I've finally got the Sleeping Beauty film scans uploaded.

Sleeping Beauty frame1
Sleeping Beauty frame2
Sleeping Beauty frame3
Sleeping Beauty frame4
Sleeping Beauty frame5
Sleeping Beauty frame6
Sleeping Beauty frame7
Sleeping Beauty frame8

They are taken from the non-anamorphic trailer, where the OAR has been recomposed to about 1:66:1/1:85:1.
What is does show is the vertical picture information matted out of the R1 & R2 dvd.

Happy compairing!

Not to criticize, but to poke a little fun in friendly fashion (we kid because we love), I have to say that I really like the term "widescreen audio." I believe that makes P&S transfers "near field images," what?

Ah well -- the term gets the point across, which is all that matters. But I don't understand just what he means by "upgrade" -- if he means the tracks were cleaned of hiss and deterioration, great, but if he means, by upgrade, "remix," then purists may balk.

Thanks to Simon for the frame captures, by the way.

I checked this out last night. Wow, what a gorgeous transfer! I did compare it to my laserdisc, and there is slightly more information on the laser, but it's barely noticable. I did think that the Dolby Digital on the laser had a little bit more punch, but the DVD performed admirably. But the colors on the DVD! And the lack of noise! The laser had a lot of noisy reds, and the DVD was just about pefect in this regard. The movie itself is pretty mellow for a Disney, and then no punches are pulled for the dynamite finale. The ending battle with the dragon is probably my favorite scene from a Disney classic.

An all around great DVD.

Larry,

thanks for your comments...especially comparing the 5.1 AC-3 on the LD to the 5.1 on the DVD. I had intended to make that comparison yesterday at my friend's house (where my LD player with the RF output lives) but he's without power from the Hurricane and it might not be back for a while...

Glad you like the picture. Really puts that laserdisc to shame...doesn't it?

It isn't even a close contest!

Right now, they're showing Sleeping Beauty on ABC in HD and in OAR, and the picture quality is incredible! I've never seen it before, but now, I may have to pick up the DVD.
