I've just rented the DVD through Netflix and have done my comparison to the original DVD. Here's my 2 cents. The picture is a vast improvement, though I could see the noise in Ariel's hair that DaViD spoke of. As for the sound, not quite as horrendous as I was expecting. The main thing...
You have that one. The wide-screen LD with AC3 sound was THX certified. The original LD he refers to would be the full frame. I've net-flixed the new DVD (you can bet I don't want to give Disney any money directly for this one) and it should come in the mail tomorrow so I will hear for myself...
