Why would they put an old transfer on the same release as a new one? That's like putting the 2001 Snow White Platinum dvd in the Snow White diamond edition combo. While I'd be getting the combo anyways that doesn't make sense. That would also mean the only missing features from the combo pack would be Michael Crawford's Baby Mine and the sneak peak at Dumbo 2. While that may not be good news for DVDphiles for Blu-Ray completists that is some fine news because they gain the Canemaker commentary. In short, anyone who says that 'Disney are tampering/ruining these films' just needs to accept that these are how the films originally looked. Fantasia will be the most surprising as the Technicolor prints have had some troubles. What we are seeing now for the first time are how these films would have looked in the cinema on release. Every remaster that has been released prior to the Platinum Editions were un-faithful because they were not done by Lowry - the colours are over-saturated etc. Secondly, for the most part, we believe the colours have been 'tampered with', are wrong or un-faithful because we have never seen the original colours on a home platform before. Anyone that suggests this has been poorly remastered needs to think again - although these are wonderful films, they all have there little production issues. You can see how much more rushed the brush strokes are, the simpler backgrounds and the cel-shadow. On Dumbo in particular, we are seeing the real economy of the film, and the Pictures that were previously posted are certainly the real Blu-Ray. ![]() ![]() These aren't down to restoration, they are things that were created during shooting. Snow White is a prime example - there are shots out of focus, colour imbalances between shots and some anomalies in the tracking of the cels. Firstly, the restoration exposes much more of the flaws in the actual production process then we would believe. The differences were seeing are based on two things: They've been sending documents there to be cleaned up since 2001, and there is no difference in the quality of the output of the efforts that go into restoring these films. You're all forgetting how these films are restored.ĭisney don't do it - they send the films to Lowry, a company that specialises in restoration.
