 Heh, I don't know if I'd go that far, but it looks kind of back to square one to me as far as being green and blown out. 

And poita of course makes some great points. It's ambitious to try to approach the film colorization with an objectively correct goal in mind. But if that's actually impossible, attempts are going to need a personal touch. I think Mike Verta has said similarly, and has certainly made judgement calls in his own restoration.

As fun as it is to discuss these things, I must admit I'll have a relatively large margin of what is acceptable color-wise. It will be great to have any and all projects that simply don't look 'screwed up' the way the film has since 2004. In truth, if Disney actually put out an OOT that had the approximate color of the 1997 film, I would be thrilled. Of course, I would also want to see what the people here end up doing with it next. :)
