Pocahontas, but only because they didn't do seemless branching for If I Never Knew You. I'm just going to hang on to my 10th anniversary set.

Yeah . . . using a crappy, automated restoration process that already looked bad on DVD years ago, for a high-resolution format meant to bring out all the subtleties captured in the original film . . .

What about the artists that worked their off to create the original drawings that were inked by hand, painted in by hand, and went through camera tests to get the look just right? Much of that hard work is now gone.

I'm not usually nit-picky on restorations and I haven't forgotten when this film was made; the Snow White Blu-ray looks gorgeous, and that film is from 1937. As far as I'm concerned, the colors are subjective, the amount of grain is subjective, but the hand-inked lines in animation is not, and mis-coloring entire sections is not. Completely obliterating the inks is unbelievable:



It looks like it was done in freakin' MS Paint.

This restoration does need to be picked on because Disney needs to do something about it, I honestly don't think people worked that hard on this movie seeings how horrible it looks.

Yeah, as I mentioned above in this reply, it's the song. Pocahontas is one of my favorite Disney films, and I'm extremely disappointed I can't watch the special edition in its entirety in HD.

And yes, something needs to be done about the restoration. I can't believe someone thought this was good enough for a Blu-ray release from such a major company. Like Pocahontas, I'm not really interested in buying.
