And while I'm at it -- how come every new Disney release says "Restored" or
"remastered" or whatever? I see Mary Poppins is coming out "restored to
original brillience"? You mean the laserdisc I have, which came out 2 years
ago, and says Digital HiFi, Digitally Remastered Video" isn't as good? Bambi
was recently hyped as a "fully restored" version, but so was the one that
came out 6 years ago! I think what's going on is that Disney knows lots of
people bought Bambi when it came out back then, or they already have the
always available Mary Poppins, and they now need a "hook" tn encourage new
sales. So words like "remastered" are hyped now. Sure they were remastered
-- 6 years ago. You can only get so good generating video copies off a film
master. After that, it's all hype.
By 2005, they'll have stickers on boxes saying "All new, digital remastering
of formerly digitally remastered soundtrack in THX, Dolby, surround with
super deluxe "MIckeyTrack" signal enhancement layered in cluster
syncro-quadraphonic 0db anti-noise aliasing, with super deluxe, all new
"UltraColor" PlutoVision enhanced digitally remixed video with all new
micro-grained zero-transform color renderment hand performed on every frame,
now presented in Crystalsphere(TM) SuperUltraPixelVison." And it'll be the
same tape you could get in 1992.
What can I say...
