Many DVD transfers were taken from fading elements but if that's what people are used to when they get the correct color they scream bloody murder. Well, they don't really have the right to, do they, given that the real color is finally being presented correctly? I mean, they will, but they shouldn't, but they have no frame of reference.

The movie wasn't that old when it hit DVD and I highly doubt the prints were in a rough condition.
