OK then, Mr. Baffles, I am the one who started that thread, but I can't seem to find it now. How about posting a link to it for me. Thanks and I will promise to baffle you no more!

Hello. Just wondering if anyone has heard a release date for the newly-restored BD of "Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm." I know that it's supposed to be sometime this year, in Smilebox format.

Thanks for the kind words and support, Henry!

I, too, own that CD and it's absolutely wonderful and sounds like it was recorded "yesterday." Cinerama sound was far ahead of it's time and it really shows in this recording!!!

This is truly a dream come true for the ages and I absolutely can't wait. Thank you David and your team. You have transformed hope into glorious reality and there are legions of grateful fans who will be placing their orders @ Flicker Alley on day one! You have worked a MAJOR MIRACLE!

Just read the article and am absolutely, awesomely STUNNED AND THRILLED!! Actually, I never gave up hope that David Strohmeier and crew would find a way to restore the last, and I believe, the greatest of all the Cinerama films. (Thank you George Pal) And it looks like the dream is about to...

Here I be. I'm about to click on the link above as provided by OliverK. My heart is beating faster, so I'm about to be, I hope, THRILLED!

David: Do you have any plans as of now to restore this classic as you have so many other Cinerama productions? You are our only hope!

Well, I know that Mr. Strohmaier is involved with the Cinerama Dome, so since he referenced "Brothers Grimm", it could have been him. Here's hoping anyway!

The man with the mic wasn't David Strohmaier, was it?

OK, I guess I jumped to the incorrect conclusion. Just trying to be helpful.

The IS a CD of the soundtrack music for "7 Faces." Released by FSM a few years back and it's great, and comparable to the FSM release of "Brothers Grimm" score. It was a limited edition release, so may be a few copies out there somewhere.

The score was composed by Leigh Harline and is positively delightful!

Better than not watching (enjoying) it at all!

I have seen WWOTBG many times, having worked at a Cinerama theatre, and when I play my LD of this great film, it brings back those memories and it's anything but a "sad disappointment."

I disagree that this was just an "average" movie. It is way more than that! And, since it was produced and directed by George Pal, one of the all-time great fantasy-film directors, not to mention being the one of only two dramatic films shot in Cinerama, WWOTBG will always be on my Top Ten...

I'll bet you would have felt differently had you seen "Brothers Grimm" in the full glory of 3-strip Cinerama!

Well, I discovered that my Dish subscription didn't allow me to watch the TCM movie channel, so I'm just wondering if the showing of WWOTBG today was any different than previous showings on TCM. Your impressions?

What if the showing on TCM is presented in Smilebox and fully-restored? Wouldn't that be something!!

Not a big difference IMHO, but the color is somewhat better. I wonder if TCM does some tweaking to the video to improve it, at least a little. Also, is their source a DCP or what?

But that's just on the first few scenes, right? That was my understanding.

First of all, IMHO not every movie in one's collection has to be a "bit perfect" copy of the original. In fact, I still watch a number of DVDs which I have determined are good enough to enjoy without having to purchase another copy in "the next great format to come along." There's certainly...

Well, maybe not but if more signers can be "rounded up" who knows what could happen. Personally, I'm not ready to give up just yet!

Mike: I'm a little confused as to which recent post your "scolding" was directed. (Hopefully NOT #202)

I have mentioned this before, but there is a group called "Friends of the Brothers Grimm" who started a petition two years or so ago and amassed a few hundred signatures in hopes of persuading WB to restore WWOTBG. I think that petition is still on Facebook, so check it out and sign up!!

Some posts back, I made the suggestion of starting a "Go Fund Me" page to raise money, but no one seemed to be inspired to get involved. BTW, what is the difference between "crown funding" and "go fund me?" I have no experience with either.

Ed: I agree completely with your comments and I feel that "How The West Was Won" was more popular, first because it was a western and secondly, had way more stars to attract viewers and, let's face it, back in the day "starpower" sold tickets, Cinerama or not. I know I have been accused of...

Sorry for mis-spelling your name. I will write it on a chalk board 100 times: Strohmaier, Strohmaier, etc.,etc, and of course, etc (to quote Dr. Lao)

Mr. Strohmeier: If I may ask, what is the holdup, besides money, in restoring "Brothers Grimm." Thanks!

Well, I didn't make this up. Go to the TCM website and type "Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm" in their search bar. That should take you to the "Film Article" page which is divided into three sections. The middle section, I believe, contains the article which contains the incorrect...
