Sometimes the world is better seen in black and white

Another travesty.

Why would big movie houses even think about colorising the big 3 goofballs? that's like saying "the sky has been blue too long, lets make it pink"

Black & White TV shows and films should be left in their monochrome glory.

Do we want our kids growing up thinking that colour back then was strange shades of auburn with unnatural halo of green? Colorising classic cartoons like steamboat willy so that it'll appeal to a new demographic is one thing.altho' kids nowadays are so used to the slick cell animation and CG inspired stuff that traditional classics like that are gonna look like really cheesy B flicks from the 70s.

Colour is arbritrary. would To kill a mockingbird (which was colourised, i think) be any less impactfull as black and white? my knowledge of old movies is limited. but i do believe that these classics deserve to be left as is. Imagine watching the Longest Day and seeing the badly coloured uniforms and a pasty John Wayne gracing the screen.

You dont mess with the classics
