Well, I'd like to clear it up for the 90% of other people who can't see the difference then. Here is a Jungle Book cel I found on the internet.

Take a look at Mowgli. See the very thin construction line going down the middle of his back? Notice how lines defining big forms are thick, and ones defining details, like toes are thin? Look at the feathers in Baloo's fur... see how the feathers are all clean and light?
Go still frame through the blu-ray and see if you can find a single frame that looks even similar to this kind of line. Still frame in the scene where the lambs leap in front of Dick Van Dyke and check out how the lines totally disappear.
What they did is very clear. They went through and ERASED the underdrawing and then did a photoshop style selection on the lines and thickened and darkened them up so they looked like it was all one even line thickness. No more pencil look.
