I'm sorry, but I chuckle at the hand wringing that Disney may have screwed up TLM in the new BD restoration while converting the film to 3D.

What has Disney done before now that suggests anything they put out in Diamond Edition, newly restored or post converted to 3D is going to be worth buying and not completely messed up?

@klingon_jedi - I maintain and continue to maintain that the Platinum Edition is a great transfer of the film.  The colors match the first laserdisc release.

To compare it to the Limited DVD release is a mistake since that series of DVDs is across the board awful.  It was a half hearted poorly managed first foray into DVDs.  I wouldn't need one hand to count the films they got right in that series.

Except for the knee edit and the soundtrack, since fixed in a custom release, there is no reason to doubt its accuracy.  Clements and Musker at least were consulted, which is more than we can say for the BD.

I can't imaging that the one thing they wouldn't insist on is the accuracy of the color of Ariel's tail.
