Anybody have both a normal speed version and a time-compressed version of the same cartoon?

Animated cartoons compressed for time appear hazier than cartoons not compressed for time.

And in most cases, time compressed cartoons have the audio pitch a tad higher, typically if it's a PAL transfer from an NTSC video. This is due to NTSC video running at 29.97 frames per second, but with PAL it's 25.
I've often taken copies of my time-compressed cartoons and slowed them down to 95-96 percent, and usually the results are good, like when I did my updated version of "Fiesta Fiasco" a while back:

The video sometimes gets cropped too. "Duck Amuck" was a travesty to watch in its time compressed format.

?? Time compression in and of itself doesn't have any effect on the framing or composition of the image.
