I spent some time looking at this; the best "off the shelf" solution I could find is SRestore with a target framerate of 23.976, which restores some frames, but not all.

SRestore seems to break down during scenes that pan and zoom. When the camera is stationary though it has great results. I played around with some of the parameters all with the same result. Sample 2 has some very visible pan and zooms, but if you want another example with more let me know.

Exactly right. The characters are "animated on 2's" - each drawing is held for 2 frames - effectively 12 fps. If you bob the source you can usually find two clean fields from the same frame while the "camera" is static. However, pans and zooms are rendered on 1's (24 fps), some frames end up becoming mangled in the conversion, and there are no clean fields from which SRestore can recreate the original frame.
