So according to the only article about the restoration, it doesn't even sound like they cleaned it in 1080p, but 480p (which is crazy).

My favorite part of that article-Jim Ward 2004: it’s hardly a controversy. We sold over $100 million in one day of this DVD around the world, so I don’t think anybody’s too upset about it. And any changes that George made, they might be controversial to about 5 people.”

vs. Jim Ward 2006:" a truly countless number of fans have told us that they would love to see and own the original version that they remember experiencing in theaters," said Jim Ward
