In the two part 'Full House' Disney World trip episodes - there's a tongue in cheek reference to the movie and him

Aladdin is my favorite animated Disney movie . Can't wait to add this to my Blu-ray library.

Mine too!

If you want to watch Aladdin with the original Disney logo and in 1:66:1 then redeem the code included with the disc and watch it on Vudu. Their version is (at least for now) the old 1:66:1 transfer. Please note that it looks inferior to the newer transfer on the Blu-ray disc.

Sure it does...

Edge enhancement, aliasing and artifacts on a CAPS film so popular? Yeah, these are big problems comparatively and rolling your eyes isn't gonna rectify those.

Mine was the end one, with Robin lampshading (TvTropes lingo for offhand commenting on something previous) his usual comedy, followed by mimicking police. Plus a Fantasia reference!

"Not since the dancing mushrooms have we seen this much intensity."

Yeah!, this final dialog is TOO funny, the Fantasia's dancing mushrooms are crazy.

Even in my 180" projection screen viewed from only 6 feets away, this blu-ray movie looks amazing and sharp to me. Anyway...

It could look phenomenal exactly because it is a digital file and Disney has no shortage of great-looking CAPS films (BatB, Fantasia 2000, Lion King, Pocahontas). It just makes whatever misfire even bigger.

Anyway, I am not trying to convince anyone, or change anyone's opinion about the release. It's a good release overall. I just think it could be amazing.

Have you even watched it yet? Or just going off of screen grabs? Do you think these "problems" will be noticeable to you or the general public while watching the film in motion?

The transfer seems identical to the one used on the international release. I am definitely gonna check my US disc and compare it to the rest but I have no doubt that it uses the exact same transfer. Disney nearly always does that with its classics.

Edge enhancement, aliasing and artifacts baked into a CAPS film from 1992. It's a direct digital transfer. Whatever problems you see will always be there.


So yes, an eyeroll is appropriate. It's like complaining about grain or other limitations in other productions.

Source??

And why didn't Beauty and the Beast have those technical limitations? Edge enhancement *, noticeable aliasing (I actually believe all of these films have it on a small degree if you look close enough)..

*To be precise, someone more knowledgeable than me one these matters said that the artifacts that look like EE could actually be products of a poor down-conversion from the original files so, there's that..

Are the problems that noticeable to detract from the experience while watching the film in motion as intended? I'm just asking because of the obsessive nitpicking that goes on these days. It seems like even reviewers will admit of a few "flaws" but admit they aren't really noticeable unless your specifically looking very hard for them or freezing a frame. Don't get me wrong, there are some transfers that are definitely problematic but I doubt this is one of them. As a film fan, I'm glad that we are able to purchase movies for cheaper than they've ever been on TVs that are bigger, better, and cheaper than ever. The amount of nitpicking on some titles amuses me however. We have it so much better these days yet people now want to screen grab a movie and absolutely pick it apart. I really wonder how some people can even enjoy movies these days with the constant complaining.

It's possible the transfer on Vudu could be replaced in the future.

Wouldn't the uk disc have the old Disney logo? Maybe the old aspect ratio?

I remember that the artifacts (EE/down-conversion??) were noticeable after I first spotted them. So, to me, they do take away from the experience but I imagine that there are people that would never notice it.

It's reported to have the current logo, 1.85:1, and 5.1 sound.
