For the movie's 30th anniversary, the Turner Entertainment Company created a new print to be used for a theatrical re-issue, and new home videos. Over the years, heavy demand for prints around the world had left the original negative worn and scratched, forcing MGM to use duplicate negatives for some sequences. Fortunately, the original negative had not suffered from color degeneration, so technicians created new printing masters that eliminated the scratches. They also returned to the original sound elements to create a new soundtrack that was then recorded in DTS Digital Stereo. When the new version premiered at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, some viewers thought the movie looked even better than it had at its premiere.
