    So, judging by the lack of any news, I'm assuming this hasn't been updated to support retina iPads. Can anyone confirm this?

    No, and it won't, since the original animation was never captured in HD (it was on laserdisc which I believe was no better than dvd quality). It will only get upscaled on the new iPad's retina display - which means it will be slightly fuzzy.

    EDIT: sorry for the double post.

    I was thinking that maybe they had originally done the animation on film before transferring it to the LaserDisc, and that for the new release they had re-scanned it to a modern video format. But if what you say is true, then it's kind of dumb they ever called it "HD" in the first place I think. Yeah, I know, in iOS land "HD" means "we didn't want to make a universal binary so here's the iPad version" but when you're talking about something from a famous film animator...

    If its anything like the act, it should still look solid on the new iPad.
