Do you have a copy of the original video release of Bambi?  I have it from 
about 6 years ago when it was released.  The back of the box says it has 
digitally re-mastered audio and video, and it's in HiFi stereo.  *Now*, on 
TV, ads say the *new* release was again fully restored.  You can only restore 
something so much!  There's a certain point where you just can't enhance 
something that's already so perfect.  I'd be really curious to see if here is 
any detectable difference between the 1991 release of Bambi on video, and the 
1997 release (other than the box art, and that little 15 minute documentary 
at the end describing the restoral process).  The 1991 release of Bambi was 
gorgeous, and with fully redigitized video, I can't see how it could be 
improved for it's current release.  So I think the TV ad is hype to encourage 
sales.  If anyone has anything to the contrary to report, please do!
