You would think it would be easier to source from the digital file than to scan film. I would like to beleive there was a reason behind the choice rather than assuming they were being "lazy."
I don't think Disney is "lazy" (hardly) but the good people are given a budget and they have to make do with what they're given. Frankly, I don't know how expensive it is to source a new Blu-Ray from 22-year-old CAPS files, re-color-time it, etc., but I imagine money - not sloth - would be the reason for not returning to digital source for the film (if that is indeed what has happened).
