the original 3-strip Technicolor negatives (not a subsequent print)...because that was the "film source" they used to do the digital capture (like Singing in the Rain). All great comments!

p.s. I'll be very curious about all of your impressions about the soundtracks (5.1 and original mono) as well as the "grain" thing once you have a chance to do some critical evaluation... dave :)

I should update my review to address this particular issue...you're right...that was the debate when the LD was produced...but what's more important (that I didn't make clear in the review when first posted) is that the DVD also has this "frozen background" effect...however...don't be too quick...

Ermest, Yeah, myself and other reviewers are taking the info in the bonus-material at face value with the multiplane camer thing. yes I *do* have that disc and remember that show now that you remind me! I'll be sure to update...and no problem here...correct away...let's get this review...

You're absolutely right. In many ways, film-grain gives a kind of "life" to an image...and can also add to the illusion that the event was one that was "photographed" rather than animated. Your impressions about that scene are spot-on. Though one could argue that the artistic intent of that...
