Not that long ago, Cinderella was released on the Blu-ray format and you might think that's great - you can finally watch the classic film in high definition from the comfort of your own couch.

One of the biggest critics of the Cinderella Blu-ray restoration is Imgur user i124nk8. "They misnamed ‘Cinderella’ if they think they restored it. Restored should restore detail and not remove it completely,” said the user in a recent interview with Bored Panda. “The live-action remakes are soulless. Don’t ask me, ask my 4 and 6-year-old daughters. They will always choose the animated original over the live-action remakes.”
The die-hard Cinderella fans are saying Disney practically ruined the film by changing the colors and lighting and even scrubbing out some lines. Others, however, say that people are blowing this way out of proportion.
Some people were even comparing the Blu-ray release to Cecilia Giménez's 2012 restoration of the Ecce Homo painting.

"Look at the loss of detail in the grass on the BD. Look at the fuzziness of every single line. Look at the loss of detail and shades on the trees," writes user Freddy2.

"The wanted poster looked like old paper with sharp printing on it. Now it looks flat and out of focus. Not to mention the DNR effect on the wood structure and the loss of contrast in the closet."
