for what it's worth

I agree with you 100%.

While the animation movies produced nowadays look totally awesome, I have a feeling that this "no noise, no artifacts, no grain, etc" has had an ill affect on non-animation movies. People expect, unknowingly, all movies to be computer-derived perfect. It's a shame that movie studios are doing the opposite of what should be done -- educate. They could even include an option in the disc's menu to show the buyer, via a scene from the movie, what the actual digitized film looks like (no processing whatsoever: grain, dirt, specs, artifacts, etc), what it looks like when properly processed and what it looks like when the majority of the grain and fine detail are stripped away, leaving the viewer with a presentation very much not like the director intended.
