Faced with the daunting task of restoring the film to its original pristine condition, the Walt 迪士尼 Studios Restoration Team turned to the US 图书馆 of Congress who store the original 70 年 old nitrate camera negative in their film vaults, and for reference, to an original 1941 ‘release’ print, held 由 the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS). Using this rare nitrate “dye-transfer” Technicolor print for color reference, the team was able to restore Dumbo to the color settings most likely approved 由 Walt 迪士尼 himself, which will be seen in their full splendor for the first time in 70 years, on the Blu-ray debut.
In addition, the rare film print (housed as part of the UCLA Film and 电视 Archives collection) proved to be the earliest surviving generation of the original audio for Dumbo which provided a unique 来源 from which to build the new 迪士尼 Enhanced 首页 Theatre (DEHT) mix for the Blu-ray release.
Released theatrically in 1941, Dumbo, Walt Disney’s fourth animated film, was an immediate success with audiences and critics alike. In addition to its Academy Award® for Best Music, Dumbo was also Oscar®-nominated for Best Song, for the haunting lullaby, “Baby Mine.” Additional songs from the film, written 由 renowned composer Frank Churchill and lyricist Ned Washington, have become 流行的 standards. They include the infectious “When I See an 象, 大象 Fly,” sung 由 a chorus of hip crows who befriend Dumbo and his friend, Timothy Mouse, and “Pink Elephants on Parade,” which accompanies Dumbo’s feverish dream-sequence.
