Epic Win!

I'd love to see the same thing for On Her Majesty's Secret Service and pretty much any Disney film that got a platinum release besides the Little Mermaid (didn't use Lowry for that one). I think more attention needs to be brought to the fact that a lot of digital "restorations" change the colors and remove so much grain that the movie looks like HD video. I consider that altering the film in the same way as coloring a black and white movie.

Anybody up for an Anti Lowry Film "Restoration" facebook group?

Even Blade Runner had some recoloring issues on the achival versions. I kept my 1997 dvd for that reason despite it being so low quality.

As for the bottom one that 005 mentioned may be too busy, I think it is. At the very least, there is no need to write originaltrilogy.com/petition twice.

Although if someone wants to nitpick, the new petition here simply asks for the original versions restored, while the banner could suggest we want whatever version as long as the colors are proper. Some people unfamiliar with the films might think from the banner that the original versions were released with the wrong colors when that was actually one of the things the unaltered dvd's got right. I don't think it's a big deal but those who would call us "whiny fanboys" might use it as another lame response.
