A replica of The Devil's Eye? never heard of that, was it a real diamond?SilverWook said:I presume those infamous frames in The Rescuers that triggered a recall of the VHS will not be restored?
Anyone else remember a contest from when the first film came out where one of the prizes was a replica of The Devil's Eye? I always wondered if it looked like the gem in the movie.
I don't remember that. Please enlighten me, you've got me curious.darkrock17 said:A replica of The Devil's Eye? never heard of that, was it a real diamond?
That's what I've wondered all these years. A real gem that big would have been more costly than an all expenses paid trip to Disneyworld.(Which I think was one of the other prizes.) Some obsessive Disneyana collector must know...darkrock17 said:A replica of The Devil's Eye? never heard of that, was it a real diamond?
so well done,ut itink Disney's better limited use was the clock towerin The Great Mouse Dective, that whole sequence is just outstandingOriginally Posted by Sam Favate /t/321177/the-rescuers-35th-anniversary-edition-and-the-rescuers-down-under-blu-ray-available-for-preorder-on-amazon#post_3934672
Both are good films (not great). Down Under has some really nice animation, and someone correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't it one of the first times computers were used in the animation process? Those sweeping views of the scenery?
I'm pretty sure The Black Cauldron used CGI for the one shot of all the "fake" cauldrons flying around and taking off into the distance.Sam Favate said:Both are good films (not great).

The frames of which you speak were not on the initial 1992 Laserdisc or VHS releases, but they were on the January 1999 VHS and Laserdisc. The Laserdisc street date was a week or two after the VHS, and it was about a week or so after the VHS was released that the recall happened. The Laserdisc never even hit store shelves, although distributors had received stock. I had mine preordered so they sent it to me. I wonder how many collectors got their hands on one. Not many people seem to know about the recall or naughty frames, and even fewer seem to know why they are there on the 1999 release but are not on the 1992 edition.darkrock17 said:A replica of The Devil's Eye? never heard of that, was it a real diamond?
I lucked out in getting a sealed copy on Ebay at the time. Just like that recalled Best of Roger Rabbit disc, Disney just wasn't fast enough.Chuck Pennington said:The frames of which you speak were not on the initial 1992 Laserdisc or VHS releases, but they were on the January 1999 VHS and Laserdisc.

Was The Rescuers Dolby on its original release?
Yeah Fox and the Hound was probably mono originally. It has a RCA Photophone credit (the last film I think to have such a thing) instead of a Dolby credit.Originally Posted by MatthewA /t/321177/the-rescuers-35th-anniversary-edition-and-the-rescuers-down-under-blu-ray-available-for-preorder-on-amazon#post_3949685
No. I don't think any of the animated films got Dolby soundtracks until The Black Cauldron, although I have heard conflicting reports on whether The Fox and the Hound was.
