Project 4K77 and other restoration projects have been well known for quite some time. This is hardly going to be the first Disney has heard of them.

I was wondering about that. Maybe they're taking an approach of "any publicity is good publicity"?

But once it's in the NYT, Bob Iger will surely read it. It may force the suits to release the hounds if just to make an example for anyone else considering similar restorations of Disney originals.
