Well, I watched the platinum dvd last night and I really wasn't that impressed with the picture. It looked blurry and some moving objects seemed to stutter through the frame. When I went frame by frame, I saw that there were a number of frame blending scenes. What happened? Is the older dvd like that too. It also sounded faint.
But I was watching the extra features and I could swear the film clips looked better in those cases. The infamous priest scene even appears with his kneecap in the Hans Christian Anderson feature.
