DVD Talk review of 'Peter Pan - Platinum Edition'
I read Todd Douglass Jr.'s DVD review of Peter Pan - Platinum Edition at http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/read.php?ID=26351 and...
I do not how reliable this reviewer's PQ rating is. The main thread in DVDT is filled with comparison SE/PE pics, and the screenshots just don't match with this reviewers opinion. I'd appreciate if he'd respond to those screenshots in light of his review.

And here is the state of the issue right now (from my post in that forum):
Funny thing is, none of the usual DVD reviewers (including dvdtalk) have picked up on this issue. I know DVD Josh has challenged the dvdtalk reviewer in the DVD Review forum ( http://forum.dvdtalk.com/showthread.php?t=494589 ) but to no avail so far. As far as I know, only one reviewer (already quoted: http://www.ultimatedisney.com/peter...numedition.html ) noted the colour differences but shrugged them away.
It's as if, out of simple force of habit, none of the reviewers take time to compare transfers and they automatically rubberstamp anything that comes out of the Disney vaults with the usual malarkey boilerplates: "painstakingly restored", "never looked better", etc.
This home theater forum has tackled the issue with lots of screen caps ( http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htf...ad.php?t=253014 ) of the various editions and complaints from reviewers that (1) Disney isn't very forthcoming with free advance copies and (2) the Disney site doesn't even show excerpts from its actual 2007 edition, as if it had something to hide. Also see this Ultimate Disney forum: http://www.ultimatedisney.com/forum/...ic.php?t=18606
I have also written to DVD Beaver and DVD Savant about the issue and await reactions.
