Good content, bad DVD transfer

"These are the Seuss features we all know and love. There's only one problem: the DVD transfer. So far I've only watched "The Cat In The Hat" and "The Grinch Grinches The Cat In The Hat". "The Cat In The Hat" seemed to be as I recall on television so many moons ago. But it's "The Grinch Grinches The Cat In The Hat" that the DVD transfer is pathetic at best. If you bought the original "How The Grinch Stole Christmas" DVD, you'll know what I'm talking about. The color is erratic. The color of the Grinch goes from brown to yellow to mustard to light green to dark green. The color of the Grinch's car goes from brown to blue to purple. I never saw this feature before, but I can say with near certainty that this psychedelic rainbow effect was not in the original airing, nor was it intended. It certainly detracts from the feature, making for a sub-par product (much like the original "How The Grinch Stole Christmas" DVD which I purchased but refuse to watch after seeing it once, instead relying on my old VHS where the colors are correct)."
