No... they re-scanned the original film from the archives, the original cells weren't touched, nor do they exist anymore.

I wasn't aware there was a difference.  Isn't a cell just a frame from the original film?
Anyway, I think the point is that they sampled the original film instead of just upconverting the laserdisc source (at least that was Chad's question).

No, the animation cells are the hand drawn/painted clear sheets of "paper". These are photographed in a certain order to make the film.

In any event, if they scanned the original film to make a new digital master, and then made an HD encode from that; it would definitely be an improvement over the laserdiscs (especially if they restored/cleaned the film [if necessary]). This is the same process used to make HD movies from live-action films.

This is a case where animation differs from live action.  Obviously in live action you can't reshoot the footage so the film is as far back as you go... with animation, if the original hand drawn cels still exist, you can remaster from those and essentially recreate the footage in a pure manner.

That is an excellent point, and one I had not really thought through.  A woman may look hot from a far...but as you get closer, you can see the effects from the ugly stick...but if you look at her with a magnifying glass...you can see the backward 'Made in China' indentations on her from the stick.
