[Partially Lost] Incredibles 2 with Original Strobe Effects

[u/SuperJew837]

This has been posted before but I'm making a new post to clarify some things.

For those of you who don't know, when Incredibles 2 was released in theaters it had a few scenes with some pretty intense strobe lights that were toned down for all home releases on blu ray and dvd. There's anecdotal evidence the first release of 4k blu rays had the original strobe effects that were taken out of the normal blu ray and dvd releases, but based on comments from a previous post on this topic (https://www.reddit.com/r/lostmedia/comments/1n35yt0/fully_lost_the_incredibles_2_original_movie_with/), people who own those original 4k blu rays don't see a difference between the effects on the 4k blu ray and the 1080p one. I've since confirmed this myself with "online copies" of the movie that were posted within a week of it being released on 4k blu ray, which also don't contain the original effects.

All this to say, the only copies of the theatrical version that are known to exist are special 4k discs that were given to employees who worked on the movie, which apparently contain the original unaltered cut of the movie. Up until now there hasn't been much of a push to archive this version because everyone assumed it was out there on those original 4k blu rays, but in light of this not being the case it's confirmed that these scenes only exist on a specific 4k blu ray release owned by a handful of Pixar employees and/or collectors.

The only two videos I've found online that seem legitimate are these two: a 720p recording of the original fight between elastigirl and screenslaver (https://youtu.be/Z-AMs_iTLk0?si=CP5RDxEWupjti5Ps), and a phone recording of the original talk show scene (https://youtu.be/1irLs8OekII?si=Z3tEEt4WmX6q0TEJ). There were commenters on the previous post who seemed to know people in possession of the employee disc so it's absolutely possible that this can be fully archived in HD.

Thanks for sharing. Are you able to share the full disc ISO as well?

I could do that, but it’ll take some time, just wait

No rush. I don't need it myself. I just know folks would appreciate it. If you're able to scan the artwork, I'm sure that would be appreciated too.

I know you said it came from an employee disc. Do you have any other interesting stuff from inside the industry? Doesn't have to be related to The Incredibles.

No all I have is that employee disc

I would love the ISO when you're ready
