I don't understand how it came out that way either if they were using a LD master....

Just don't listen to that crazy theory that the grain was intentionally added with CGI. That is wacky thinking...

There's quite a lot of discussion about the film grain issue here.

I'm of the opinion that the film grain is now more evident on the DVDs due to their increased resolution and clarity.
