There is a NEW Gulliver's Travels (1939) Bluray out, that exhibits magnificent results, and all these due to a small studio (actually I think it's just one man) who loves animation and treats it with the respect it deserves!!
Here's the article on the release along with screenshots of this marvellous as it seems edition:

Grain intact: CHECK!
Colors true to the source: CHECK!
Maybe Disney should hire this man and make him the head of its restoration department, so that we stop being offered DNRed to death and scrubbed animation classics?

Have this bad boy on pre-order and should arrive anytime now! Take that Koch, THIS is how it's done!

I also pre-ordered this last August. I hope Steve Stanchfield doesn't forget me.
Mickeyfan1990, did you ever get the 35mm film sample Steve said we'd get if we pre-ordered? I'm still waiting for mine.

And when did you get it? Was it recently, or when you pre-ordered?Mickeyfan1990 wrote:I did!Jules wrote: Mickeyfan1990, did you ever get the 35mm film sample Steve said we'd get if we pre-ordered? I'm still waiting for mine.
I ask because I did not make my pre-order through Amazon.com, as it would not let me complete the checkout for some unfathomable reason having to do with my geographical location. I emailed Steve back in August and asked if I could pay him directly via PayPal, and he said OK. So I did, and I haven't heard from him since. I've sent him 5 or 6 emails during the last 5 months, but he never replied. I sent another one yesterday, once more to remind him of me (because I have a serious suspicion that he's forgotten), and to ask about the 35mm film sample (once more) which I never received in the mail.
It's getting really frustrating, and if I get no reply I think I'll have to contact Jerry Beck for help.

I got it when I first pre-ordered it last year.
I'm sorry you didn't get yours yet. Contact Steve at [email protected]

I got mine yesterday! As usual from Thunderbean, the transfer is a solid job.

Here's a review:

Those screenshots look most impressive!
Like the Disney Bluray that never wasn't (and never will be!)

I now left Steve a message on the Cartoon Research site itself. I hope he sees it.
