Isn’t using the term “reanimation” to refer to Lowry’s (or, prior to the mid-2000s, Disney’s own extensive) restorations misleading (and a bit of an oxymoron), as other than the digitally recreated visual effects in Alice in Wonderland, nothing is being reanimated (or for that matter, redrawn) in the general sense of the term?

“(Digitally) recomposited” and/or “rotoscoped” would be more accurate terms to use. (On another note, I don’t think the 1993 Cineon restoration of Snow White was a reanimation recomposition job, as the restoration featurette on the 2001 DVD states that what was done was “cleaning and refurbishing” the film frame-by-frame)
