Actually, those aren't direct screencaps from the restoration; they're just old publicity photos. Disney always releases stock publicity photos for their DVDs so that reviewers and articles covering the release can put some media into their pieces.yukitora wrote:There IS more picture, both in width and height. Amazing, even if it's not OAR...
The picture quality looks amazing. Very vibrant, maybe too vibrant, but if I'm in a gloomy mood I can just look at the darker S.E. version.
Well, if one is sticking with STANDARD DVD and hoping they can at least be bothered to make the Platinum AS GOOD AS the previous 2-disc Sleeping Beauty release on standard DVD, this could be a cause for concern.Disneykid wrote:I, personally, don't think there's any reason to panic...yet. Disney's Cine Explore covers a lot of ground and is where the bulk of the bonus material will lie. Cars and Ratatouille's Cine Explore sections had about an hour and a half's worth of supplements each. I suspect most of the 2003 SE content for Sleeping Beauty (along with some new featurettes) will be found within Cine Explore. The frustrating thing is that Disney won't tell us specifically what this film's Cine Explore will contain.
Are you sure? I've never seen those pictures before, and they don't look old. They look so new and bright and terrific. It even shows how Aurora's blue is a drearier, sadder, darker color marking her emotion and situation until it becomes bright, happy pink again, and why pink was at first a boy's color as it marked fierceness and boldness. Maybe that's why Flora's the leader and kind of defeats the dragon more. Notice, two people in red capes are the main ones defeating the villain.Disneykid wrote:Actually, those aren't direct screencaps from the restoration; they're just old publicity photos.

Of course, it still opens up the can of worms regarding whether or not the publicity stills are taken from the film, or redrawn bits. And later in the thread, MichaeLeah points out that the image would still be incomplete as it only would measure 1.5:1 and not 1.66:1, like The Rescuers.In [url=http://www.ultimatedisney.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=269265#269265]An Old 2006 Thread[/url] I wrote:

Side frame: Publicity Still from IGN, accidentally mis-aligned by me...
Regardless of the fact that it's a publicity still, it's proof that there's more beyond the animated frames we get on VHS and DVD. And why else would Disney go out of their way to provide *more* image in a publicity still than in the actual film cel?
Be concerned already.

The stuff on the Sleeping Beauty SE isn't stuff that fits in with the Cine Explore feature. The SB SE features were largely long running archive footage. Cine Explore shows images on screen over a commentary and also branches out to short featurettes (imagine the Atlantis DVD or the Dinosaur DVD). Now Bonus View is implemented, its possible branching may be removed, and the short featurettes simply displayed as smaller picture in picture content though.Luckilly for me I have the 2003 SE , but if I didn't, I'd be pretty pissed at the idea that the bulk of the meaty supliments on the Platinum could be Blue Ray exclusive via the "Cine Explore" feature.
The Platinum line still has credibility? That's news for me. Personally, when Disney were making their Vault Disney titles, and stuff like the awesome Atlantis: The Lost Empire 2 discer (or even as recently as the international Lilo and Stitch 2 discer) the Platinum line had already lost its credibility.If they go ahead and half ass the STANDARD DVD Platinum in a shameless attempt to get people to buy blue rays (cough Cars, Ratatouille) it will be a slap in the face to all the people who have supported their DVD releases all these years. This is a Platinum title, and even the standard version should be BETTER than the already solid 2-disc SE!
If they have weaker supplimental material on the standard Platinum than on the SE, it will truly be a sign that Disney doesn't give a darn about standard DVD or the people who are sticking with it. It will make the Platinum "line" lose any credibility it had left. And it will make me more determined than ever to stick with standard def and tell BVHE where they can SHOVE their blue ray schemes to make us switch!
Yes, I know the quality of Disney DVD has been declining in general ever since the Tarzan 1 disc fiasco, and obviously the Platinums have declined compared to say, Snow White and Aladdin (cough, Peter Pan "read along" feature????) . But still, I think we would all agree that whether each Platinum was as good as it could/should be, they each at least represented the best release of that title so far on DVD. Speculation that the meaty bonus features on SB would be found in the Cine Explore feature on Blue Ray (and presumably NOT on the standard) is what I meant by concern - that this could theoretically be the first Platinum DVD to not be more definitive than it's previous edition.2099net wrote:Be concerned already.

Well, I was responding to the speculation posted above by Disneykid that possibly the extras on the SE would be part of Cine Explore2099net wrote:

Yes, I know it's just a name. I don't care if they call it Platinum, Ambrosia, Copper, or Puce, I just want solid 2-disc editions with lots of substantial bonus features.2099net wrote:

Really people, they're just pointless labels! I mean, how can anyone think that they're more after recent Platinum editions like Peter Pan (UGH!) or 101 Dalmations (first disc uses little more than half the capacity of a DVD9, and the second disc is just okay, but also filled with those stupid virtual puppies).
It might be a Digital Copy (like in the footsteps of The Nightmare Before Christmas...)CornyCollins wrote:That's really strange they would include a DVD with the Blu-Ray...It might be just promo...
Given the fact that Lady and the Tramp got one (though they got the wrong one), I have a feeling Disney may do the same for Sleeping Beauty, in order to appease the few 4:3 fans that are left in the world (and their kids).DarthPrime wrote:However will the Platinum DVD also include a pan and scan 1.33:1 version too like the previous SE?
It'll also be unpopular with those of us expecting the 2.25:1 Technirama negative! (Of course, I'd be just as satisfied with the 2.20:1 70mm print)DarthPrime wrote:I know the 2.55:1 ratio will be very unpopular with a lot of people on their older SDTVs.
