My father worked as a technician at Technicolor for more than 30 years and helped with the production of several Disney animated movies. Now my daughter (an avid Star Wars fan) is helping digitally restore the Disney films her grandfather worked on. When I was growing up, I was so proud to see the Technicolor logo on the screen. And today when I see my daughter's name in the credits, I am just as proud. I don't understand...
