Contrary to popular belief, Oliver & Company by Walt Disney Pictures was not released from its original 1988 35mm film flat negative on all home video releases. The film uses the 1996 remastered 35mm print for its theatrical rerelease . They did not release the original film print from the 1988 original release was because Disney had a policy of moratorium of only earning revenue from older movies when they are released. That is why it never went on home video in 1989 because of revenue risks. But when The Little Mermaid was released, that all changed. While the film itself is same in content and length (no deleted scenes) in both rereleases, the home video version keeps the 1996 remaster to this day even on bluray. However somehow Disney used the original 1988 35mm print or telecine of the movie industry a France 1997 VHS, 1997 and 2004 Argentina VHS. I wonder why they would do that and not release the original theatrical transfer in the U.S. Again the home video and digital version of Oliver & Company did not use the original 1988 film negative. Thus far the films’ official visual quality remains the highest in its laserdisc and DVD releases. The bluray release was a botched mess. The details were unrecognizable. It seems that Disney messed up the film recently because they don’t care about it anymore due to it’s underwhelming box office performance and poor reviews. This is why I am requesting for any remaining unused or used 35mm or 16mm film copies of Oliver and company. If possible, could you inform me where I could find the physical copies of the 35mm of the film? Could you also inform me if you previously performed a full scan or will you do one in the future and sent it as digital video. Therefore I would finally be able to enjoy the movie as it would look from 1988. It’s an underrated film.

Here are the France VHS, UK 35mm bootleg and U.S. laserdiscs for the discussion.

Hi
This movie has great audio but it could be better.
I’ll try to make it sound better :-)
I’ll start with dtsma from bluray and replace the SW track with the one from dts dvd.
Then I’ll increase the stereo separation of the mix - dtsma is very narrow compared to for example Matrix Cinema DTS so thats my goal.
Then remove the muddines of the center channel - for some reason the higher freqs have been neutered and that makes the speech sound like its coming from a box.
I’ll give an update once I have ”a working prototype”

Duel
The Sugarland Express
Jaws
E.T. 
Schindler's List

Does anybody have any laserdisc rips of these movies? Would be appreciated.
