It depends on who you ask—restorationist Robert Harris said it looked great and that he felt like Disney selecting a specific color palette for it wasn't problematic, and that attempting to match the original was probably impossible. But others take issue with that view and feel like Disney sacrificed an effort to match the original theatrical release in favor of colors that "pop" and appeal to consumers who feel like their movies should look snazzier.

Originally Posted By mawnck Worth noting … the color adjustments on the earlier editions are nothing to write home about either, for various reasons. There hasn't been a home video release of Peter Pan on ANY format that's "gotten it right" by my standards. So for me, the Blu Ray is as good as any, and better than some.
