Unpublished biography about Walt Disney
I didn't know it existed, or why it hasn't been published yet. "Hubler was a freelance writer who wrote many magazine pieces and was the as-told-to coauthor of Ronald Reagan’s memoir Where’s the Rest of Me? He was the first author commissioned by Walt Disney Productions and the Disney family to...

Re: Disney Classics Censored In Some Markets?
Not only features, but also some cartoons. In Mickey's Trailer, two parts have been removed. The first is when Goofy sticks his fork in a light socket and turns his corncob into popcorn. The other is almost all of the downhill scene. And in Donald's Snow Fight, the last couple of seconds when Huey, ...

Re: DVD releases of movies from the Xerox era
Strange coincidence. A little thought about the article: "Disney’s leadership was eager to put CAPS to work — overeager, in fact. The software “wasn’t tested” and “wasn’t really finished” when Rescuers entered production, according to a member of CAPS’ team." The same article also says: &q...

Re: DVD releases of movies from the Xerox era
 I had wondered about the red and blue lines, but that makes sense that they came up invisible and that's why those colors were used. If the lines fading with APT wasn't part of the process, I wonder if it would have been used longer, or if CAPS was just inevitable. (I mean, for the preservation and...

Re: Zootopia 2
"Never pull a bunny's ears". I'm glad they decided to put some educational words into that scene. Too many people are not aware that you should never pull a rabbit's ears.

Re: Low productivity in the Walt Disney Feature Animation Florida building?
Yes, that's why many authors prefer to write on word processors that is only good for writing, and can't do anything else.
One has to wonder if the studio in Florida could have lasted a little longer had they produced more work in less time.

Low productivity in the Walt Disney Feature Animation Florida building?
I found this article written by Joseph Gilland: Today a young up-and-coming animation artist might ask one of the old-time animators (like me), Hey, do you ever animate while you are text messaging someone, downloading music to your iPod, updating your Facebook, checking your e-mail, reading an arti...

Re: DVD releases of movies from the Xerox era
It must have taken a lot of effort to write. In regard of the Xerox process, I always assumed it was the technology that created the thick black lines. But they were actually made by the animators (and the clean-up artists) themselves. At least in the finishing stages of the process. Everybody who h...

Re: Film Print Transfer DVDs from the CAPS Movies
Seems like even the first three Pixar movies are on the list. In the early days, buyers couldn't compare them with anything anyway, except VHS, so they were happy. And later they had an excuse to buy them again when Disney used a digital master. Not sure why the IMAX trailer of The Beauty and the Be...

Re: Film Print Transfer DVDs from the CAPS Movies
Thanks. So it's Rescuers Down Under, Pocahontas, The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, Hercules and Mulan that are telecine transfers (first DVD-releases). The list is a little shorter than I had expected, but still an interesting product of its time.

Re: The Black Cauldron just turned 30
Considering much to the anime that is popular in Japan, it is not surprising if the was popular there. And if it was a hit in France too, it only proves that it could have done much better in Europe if given a chance and been released in more countries. I have no experience with Legend of Zelda, so ...

Telecine transfer of CAPS movies directly to DVD
Today, master files are used when transferring a film in digital form to physical formats like DVD or Blu-ray. But, when Disney’s CAPS movies were first released on DVD, Disney initially relied on the established telecine process, where analog film prints were scanned and transferred to physical med...

Re: The Black Cauldron just turned 30
There were a lot of countries in Europe and other parts of the world where the movie was never released. Not sure if it was even available on VHS, or if you had to wait till it was released on DVD. So for many The Black Cauldron feels like one of Disney's unwanted children (like Glago's Guest). (As ...

Pencil tests
Pencil tests have always been a crucial part of the process when creating animated movies. Unfortunately, studios have not always done a great job preserving either the footage itself or the original pencil drawings made on paper. Today, these are highly sought after — partly because they represent ...

Re: The Black Hole (Remake)
The Black Hole is very different from Star Wars. Star Wars is an entire galaxy, with countless races, planets and civilizations. The Black Hole is about a single ship populated with humans, cyborgs and robots. That opens up for a more calm movie. But considering what is possible today, one could mak...

Yes, it is impossible to find much information about it. The only way would be to find a way to ask Steven Hahn or Jeffrey Scott about it. But since they worked with Roy Disney on it, and he Hahn felt confident enough to mention it on his page, they must have written an outline and maybe also made s...
