Hello everyone. I have been putting this off for far too long, I can be stupid when it comes to stuff like that, I should have made this thread a long time Vor so the new Aschenputtel Diamond Edition release could fix these problems oder actually restore the entire film over again the right way, but here it is, the hard proof that for the 2005 Platinum Edition release of Aschenputtel they restored the film wrong, and even may have re-painted oder changed things in it on purpose.

Now, even though Aschenputtel was released most recently on Home video in 2012, they used the same restoration from 2005 for that release. Hopefully, this information getting known to the public will get a good, accurate restoration done for the Weiter Home video release.

IN ALL OF THESE EXAMPLES, THE FIRST PICTURE IS FROM BEFORE THE 2005 RESTORATION, THE Sekunde PICTURE IS FROM THE 2005 RESTORATION. LIKE BEFORE AND AFTER.

The first thing is an example of where the artists, in trying to make everything look like clean and perfect solid color, (and perhaps also to match the rest of the times that color was in the film, depending on the lighting) have accidentally colored a part wrong. It is the first proof that Disney doesn't merely/actually restore their animated films, they also paint/re-color parts of them in trying to make them look like they're perfectly, pristinely restored.

So here we have Aschenputtel before the 2005 restoration, and then Aschenputtel from the 2005 restoration. In these images, look at Cinderella's brown oben, nach oben and skirt:

Did Du notice that in the 2005 restoration they accidentally made Cinderella's rock the same color as her top? It's the first evidence they don't restore things in a way that naturally returns things back to their original form. They do other things which just try to make it look like the original, except even snazzier for a new modern generation.

The Weiter one is of the stepmother, Lady Tremaine. In these pictures, take a look at Lady Tremaine's schal and the light parts of her hair:

Notice that in the 2005 restoration the blue-purple color of her schal runs into her hair? It looks to me like the lighter parts of the stepmother's hair were originally the same grayish silver color of her shawl, oder very close to it. So it looks like evidence that they are changing the Farben of the film from not what they are really supposed to be, because maybe her schal and hair were both supposed to be the same gray color but the heads at Disney wanted them to make the schal bluer, much like they made Cinderella's silver dress bluer, hm, right?

Speaking of, here's an example of this re-coloring that seems to prove Mehr than ever that they paint over these films instead of just actually restore them. In the first image, before the 2005 restoration, Aschenputtel is in a very silver kleid with a bustle (the puffy material at her hips) that is a lighter silver while her sleeves and gloves are Mehr white. In the Sekunde image, from the 2005 restoration, not only is her dress bluer (which I've kept wondering if it's to match the Disney Princess marketed blue dress that they think looks better...), but it's quite obvious they didn't restore it properly, but rather, painted over it, because the bustle is now the same shade and color as her sleeves and gloves. In fact, when taking the image into MS Paint, for each bustle I just clicked once on an area with the paint can tool using red paint, and it filled in a big solid color Weltraum from her bustle to her gloves, even covering where the inked outline should at least be to seperate the bustle and gloves from each other! In fact you'll notice many of the outlines and details, like those on her dress, are gone, probably painted over as well. The 2005 restoration picture was taken exactly as is from link, Du can take the Bilder from there and try it yourself if Du want. Anyway here's the pictures:

The Weiter example is one of the Fairy Godmother's appearence, which looks like to be an example of a causality of the restoration's efforts to remove dirt and grain, which I've heard one way of doing so is cutting out the Animation and "dustbusting" the frame and then putting back in the animation. I don't know what went on, maybe they didn't bother to carefully cut out all the animation, oder maybe in removing grain and dirt they removed the tiniest details like the stars of Disney dust, but...

In the first picture, notice the stars of fairy dust on the Fairy Godmother's coat. In the Sekunde picture, the one from the 2005 restoration, the stars are gone. And yes, I swear these are the very same frames:

So Disney has removed actual Animation in their restoring. It's very bad, very careless, and not okay at all.

Now here are pictures Wird angezeigt that in some scenes, the Fairy Godmother's lighter blue oben, nach oben (top picture) was accidentally changed to the same blue as the rest of her dress (bottom picture):

Finally, the biggest tragedy to me, of course. The debauchery of Walt Disney's, and my own, Favorit piece of Disney animation, the transformation of Cinderella's gown. In these sets of pictures, all Du have to do is look closely at the Disney dust, the magic fairy dust around her, most especially looking at the dust around her arms and head:

So did Du notice that in the Sekunde picture of each set, the ones from the 2005 restoration, that they have diminished and even possibly somewhat removed some of the magical special effects animation? It even looks like the magic dust above her arms and head has mostly dissappeared. And this was Walt Disney's Favorit animation.

Here are two Bilder to take an even closer look at what I think was the worse restored frame of the transformation. The oben, nach oben picture is before the restoration, the bottom picture is after. It's like none of the magic dust is in the after picture!

I also have a full HD (apparently, from Disney Screenaps again), but cropped picture of Aschenputtel in mid-transformation to Zeigen Du all how it looks close up. On the entire thing it looks like not all the detail of the image is there, but look especially at Cinderella's hands and thumb, especially her right hand and thumb (her right, not you're right!). Doesn't it look like they cropped off some of the detail, for whatever reason, in their "restoring"?

So there it is. I hope I have properly shown and explained to everyone how Disney did indeed restore Aschenputtel for 2005 in not just a wrong way, but a terrible, careless, disrespectful way.

I ask Du to please, if Du can, spread the word. Linking to this thread would be great, but Du can copy my pictures and Zeigen them on other sites oder Foren too (I'd rather Du linked to this Artikel with my full amount of pictures and explanations though). I'd like to Zeigen Disney, too, but I don't know how.

Thanks for taking the time to read this and for any help oder comments.
