Remastering Stinks
I love this special more than anything. Unfortunately there's TOO much damn remastering. The colors way too vibrant. It's way too clear. I have a hard time having a true nostalgic experience when it looks like it could have been made last year instead of 1969. Believe it or not I prefer my crusty old VHS copy to this remastered dvd. Why do they insist of cleaning everything up. I will give them a little credit. They don't do much to fix the bad sound from the original and there still is a lot of the cell separation in the animation. I just don't understand why they choose to keep SOME of the faults and remove others. Why not come out with an edition that looks the way it originally did when it first aired on television? Anyone interested in that? Still, I love the special and enjoy sharing it with my [...]daughter, who also adores it.
