The Morton Jankel Cut was the passion project of Ryan Parente, Steven Applebaum, and Ryan Hoss, but it was only made possible thanks to Garrett Gilchrist, who also helped restore the infamous The Thief and the Cobbler. Besides adding in the “pipe noise” from the original game into the movie when Mario and Luigi go down a pipe (BECAUSE GARRETT GILCHRIST IS A GODDAMN HERO), the man spent an insane amount of time restoring the terrible VHS footage into DVD-like quality.
Gilchrist started by taking two VHS transfers of the missing footage and putting them together to make one of the most hated video game movies longer. He went frame by frame, removing damage, dirt, and noise from the scenes … while using AI. Gilchrist relied heavily on “artificial intelligence” to get, say, the Remini photo enhancer app to fix out-of-focus faces or improperly colored scenes. This gets really technical at times, especially for those of us who still think Paint is the greatest artistic software ever, but if you have the time, listen to Gilchrist explain it all.
