Maybe I just like 30's simple mindedness too much. I never really had issues over ToD in the PC department, especially since there are many other films along the same lines (Gunga Din actually forms the basis of a substantial part of ToD)

This was my first time watching the SWE version. (Mitsubishi pressing to be exact) Comparing to the JSC/SWE issues of of the first film, there's still that wonderful sense of color amidst the source that was gone by 1993. The sound mix is superb and shows how far both the creative team and the format had come in only three years. It's also odd to hear the older mix elements after being used to hearing the 1993 and SE mixes all these years. I don't know why an 1985 mix would have been done as there are still track defects in this. My assumption would be that for the JSC a mix was done to put each film into modern Dolby Surround for home usage on LD.

Video was good to great, with Side 2 having some slight rot creeping in and out. Color is very nice with almost a warm balance overall, most noticeable in warmer skin tones and a general orange-yellow cast. When Han is put into carbon freeze, the entire chamber is lit yellow instead of yellow-orange to red-orange.

Audio is wonderful, in the Dolby surround mix that is either theatrical or a very slight remix. The only thing is that dialogue alternates from being a bit strident to slightly muffled.
