It’s a gorgeous looking disc! It’s just such a natural filmic image. Nothing particularly revelatory but everything done right in terms of grain and HDR grading. Never owned the Blu-ray but have seen the film many times growing up. Absolutely the best it has looked for home consumption.
I did watch my 4K copy last night and concur it's absolutely SUPERB on EVERY LEVEL. Written in just 6 days, I consider Ferris to be John Hughes masterpiece. Finally, cinematographer Tak Fujimoto's glorious images of the Windy City come alive like never before.
Heard it’s a wonderful upgrade just a little confusing that Disney dropped the mono track and the repurposed the 7.1 audio from the 2012 blu-ray???At a certain age, I should think one outgrows their childhood obsession with all things DISNEY .... as in their animated glories of yesterday but last night I bit the bullet and watched in AWE as Disney's new HDR10/Dolby Vision Native UHD4K restoration of CINDERELLA graced my video screen. At a brisk 74 minutes in length, Walt's NINE OLD MEN as he referred to his brilliant animation department delivered a heartfelt rendering of the age old tale in spectacular fashion. This 1:37:1 4K UPGRADE is a visual feast to behold with a sturdy repurposed DTS~HD MA 5.1 soundtrack [no original MONO is included].
EXTREMELY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED and forget your age ...... Cinderella as envisioned by Walt and his NINE OLD MEN continues to delight to this day.

And JAQ and GUS Agree!
NOT TO WORRY. The new DTS~HD MA 5.1 track is just fine! Combined with the exquisite visuals, it's a STELLAR UPGRADE! No hiss nor distortion whatsoever!
I bought several classic Disney animated titles on LaserDisc back in the day, and I’m gradually replacing my LD movies with BDs. Snow White, Cinderella, Bambi, Dumbo (if you can find it), Fantasia (still only DVD, alas), and a few more.At a certain age, I should think one outgrows their childhood obsession with all things DISNEY .... as in their animated glories of yesterday but last night I bit the bullet and watched in AWE as Disney's new HDR10/Dolby Vision Native UHD4K restoration of CINDERELLA graced my video screen.

Fantasia/Fantasia 2000 are NOW available on blu ray disc from AmazonUS for as low as $6 [used in GOOD condition]
De Palma rules! One of the long-take masters.Last night I also revisited Brian De Palma's controversial 1980 production DRESSED TO KILL via Kino Lorber's recent Native UHD4K remaster [with a separate BD~V of Special Features]. One forgets how racy a production De Palma concocted and this release is UNRATED!
A visual feast for the eyes and watching the separate BD~V with hours of special features makes one appreciate the visual style and execution even more!
DtK has been called a Hitchcock rip off but I disagree! It's more of a hommage to Hitchcock's unique style and Pino Donaggios musical scoring is superb.
IMO, KL has done a remarkable 4K restoration and it comes very highly recommended.
