Hey George - is it true native NTSC? Or Pal interlaced? Reason I ask is because Kino is a Euro company and most of their restorations are done in PAL and converted. I'm still disappointed with my "Flying Deuces" from them that was cleaned up but displays some ghosting - I'd have been better buying i...

Glad to see my words swaying the crowd and proving the film to be a throwback kinda gem to the old days. :) Yep, I think I mentioned that this wasn't as obnoxious or tiring as Magoo, Gadget (or George Of The Jungle for that matter), though I found the inclusion of several movie references - the Disn...

There were some enthusiastic comments on that in the forum too...what's so great about the disc art? Am I missing something? :)

Well...yeah, okay...whatever. Hear what you want, I suppose. Donald clearly says "sez you", as evidenced by the spring, who is copying Donald's words from his perspective, returning with "say I". The sequence: As Donald is hammering the Spring into shape, the Spring taps Donald. Don: "What's the big...

Right, got'cha on that LMIII thing now. Well, remember that "DisneyToon" was a unit of executives and some creative people in Burbank, at WDTVA's building. The actual animation was handled between Japan and Australia (and at first in Canada but that studio shuttered during Return To Never-Land). Can...

Please tell me where to find that version...I'd very much like to hear this for myself. Someone once played me a version that "supposedly" featured that word, but it was clearly still "sez you!".

Sometimes, people hear what they'd like to think.

I don't know anything about the working practices in the unit, only a little on how they interacted with the satellites. It seemed "logical" that LMIII would be mostly outsourced...these films usually alternated between an Australian-animated one and a Japanese-animated one, even if they all carried...

It's been "sez you!" since I first saw the cartoon in 1979/1981 and every version since then.

Perhaps someone felt it would be "funnier" with "f-you" on the soundtrack and dubbed it in, thus how these myths get started, but the official Disney soundtracks never had that word on them.

That Jobs thing is old...why are they digging this up again now?

That was the <I>Disney-TS3</I> he was trying to get out of doing, not the Pixar-preferred version being made now.

BOBBYDAFAN's comments make the most sense here.

The latest on Doctor Parnassus is that Gilliam is talking to his friend Johnny Depp about stepping into Heath's role. Apparently, the Ledger character steps or falls through a magic mirror and could legitimately take on another look, meaning minimal reshoots and allowing another actor to fill in. De...

Then you need your ears cleaning as well as your clocks.

Vi, I trimmed the title of your thread to omit the question mark. As James has pushed us in the right direction, let's use this thread as a discussion point for the majority of LIVE-ACTION movie discussion. Naturally, there are some <I>big</I> films that warrant (and already have) their own threads,...
