An end of an era . . . .

To me the most beautiful piece of animation ever made. Without the help of any of the technical advances available today the level of craftmanship is unmatched. The background paintings are so exquisitely "rendered" that at one time there was a "mini" mutiny from the animators against Eyvind Earle who was the supervisor of backgrounds and characters. They are having a hard time "blending" the animations.

Widely considered to be the last movie from the studio's "Golden Age", the last to be made with hand-inked cels. With the direction W. Disney want to take on this movie, it took six years and $6 million. Shot in 70mm Super Technirama 70 process with "6 channel stereophic surround", a first for an animated feature. The studio almost went bankrupt because of the spiraling cost. I think one of the directors got fired for that.

Sleeping Beauty was scanned at 4K resolution then downrezzed to 2K for Blu-ray. Lowry Digital did the restoration including DNR. The resulting image is pristine, sharp and detailed picture. The colors may not have the "gradiations" like we see on modern hand drawn animations, nevertheless it doesn't detract at all with the overall PQ. There are some scenes that looks like it is out of focus but thats just me nitpicking

When you hear the score do you associate it with this movie or the ballet? The AQ especially the musical score is so good compared to the old DVD is not even funny. From the VHS copy I watched a loooooong time ago, the digital stereo sound from my laserdisc, the improvement is night and day.

Disney's first "Platinum Edition" for Blu-ray is a winner. And if you go ahead and explore all the extras you will realize they don't hold back. For most people with kids the interactivity can be used to baby sit With all that stuff they crammed in there the little ones can spend hours playing with it. More hours if you are connected to the internetS

Take a good look at the backgrounds. With the available technology we have right now, our calibrated viewing set and HD format this is the first time we are seeing the real movie in its entirety. Nothing is cropped or blurred (due to the limitation of the DVD format).

If I'm going to rank these restored catalogs its going to be like this:

1. How The West Was Won

2. Sleeping Beauty

3. Grand Prix

4. The Searchers

Looking forward to your impressions and pics, Xylon! Anyway, here are my thoughts...

This disc looks absolutely amazing. So detailed, so clear. I found myself looking at the backgrounds a lot because they were so beautifully rendered.

What this disc doesn't seem to look like is film. Its been polished and buffed to an inch of its life, and is a super-clean and colorful image. But there's nothing that says its film to me - it looks almost like digital animation.

I know this film was shot on 70mm which might account for the absence of grain. One of the endless previews before you can get to the menu (you have to click through them or fast forward rather than being able to hit the menu key - BOO) showed images from upcoming Disney films, like Pinocchio, which did have a look of grain.

So - what's on this Blu-ray disc looks phenomenal. But how much does it look like what theatergoers saw back in the fifties?

Unbelievable. I was going to send a PM if you were going to do this for Sleeping Beauty. Guess I got my answer!

There has been much debate about the proper restoration of cell animation. I beleive it was a Disney stance that the film was not the true medium, and the cell art, sans film artifacts, was closer to the artists true intent. I do not know if that is still their stance, but I don't see the two sides of that argument ever coming close to an agreement.

It's supposed to look-like cell art captured on 70mm film.
Just to confuse everyone! ;-)

Oh yeah & thanks Xylon; looking forward too the rest of the pics!

It was photographed in the 35 mm 8-perf Technirama process and optically enlarged to 70 mm 5-perf prints for exhibition at cinema's.

Super Technirama didn't specifically shoot directly to 65mm film.

Is Pinocchio's OAR 4:3 or 1.78? Anyone?

The Platinum DVD so far doesn't look to shabby in comparison to the BD. It will be interesting to see more.

1.37:1 which is roughly 4:3 - It was released in 1940 well before widescreen productions became the norm.

It's because it's not moving. IMHO DVD always look better in Screenshot than moving because you can't see the arfacting moving. Same with some blu-rays..

The backgrounds are really key to this film. And the Platinum DVD, while very nice, just doesn't come close to this HD presentation.

Standouts (so far, I'm watching now)...

- The shrunk fairies decided what to do, look at the cup and spoon.
- The "fleeing-the-castle" scene, the pock marks in the stonework. Not only shows the detail of HD, but the attention paid by the artists.
- The whole Forrest sequence when Aurora wanders out... look at the trees, and pay attention.
- The first entry into Maleficent's castle, where they face the drawbridge.

The original caps in this thread are actually the softest scenes. The animation itself is where the disc really shines.

It's like owning a work of Fine Art. We are so blessed to have a medium like Blu-ray, especially when it's used to its fullest and shows off such magnificent artwork. I love Eyvind Earle's style!

That doesn't take away from what Xylon is trying to do as I understand to some extent his intent, but with regards to the last two posts, then within reason the screen caps really do nothing for true accuracy.

I too and a little concerned with how Pinocchio looked in the previews; but then again the original bluray previews for Sleeping Beauty had a little skeptical at first but now I see how truly amazing this film is. It is like each frame is a small masterpiece unto itself. Truly Incredible and a must have for any Bluray Library.
I'm wondering if Pinocchio is just that way, grainy, I'm betting Snow White may come out the same way. But they haven't finished restoring yet so we'll see. Also why did they show Pinocchio in 4:3 and not widescreen, is it because they haven't shown us any restored film yet?

Do you think they can make it into widescreen w/o stretching of course? Do you think the original cells are wider than the movie?

Pinnochio shown in anything other than 1.33:1/1.37:1 would be an abomination.

No it's not intended to be shown widescreen.

Same goes for Disneys Snow White...Fantasia....Bambi and Dumbo among others.

I'm for OAR all the way....I made the mistake years ago of buying The Evil Dead in a butchered 16/9 aspect ratio ( should be 4/3 ) and even though it was director approved it just sucked and had too much information missing top and bottom of the frame.

Wow i'm mentioning Evil Dead in a Disney thread....Walt would not be pleased.

I am actually picking this one up...Big Disney fan before they went all CGI.....Glad to see the Pixar owners decided to allow hand drawn animation at the studio again when their head ( apple head ? ) became CEO at the company.

9. Film Process: Super Technirama 70 - uses two 35mm film prints to create a 70mm film. Its aspect ratio is 2.35:1. Sleeping Beauty was the first Disney animated feature in 70mm film.

http://www.widescreenmuseum.com/widescreen/wingtr3.htm

"The camera uses an entirely new type of anamorphic (squeeze) lens and utilizes a double-frame negative which passes horizontally through the camera. The resulting image on the screen, after being printed on 70-millimeter film, has no "separation lines" and is equally brilliant and undistorted when viewed from any seat in the theatre, no matter how far to the side or how far up front the seat
may be."

Super Technirama 70

By 1958, 70mm was becoming well established, helped by the availability of multi-purpose 70mm/35mm dual gauge projectors. 65mm/70mm processing and printing facilities were now being installed in Technicolor's London and Rome laboratories. The dye-transfer system was never adopted to make 70mm prints, with all Technicolor's 70mm prints being made directly on to Eastman Color positive print film. The first Technirama 70mm print was made for Walt Disney. Always closely associated with Technicolor, they had made their cartoon feature "Sleeping Beauty" (1959) in Technirama and wanted to give it the added status of a 70mm release. It was photographed in the Technirama format using a cartoon camera which photographed each of the cells three times through red, green and blue filters in sequence along a single black and white negative. The squeeze was incorporated by a lens supplied by Panavision and this was to form the basis of the printer lens needed to make the 70mm print. Similar lenses were also obtained from Cooke Taylor-Hobson.
