Having talked to someone on the restoration team at disney I have to say they know what their doing when given sufficient time and funds for a project. The problem is that if the executives don't think that the film will bring in big money from the re-release, they will give them not enough time and not enough money to do a really good job so we end up with crappy restorations. To see what they're capable of with enough time and funds, look at the blu ray of Bambi. I think it looks pretty spectacular. No frankenfilm there.

You mean the restoration person that (IIRC) you spoke to this summer, right?

Also, was Bambi not entirely rotoscoped over digitally the way most Disney animated 'restorations' are these days?
