But IIRC there was some color grading gaffe because the original colors were precompensated for film ( they originally filmed the renders ) - but this lead to oversaturation and color changes in the digital renders. So in some way they did meet a similar fate.
Absolutely, but OP was thinking of colours being messed up because of a format transfer.
They would have needed to look at the 35mm negative of Toy Story from '95, picked up the colours from there to then put an intermediate colour correction step. They didn't do it, which is a shame. We lost artistic intent.
