It's understandable that this film has many fans but that shouldn't come at the cost of damaging navigation.

Remaster to upload to Wikimedia Commons in 2035 (year it enters public domain)

I know it's very early, but with 10 years to go until the film becomes public domain, just wondering which remaster of the film we will upload to Wikimedia Commons when the time comes. I'm thinking it should be the more recent remaster from 2018 used for the 4K Blu-ray release as it is the highest-quality and most detailed print of the film to date and restores the original colors.

I'm not sure about the legalities of uploading specific restorations of public domain films, but like you say it seems way too early to speculate on this kinda thing. Harryhenry1 (talk) 16:08, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
