I have had the issue on one disc (a non-Criterion title). The few I have which were pressed in Germany have all been spotless.

Mexico.

Maybe they could do a collection of all of Lamorisse’s films?

Egbert Souse · 09-15-2023, 09:54 PM

Speaking of Paddle to the Sea, I'd love for someone to do a collection of Bill Mason's NFB work. His wildlife films are wonderful to vibe out to.

Confession: When I first saw the picture of the balloons, my first thought was that they're doing a new release of Pixar's Up.

Welp, 1200 will be at least The Red Balloon, at most a collection of Lamorisse’s work. Weird, because I swear I saw this on Blu-ray when I was at B&N in July.

As for the rest, let’s hope we get Kong for the 90th and Garrett for the 50th, since WB won’t do either.

Balloons of course mean It super cut!

Which speaking of, at the very least Disney should consider Criterion releasing at least *1* of their titles a year (Disney, Pixar or otherwise).

They did have Floyd Norman in the Criterion closet and he is a Disney animator who worked on the Jungle Book among others. Seems like they might interview him for UP.

Did anyone ever do anything, try anything, get any answers that you know of?

They also have (on the Criterion Channel) a collection of Roger Corman Edgar Allan Poe films, and interviews with Corman from 2017 where he's talking generally about his career and specifically about Masque of the Red Death, which Corman rates as the best (I agree).

Has Nicholas Roeg been seen in the Criterion lobby anytime recently?

I can see Disney letting Criterion have Fantasia since it's the most "arthouse" Disney feature and they're more likely to include multiple cuts and mixes .

He passed away in 2018, so probably not any time soon.

The guy who runs Wellesnet has connections and has answered questions about it over the years.

Sifox211 · 09-16-2023, 10:56 AM

All I want for Christmas is...

A Powell and Pressburger B&W films box set... preferably in 4K

Doomhunter · 09-16-2023, 12:03 PM

It would be nice if Criterion could release Harold Lloyd’s Why Worry, Dr. Jack, and Hot Water on blu ray

Bolo Seagull · 09-16-2023, 01:11 PM

Does anybody know what is up with the rights to 'Wake In Fright'? There's a bluray that is out of print. Could the rights be got by Criterion?
