I think the 2010 Blu-ray can potentially be the best version of Beauty and the Beast since it came straight from the CAPS files if we fix it.

And Disney just misleadingly called it a digital restoration rather than what it actually is: an altered digital-to-digital transfer.

And if we undo the alterations for the 2002 Special Edition DVD/IMAX and the 2010 Diamond Edition Blu-ray/3D, color correct it to match the LaserDisc or this 35mm print and add in all the alternate mixes. It might be the best version of Beauty and the Beast we can get unless Disney just releases the unaltered version instead of repackaging the Diamond Edition over and over again.

I think the title should be Beauty and the Beast: Despecialized Edition (sorry, I really had to take the name from you, Harmy, and the first altered version of Beauty and the Beast was also called a Special Edition).

Just tell me if you’re interested for doing this kind of project and I can make own thread, unfortunately. I actually can’t do it since my laptop is too weak for editing SD video, let alone HD.

Maybe, I can still handle the distribution, if the Spleen will allow this restoration.

But if not, then someone else will probably do the distribution.

P.S: It would be really awesome if Harmy did the restoration here, and it would bring more justification to the use of the title Beauty and the Beast: Despecialized Edition.
