I have some 35mm of certain things I've seen posted there and the colors on my 35mm are WAY, WAY more rich and vibrant than on many of the 35mm scans there of Disney stuff. For The Little Mermaid most of all. It's 1000x more vibrant than they show for their 35mm scans.

And for some older Disney stuff some of the old 35mm prints are simply, poor faded, old copy of copy of copy and while looking somewhat dull that might not be representative of how the better prints they made for original release looked.

The removing detail stuff for say Cinderella is real though and a pretty horrendous remastering job.

There was a V2 released of the little Mermaid scan about a month ago that has way better color.
