your release is 3:48:11 whereas the OG release is 3:48:18. Any idea where the missing 6 seconds are coming from?Probably at 01:45:38 (after Pippin says “where are we going?”) – there’s a couple of seconds of black (due to the disc change?)
That’s correct

It’s not very evident here but the new remastered blu-ray (and the UHD it’s sourced from) has completely altered colour grading as PJ wanted to make the movies look more like the Hobbit trilogy. The old green tint from the first EE blu-ray is gone but it’s still nothing like the original release on dvd/theatrical
