I see what slicker's talking about. Yeah, the 2004/2011 transfer really boosted the reds. Obviously, the color timing people at LFL were more concerned with making the transfer "pop" than with preserving image detail - crushed blacks, clipped reds, etc.

With all the improvements that fans have made to that transfer, it's always jarring when I remember what it actually looks like. The '04 candyland makeover is about as far away from the original color as you can get, unless you were to retime the whole thing in teal and orange (don't give them any ideas for the 3D re-release!)
