Re: Disney Releases overheard at lunch
The 2-disc Mary Poppins has one mess of a transfer. Looks like they made a sub-par dupe negative from color separations. Given that the entre animation sequence is one long optical, that has to be 5-6 generations from the negative. Yuck. Even Lowry Digital Images couldn't save the transfer, given how smeary parts of the image end up in fast movement.

Re: Disney Releases overheard at lunch
Why can't they remaster titles that were screwed up either via a bad transfer or censorship? Why can't they restore missing footage that was intended to be in the film but cut for various reasons? Why can't they release Song of the South?
They better get them right in Blu-Ray, because I don't want to have to buy them again.

Agreed. A proper transfer on Blu-Ray (or SD, of course) could look [insert fake cockney accent]

I would not go that far. The 2.0 mix on the 2-disc release is superior to both the "Disney Enhanced Home Theater Mix" 5.1 track it shared the disc with and the 5.1 track on the original single layered DVD. I would also maintain that the picture on the original single-layered release was even more problematic than the picture on the re-release, although both are a long way from being "practically perfect in every way".

If it comes out, is unedited, and looks good. I'll have a triple coronary.
If there's also a Blu-Ray...
