I just showed Toy Story to my kids. It looked really bad. Mostly textures and lighting.
I wonder if artificial grain would actually make it look better.
Like when the game Splinter Cell was released, there weee two additional ‘views’ simulating infrared and thermal cameras. Those had heavy noise added to them and felt so real compared to the main view.
Pixar did re-renders of Toy Story.
