Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 They just re-released the old film, why would they do so again?There's a market for the original versions yes, but it's a niche market compared to the number Disney is aiming for right now.Nobody wants them old ghetto versions.

TownerFan 4,983 Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Which logo did they delete? I haven't seen Toy Story.The Pixar logo.Star Wars is no more tied with 20th Century Fox.TownerFan did you read what I quoted?Yeah, read it after I posted, sorry.I guess there is still some tangled situation when it comes to rights to the previous 6 films. You're probably correct that digital distribution rights are handled separately than home video and theatrical ones, so it could be that any of the new release of the older films in theaters and physical media will carry the Fox logo until 2020. That's why I think Disney will probably wait until then to re-release it on Blu-ray and DVD, but maybe they're working already with Fox on some sort of agreement. That being said, I think it's unlikely the Fox fanfare will still play under the Lucasfilm logo.There was a rumor not too long ago on the FSM board from someone working on a restoration of the original trilogy in 4K, but he told they were working on Special Edition cuts, not the original theatrical ones. But maybe it was just bogus rumor.We'll see what will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbs 14,313 Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 My question is who is taking the profits of the current blu-ray set? I assume Fox are still selling the films on home video; wouldn't they be taking the profits of all currently released home video formats of the films?It might be a case that all future home video release profits go directly to Disney and Lucasfilm, but everything currently available remains Fox's property.

mrbellamy 6,286 Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Which logo did they delete? I haven't seen Toy Story.The Pixar logo.So Pixar didn't make it anymore?Ok, I was wrong.They deleted the old Pixar-y Walt Disney logo and put the new Walt Disney logo.Here's how it was originally: (I think before this, was the Pixar Logo (or maybe not, i don't remember, just found a VHS opening that doesn't have the Pixar Logo)I seem to remember Pixar has always had the little lamp as its logo, but I'm not sure if it started with Toy Story or later. That original CG Disney castle I don't think was meant to be a Pixar logo, necessarily, but just to announce it as the first CG animated movie, I'm not sure that it was ever used again and I have no idea who thought it was a good idea to remove it. That was completely part of the film and as ET says the new edit is awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure about other movies(at 10.27'')https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-SZQLiPaZABut only in Toy Story it was part of the film, and not just a seperate logo in front of the film.

Luke Skywalker 1,795 Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Awful....Also the inlcusion of the new disney logo on the lion king, the fanfare eliminates (or mutes) the night savanah sound (birds, crickets, lion road) over a black screen. Which makes the start of the music at sunrise more impactul and beautiful...I think in the Spanish track, the logo is silent and you can hear the sounds...

I'm sure the motivation is to maintain a consistent brand...but people don't take kindly to a brand that messes with their memories.Disney, for some reason think their older classics need logo updating. They kept the blue castle logo for The Little Mermaid 2006 Platinum release, but for last year's Blu-ray they replaced it with the new logo. They also changed the timing of the main titles.But they're also inconsistent with them. The Black Cauldron wasn't subjected to the logo swapping.

crumbs 14,313 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Mayhew could retire and they'd still keep the character going. I fully expect Chewbacca will appear in the inevitable X-XI-XII trilogy around 2025. Probably alongside R2, 3P0 and Luke if Anthony Daniels and Mark Hamill remain in good health (and Luke doesn't get killed off ala Vader in VI).

I watch them only because they're the only versions on Netflix. They're...tasteful, yes, but I'd rather just watch the cheesy original. Improve the image quality, even recomposite some effects elements if you must, but don't replace visual effects altogether. I gotta give credit where credit is due, though - I really like the re-recorded main titles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
