I've recently been rewatching all Disney animated films (more or less in chronological order) and on a bigger TV than ever before.

I'm also seeing thing I haven't seen before.

Tonight I sat through Pete's Dragon (Gold Edition, which is possibly the same transfer/restoration as all DVDs).

Besides the obvious over scrubbing of grain, I saw something I'm hesitant to claim as true.

Did they regrade it to orange/teal or try to?  Most white areas seemed pushed to bluish and a lot of people seemed sunburned.

My problem is I no longer have any older editions to compare it to.
Can anyone confirm or deny this?
Does the newest transfer (BD) look better?  Did they use less DNR.

Is there something that I should be recommending as a 'purist' version?  The problem is, I know all older versions are severely cut down.

Btw, did anyone else see the mention that Disney is planning a non-musical reboot of this film?  Ugh.
