In that Robert Harris piece the guy from disney studios he is interviewing said they used an IB technicolor print as color reference and the original animation cels.

But when he said they were completely working in the digital realm and that the work was done by Lowry, i though oh no.lol. Their algorithms delete film grain as noise, unless they work frame by frame or properly watch the equipment and what they are doing. If calibrated right they don't necessarily have to remove grain. Lowry only does it at the request of their clients.

They started out with a 4k scan of the original Negative and the color tweaking and touch ups i believe were done in 2k.

The film was done of the Sucessive Exposure method and not 3 strip technicolor. The Techirama process almost identical to 8 perf vistavision having a wider negative area. the original aspect ratio was 2:55:1.

I noticed the dvnr on the blu ray has softened the image. Almost like they are trying to blur out the grain, and by doing so remove an integral layer of the image.

Too bad the closest to the original theatrical colors is the overly cropped 1987 CAV release on laserdisc that is severely faded. Though the 2003 dvd is a close approximation not without its faults.

The new one is almost a completely different take on the colors in some scenes.

Maybe the grain is there on the restored film prints?

Video and film are 2 seperate things. Maybe they are trying to please home video hdtv owners and not the elite film people who want video to look like film.

Can a Blu Ray look like a 35mm film at home?

Just wondering because it don't have an hdtv or a blu ray player myself. If they scan in all of the image grain and all at 4k does the image look stunning at 1080P. Some examples would be helpful to those who don't know the difference.
