Obviously. However, they knew it would be projected on 70mm, so created the animation with that kind of detail in mind. It wasn't a situation like Fantasia 2000, which was not originally intended for IMAX and was blown up after the fact. As for re-rendering it, it would really depend upon whether or not they still had the original assets and whether or not those assets are even usable in their current software environment. I know they ran into a problem when they went to create the Blu-ray of Snow White because the original system they used to scan in the film for its initial digital restoration was no longer in use and they had to find a way to access the original image files. Hopefully, they learned a lesson from this and have converted any digital files to modern equivalents, but you might be surprised. From the reports of how the current digital projection has imperfections you'd normally see with a film print, it sounds like all they did was scan in a 70mm film element and create digital video files from that. There's nothing wrong with that. That's how we have digital versions of anything that was original created on film. The quality of the resulting transfer, however, depends upon the type of film element that was used (OCN, IP, IN, or at the bottom, projection print). Any film element that is scanned would need some form of digital clean-up to account for dust, scratches, fading, etc. It doesn't sound like Disney did that for Philharmagic. I don't have current first-hand experience with seeing it, so others will have to throw in their experiences.
It sounds like the polarizing filter on one of the projectors was out of alignment.
actually a home improvement show with the muppets sounds hilarious, theyd start with a house that needed updated and end up with rubble.. or they could do one of those shows where they come to your home to remodel one room... and the hijinks begin
wow, that's bad
Aren't all of those '4-D' ?
Pass. An IP refresh for the 50th is proposed.
but is it staying a 3D movie? Too soon to ask? lol. I had to try I have an idea, but I'm probably wrong.
Yes. Well, 1/3 3D.I know I'll probably get a "pass"
Eh. I like it the way it is and would prefer that they just properly maintain it.
I see what you're saying, but maintaining the quality of the projectors and keeping the show from being blurry shouldn't count as additional funding.
