be me raining on other people's parade.

I meant to say that this version is fine, as much as the previous one, but that except for correcting some textual details it was the same. So anybody who saw the other one would not be having a new experience. I've got a couple of elderly relatives who will not be seeing this one because they have been satisfied with the other one all these years. For anybody who hasn't see it from before, it's fine.

I mean, the updated sound and visuals are fine, like upgrading a car or appliance. And the music can be heard all over YouTube with any number of wonderful orchestras, so...

I'll stop.
