To be fair, although they are usually similar, Aladdin has not had a U.S. release on BD yet.  We can only hope it comes out better.

I always have mixed emotions about HDTV/webdl versions.

It's fine if the movie doesn't exist with that transfer or in a digital format, but on the whole it rarely looks much better than a good DVD.  The over-compression needed for broadcast tends to scrub the detail you SHOULD be gaining from HD.

Most of the time they use the same bitrate, and in the case of HDTV the same mpeg2 codec.  That'll never look much better than a properly encoded DVD.
