Cats Don't Dance did get a widescreen DVD in several European countries (e.g., Germany and Spain).

The Lion King had some animation redone for the IMAX release, and it's carried over to all of the DVD and Blu-ray releases. That'd be a good one to preserve.

Roger Rabbit had a couple digital alterations on DVD. When Baby Herman walks under the script girl's skirt, you used to see him sticking up his middle finger between her legs. Also, when Jessica gets thrown out of the cab, you could see up her skirt and it looked as if she wasn't wearing underwear. The uncensored version deserves a good preservation. Also, the short "Trail Mix-Up" had a "Rigid Tools" pinup in the sawmill that got blurred out on DVD. Here's what it originally looked like:

Is The Little Mermaid the original release or the 1997 one? I know Doctor M did a version which used the Platinum DVD but restored the priest's knee, but I don't know if anybody has done preservations of either of the LDs in their entirety.

Fantasia was remixed for DVD, and IMO it sounds inferior to the laser. That LD needs a preservation with uncompressed PCM sound.

The Snow White, Pinocchio and Cinderella box sets had the original mono mixes on the analog track, I think it would be nice to have preservations of those with the mono sound.
