The restoration copy of “Aniki-Bóbó” results from a 4K wet gate scan of the 35mm original camera negative and the optical sound negative, complemented by distribution prints. All the film elements are preserved by Cinemateca Portuguesa – Museu do Cinema. The scanning, digital restoration, and color correction were carried out under a partnership between Cineric Portugal and Irmã Lúcia Visual Effects, and the digital sound restoration was done by BillyBoom Sound Design in 2024, using a distribution print as reference. Digitization and restoration were coordinated by Cinemateca Portuguesa - Museu do Cinema, under the frame of the FILMar project, part of the European Financial Mechanism EEA Grants 2020-2024.
