I'm very sad. I just watched Snow White tonight with the DVD release that corresponds to the Diamond Edition, and I'm not sure what I think of it.

The colors are good, the image is largely sharp, but all that cleaning up highlights the flaws.

Now I see colors that shift during shots, blurred and missing frames, unnatural motion, and stuff like this:

All these years I watched inferior(?) versions with lots of grain that helped cover the short comings... and tonight it was all I saw. It distracted me from the movie.

I was actually forced to turn up my TV's dejudder and motion smoothing just to make the animation less nausea inducing.

Is this really the best version of Snow White or was the Diamond restoration just abusive of the material?

I'm trying to decide if I need to get the Platinum Edition for comparison. As far as I know there's nothing older than that.

Has anyone else had a similar experience with this?
