Update! With screenshots and a sample! Please tell me what you guys think about the video quality of the sample. To me, it looks pretty good for almost half the bitrate of the original DCPrip.

Looks good waterslides. I like where you are going with this. The only thing is the skin tones might be a hair too red but that is because they are too red in the orginial video. Just my opinion. Otherwise it looks great so far.
And cool name for the project.

Got ya, color correction is always a balance so I get that. Besides it really doesn't look bad.

You are right MrBrown! The logo was used at the end of the little featurette in the 2002 DVD. Unfortunately, it was letterboxed and doesn't look that great.
I've tried to upscale it but it's not as clean as my remade version.

Really like the job you've done with the colours - looks like a number of the recent 4k scans there have been (Groundhog Day, Home Alone etc) and a big improvement over the 'dvd-colours' of the DCP.

Thank you alexpeden2000! I really appreciate to see this kind of comments since being able to get these colors that you indeed find on the modern 4K remasters is also what I was trying to achieve. They have such a more "cinematic feel". I'm really glad that you saw it in my project!

To resurrect this thread - I found a clip on YouTube of the Japanese MUSE Hi-Vision LD (recorded off a TV), and that version has To Be Continued. Maybe finding it and capturing that in HD would be the answer to finally getting a quality version?
My main color reference comes from an old VHS TVrip which was sourced on a theatrical print.
