Song of the South

[Ben]

Yeah...but pretty clear what it’s supposed to be, right?

[Daniel]

I had hoped.

Well, just because I'm an anime fan doesn't mean I can read Kanji...

A poorly done Photoshop edit I found. The corners give it away, notice on South they're pointed while the other icons are more rounded.

Song's washed out homemade VHS-cover scan might also give it away.

[Ben]

It was obviously fake, but then it was presented as a what-if, so I wasn’t expecting them to have an authentic tile.

As for what it was. I just took it as a Chinese/Japanese/Asian D+ style mockup.

Simples...?

And long before Hotel Bob (Chapek) became a problem, some of us Disney fans were on Bob Iger retirement-watch, since Iger was firmly dedicated to the idea that Remus Was a Slave, and thus SotS should never see the light of day.
Even snark-dissing the "fans" that kept pushing the issue at the stockholder meetings.

I doubt Chapek, with his "D+ is the Future!" delusion, would have stuck up for classic DMC disc restoration either, but looks like we can put our hopes on hold for a little longer...

[Ben]

It’s been restored, it’s just not going to be released.

[Daniel]

Yep, the last major work done was back in 2017 to fix certain shots previously out of alignment.

[EricJ]

Okay, RELEASE, then, Word Police--And we're still not going to see it until we find out Iger's real successor.

[Ben]

There a big difference between the words "restoration" and "release". I was replying to the word you used. Maybe *you* should have used the correct word you intended?
