i wont say anything about the restoration quality itself as it looks fantastic. but there is a hick-up and it kinda bothers me ...
i just made a trailer re-edit for the little mermaid theatrical trailer as the the trailer on the dvd is in horrible shape. therefor i needed the scenes from various disney classics including sleeping beauty. while editing i wondered why the top of the new s.b. is so much cut off. so i made a comparison using the original trailer from the little mermaid, the widescreen and fullscreen version of sleeping beauty s.e. and mixed it all together in photoshop.
this pic here was the result

red - pan&scan sleeping beauty s.e. dvd
green - widescreen sleeping beauty s.e. dvd
yellow - footage used in little mermaid trailer
as you can see, the mermaid footage shows quite alot more footage at the top and some extra pixels at the bottom.
personally i think disney should do a new version of the movie with the proper aspect ratio
update
found the old review thread from david boulet and it was talked about the problem of cropping the movie.
