What's Cinderella's excuse?

Bambi and Lady and the Tramp's Platinum restorations look amazing in HD for their Diamond Editions (though I understand Bambi was smoothened out a bit), and I hear 101 Dalmatians looks similarly excellent overseas. So how did Cinderella and The Little Mermaid get the short end of the stick when it came to the Platinum restorations done in HD? At least with the latter, we can be sure it'll be scrubbed pristinely for its 3D release. With Cinderella, we're probably not going to see another from-scratch clean up job until the next format. Boo.

Yeah, 101 Dalmatians looks good.. but that´s only because the Platinum Edition already looked good. Like with Cinderella, they just changed it into HD. Unlike Cinderella, this transfer was done excellently and not crappily.

Jeesh, I can't understand why Disney would willingly do such a crappy job on one of their most iconic movies..
