When they advertise movies (i.e. cartoons by Disney) as being restored, what is it they do to restore them?

Question

Just curious.

Answer 1

it's a fairly complicated process. Original film was created frame by frame with painted "cels". If the film is intact, it can be restored - and I don' t know how - but you should be able to look it up.
If the original film is not restorable, but they still have the "cels" and backgrounds and they are in good shape, they can be re photographed - an extremely painstaking process.
I understand that thousands of movies, both animated and live action, are languishing in production companies warehouses, and many are slowly deteriorating. There is a group suposedly, who is championing the cause of saving film, but it's difficult when the rights are owned by the production companies who are storing them.

Answer 2

that means that most of the time they try and find an original copy of the film. its difficult for older movies because the film cells get destroyed by oxygen over time. the biggest two things that they do when they restore films is sound and picture quality. this is something that they've always done but until recently hasnt been worth a thing. computers can make the colors in a disney cartoon more vibrant and clear than they may have actually been in the original. the little hairs and dust that you see in the theater are all removed. the sound is enhanced and new surround sound tracks are added to the dvds. its pretty amazing how they can make the film look better than ever.

Answer 3

Remaster (and its derivations, frequently found in the phrases digitally remastered or digital remastering) is a word and concept that emerged out of the digital age, although it had existed before then. Frequently trumpeted with regard to CD and DVD releases, remastering has become a powerful buzzword in multimedia industries, and it generally implies some sort of upgrade to a previous, existing product (frequently designed to encourage people to buy a new version of something they already own). For example, the reissue boom that began in the mid-nineties saw remastered versions of the back-catalogues of The Who, The Byrds and others, while remastered editions of first-generation DVD releases are similarly bestsellers. Despite its status as an industry buzzword, however, remastering actually refers to a fairly distinct process, one which does not inherently include the notion of a positive upgrade.
