I just bought the 2 disc set of the Fleisher cartoons and Lost Episodes. They were perhaps restored but they are not sharp at all. They look about as good as a VHS Tape at EP. The opening menu is very sharp like a DVD should be but the cartoons are very soft in focus. These cartoons were on Nikolodeon some time ago and comparing my EP tapes recorded then and the DVD that I just bought, I have to say my EP tape looks MUCH better. There must have been something wrong with the dubbing process as I was expecting to be dazzled not disappointed.
