Actually, it's rather an atrocity that the official restoration looks so bad. It should have looked as good as the 35mm fan scan, and potentially even better. Warner Brothers destroyed the colors during their remastering process.
@@diazbrothersyoutube No, not in the case of most of the remasters slated for Golden Collection Vol. 2. A few were Metrocolor prints, but most of them were from better-quality sources, and the colors still look awful as in the above example. A member of the IAD forums laid out a detailed analysis/theory for why the colors in Warner Brothers' later MGM cartoon remasters (ca. 2012 onwards) looks so terrible and overly dark. Briefly, it seems to be caused by Warner using a digital cleanup software which flattens and simplifies the color palette. The compromise, apparently, is that when flattening the colors, this software is able to remove dust and dirt from the picture without erasing line art. So in that particular sense, it's arguably better than DVNR. But the damage this cleanup process does to the original colors is just heartbreaking. It would have been better if Warner had released the raw scans without any remastering at all.
I have three questions. Does the 35mm print have the original titles or the reissue titles? How did you get early access to Thunderbean's restoration of Texas Tom with Original Titles? Is it possible to write emails to Steve Stanchfield (Founder of Thunderbean) to download video files of his scans of old cartoons or not?
1. The 35mm has reissue titles, 16mm has originals 2. I have some of Thunderbean's elusive "Special Discs" exclusively sold at the Thunderbean Shop. ( thunderbeanshop.com/ ) All Special Discs are elusive and aren't sold in places like Amazon unlike their main-line public domain releases. 3. I have contacted Steve Stanchfield via email for scanning one of my 16mm film reels (for the Tom and Jerry Blu-Ray). I asked him for a video file of the scan, but I haven't heard updates on the scan for a few months. I'm not sure if you're able to email Steve for his other cartoon scans, but you might be able to as long as you don't upload them publicly.
They had a print and released it on their "special discs" which aren't their major releases. They're only sold on the Thunderbean shop and aren't available on other sites like Amazon

35mm definitely the best looking one. The others look too dark, including the official restoration.
It's incredible how good the 35mm looks.
same here

@@Mesterius1 it's because they used the Metrocolor prints instead of Technicolor prints

Of the four restorations, the Thunderbean restoration had original titles, unless the 16mm print scan from the past year has them too
the two clips of the 16mm film are the same print
@@diazbrothersyoutube yeah, though do wish an original 35 shows up since it would be the best we will get assuming there’s no splices or issues

How was Thunderbean allowed to use Tom and Jerry?
