In regards to The Emperor’s New Groove DVDs. The post says they all use the same master, but from what I’ve heard there was some censorship at some point. There’s a scene where Kuzco throws a rock at Pacha that was later changed to an acorn. Many sources claim it was the 2005 DVD that made the change, but I bought the older 2-Disc DVD and the change was still there. I’ve seen footage of the rock variant, so does that mean it’s on the original single disc DVD?

You know what? I may be wrong. I’ve looked up VHS rips online and it’s still an acorn. It’s possible with the lower quality back then my mind filled in the gap and made me think it was a rock. I don’t know if there are any 35mm film scans to check, but it seems like a collective false memory as I am not the first to bring this up.

As of yet, I don’t think any new releases are improvements outside of the 4k versions of Snow White and Cinderella.

I don’t believe any other ink and paint animation have had new transfers. Pre-4k CG is just upscaled maybe with some HDR color improvements. Anything recent has a 4k source, so I don’t believe any are badly messed up (except maybe Incredibles 2, but that’s Pixar).
I’ve yet to find any reason to make an update to the first posts.

I’m open to suggestions though.

I think every movie listed has at least one blu-ray now, while the original post says some are only up to DVD.

But if that’s not enough to warrant going back to update, I understand.

The recent 4K Ultra HD remasters for Blue Sky’s Ice Age 1-4 and the first Rio movie are currently on Disney+ in most territories, and apparently, the color grading for all of them have been significantly altered to be not just brighter and vibrant than the older home media releases, but also being more accurate to both the promotional stills and original Blue Sky render files. The old HD masters used on DVD, Blu-Ray and certain TV airings looked grey, very muddy and desaturated, when compared to the color grading for WDAS and Pixar’s CG animated films from that same period.

For some reason, the 4K UHD remaster of Ice Age (2002) on Disney+ has removed two dissolve transitions in some sequences. At around 14:38, when Scrat gets struck by lightning in the rain, the film then cuts to the human hut attack sequence instead of doing a second-long dissolve transition to it, as seen on older home media releases. At 44:08, the dissolve transition from that small icicle sealing the glacier shut to the camera panning down to the main characters walking has also been replaced with a cut. Thankfully, none of the other Blue Sky films in 4K UHD (so far) have been affected by those minor oddities.

I hope we get a 4K remaster of Robots (2005) someday. Because, the color grading for it on all home media releases have this hideous brownish-grey tint, which ruins the intended bright, vibrant and natural look it originally had in the 35mm theatrical prints, as well as in the FMVs for the video game tie-in, and I would love to see that look be restored to its proper glory.

This person did color correction of the blu-ray.

There have been numerous new releases over the years, and over 50 pages of discussion. Will this post get a full update if there hasn’t been one in these comments already?
