Concern about the Disney restorations

I first got alerted on this in 2001 when Snow White was released on dvd. Some people complained about the colors which had supposedly been altered. Some scenes were lit to be less scary. For instance, the flames in the magic mirror were brought from redish to yellow, also to be less scary. The same ...
