    To me, and I'd say most of those who object, the real issue is about keeping the original film available. It's not about which crocs you like better, or whether a specific scene is supposed to be light or dark, or even whether the original animators are involved. It is simply about choice...

    It's simply a matter of principle. I can understand that not all will agree. Some of us are collectors and/or are interested in the history and origin, and we would like the original theatrical film to be available in current and future formats. Why does anyone care that this matters to...

    Of course all the animals are cartoony, it is a feature length 'cartoon'. But the crocs were once cool and unique, now they are generic cartoony. Hardly. I can disagree with a change but still watch a movie and enjoy it. And I can express an opinion without throwing a fit. I use the...

    Ernest: Neither TLK nor BatB include the original theatrical versions, despite misrepresentation on the packaging and press releases. They simply allow you to select a version that doesn't include the inserted footage (mostly, the new song for each film). The altered footage is still...

    Yeah, they "fixed" the crocs by taking highly stylized renditions that evoke African folk art, and turning them into generic cartoony animals similar to those that could be seen in a zillion generic kids movies/shorts. I about spit milk out of my nose when I read about them being "fixed"...

    Some people do care. And anybody who feels that nobody has a right to care or to express their opinion is just plain rude. Here's the real question. Why does it bother you that some of us might not share your opinion? Why not just buy the disc, be happy about it, and be quiet? It is one...

    Yeah, kind of like the crocs weren't 'changed' in The Lion King. Make no assumptions.

    I think that is really exaggerating. And I'll be getting the new DVD, just keeping my old LD. Why get so bent out of shape about that?

    "Beauty and the Beast" is highly overcompressed because of three versions of the film on disc one. "Monster's Inc." is overcompressed because of two versions of the film on disc one. "Finding Nemo" is overcompressed because of TONS of supplements on disc one. "The Lion King" is also...

    Well, it's good to know that I should hang onto my laserdisc. 20% redrawn? That has to be a new record for them.
