Kramer vs. Kramer (1979)
Razor sharp picture quality. Very impressive. I miss movies like this. Quiet intensity, intimate, simple, long takes, powerful performances that drive every second of the film.

Gary, could you do something about the pics you posted? Takes forever for the thread to load now because all those pics are way too huge. Thanks.

Disney over all has done a phenomenal job remastering their animated films for BluRay.
Beauty and the Beast:
All kinds of trouble with this release. Some character outlines appeared to be in blue. (Blue?) and there was a white "halo" effect around the animation line art. I also read they over lightened the film starting back with one of its DVD special editions. I seem to remember some "scarier" scenes being much darker in the theater, and thus added to the dramatic effect.
Regarding the white boarders around the line art and strange line art color I don't know if I simply got a bad BluRay.
Beauty and the Beast is my favourite film of all time, but i still refuse to purchase the Bluray.
Disney has messed up with the colors (saying that this was the original intent), and all the darkness of the original film has been lost.
In addition other scenes too, that didn't involve dark colors and shades, have lost their initial impact.

look at how the light was in the upper screenshots! Now this effect is lost.
The beautiful morning seems like late afternoon.
the only mediums that still have the original colors are the VHS and Laserdisc.
Those screencaps are horrible. They look NOTHING like any version of the film I've seen including the superb Blu Ray release!
the upper ones are from the Laser Disc (same is in the VHS), and the down ones from the DVD.
The Bluray kept (with some minor tweaks), the color palette of the DVD.
of course these are jpgs so a downgraded quality from the original size of the picture.
But I just wanted to show the difference in colors.
If you have the bluray, just go to the scene that corrseponds to the second screenshot, and compare them.
See how the light from the window looks in the ORIGINAL, and how it looks in the BLuray.
Anyway...
