God, am I tired of this debate - I just watched the whole scene in v2.5 and it is my honest to god opinion that those shots don’t stand out at all in the sense that they’d look like they don’t belong - they do stand out however in that, unlike the other shots, which are not composites, they do show clear signs of pretty sub-par blue-screen optical compositing (like harsh edges and color discrepancies between the background and foreground elements), just like they always did in the original version (probably much more so in a large-screen 70mm presentation, but memory is a fickle friend) and that is really the whole point here.

And because these are probably the most obvious optical composites in the entire trilogy and so their digital re-compositing is also some of the most obvious, if someone looks at those shots in both the GOUT and the BD (or '04 DVD) and claims to see no difference and doubts whether they’ve indeed been recomposited, I absolutely can’t take their opinion on this matter seriously, no matter what credentials they claim, because they clearly have no idea what they’re talking about.

Oh, and that Bambi story is horrific BTW. I’m not surprised about Disney doing it - they have a long history of awful revisionism with their animated classics’ “restorations” but I would never have believed Mr. Harris would condone something like that.
