Each day at the Tech Retreat, Leon Silverman and Jerry Pierce conducted an informal attendee survey, generating sometimes surprising responses. Among the questions and answers:
–Is 3D in the home dead? roughly 80% of the audience raised their hands
–Cord cutting? Some, but not many, attendees have already done so.
–When will packaged media disappear from stores? Very few said within five years, and very few said within10 years.

The final Thursday session included a report on Disney’s restoration efforts, which to date have included over 200 titles, with roughly 70 in the past year.
The studio has been restoring its animated classic, as well as live action productions. Recent restorations included animated films such as Fantasia and Dumbo, as well as live action titles such as The Love Bug.
Titles in the pipeline include: Blackbeard’s Ghost, Quiz Show, Horse Whisperer and The Apple Dumpling Gang.
