Has everyone re-evaluated yet?

I saw it on Sat. for the first time ever (PS3/1.8) and it looked quite good. I thought the dark scenes especially looked very nice. My guess was that a lot of the inconsistency re: sharpness/softness is inherent in the way the film was made, mixing live action w/animation and the fact that this is Disney/2000 after all, and not Pixar.

Exactly.

I never understood some of the Hate-orade that was getting around as far as this disc goes. It's a beautiful job all the way around.

I guess people are used to the uber slick Pixar deals, but this is damned good in its own right.

I like the digital stuff, too, but I for one really miss "real/done by a human being" animation and I'm sorry that it seems to have been needlessly abandoned. They still haven't found a way to put the kind of warmth into the digital stuff that the old ways can do.

Both forms have their place.
