Images That Prove Disney's Blu-Ray Restoration Has Ruined "Cinderella"

Disney's classic works made it into the canon of the animation industry for a reason. They are all beautiful and astonishing the way they were, and there's absolutely no need to change that. However, the studio still decided to restore and remake many of its old films so that they could fit the modern tastes better, and such choices have upset plenty of loyal Disney fans.
Let's take our beloved "Cinderella" for example. The movie might come out in 1950, but it's still pretty popular and relevant today. Its original version won millions of hearts, but can the new Blu-ray movie edition do the same? According to many Disneyphiles, the so-called "restoration" has ruined numerous details and the spirit of the film, and of course, they are not happy about that.
"Disney's whole process of "restoration" on high-profile releases is actually completely destructive of the original image, i.e. the original cel animation and background art as shot on film 80-30 years ago," a Twitterer nicknamed Stephen Duignan tweeted. He also pointed out how "Cinderella" was changed with the Blu-ray version.
