While these petitions are nice, they don’t help. This is about the 4th one that’s appeared. Disney is paying no attention, and even worse if they do, the more interest these petitions get, the more Disney might think the IP has value and not sell it back. The best thing to happen is for everyone to forget about MI and for Disney to think it has no value. ---

The work is impressive but I don’t like Melee Island at daytime at all. The special “atmosphere” of the night is totally gone. ---

I didn’t do that. A guy called Duccio Rocci did. And I read somewhere he didn’t want to do all the effort like changing the animated doors, so it was just an experiment. However I also found this (using other similar art - but messed up color palettes) (Here you can see the door animation not working as it should) ---

> [@Sushi](#): > > but messed up color palettes Quite the opposite. The artist didn’t create a custom palette at all, thus this excessive noise. You can clearly see the palette intact when those unaltered doors open. He says it himself in the description of the second video: > As you cann see it works though I should work a lot adapting the palettes! When I ported the Spiffy closeup to VGA for the Ultimate Talkie Edition, I did a matching palette. Since there are no other actors on screen, but only the text, I could use more colors than the average background has, and I did. ---
