Tonight, on the Clamp Cable Classic Movie Channel, don’t miss Casablanca, now in full color with a happier ending. — Gremlins 2:  The New Batch

There are some things that can be improved, and there are a lot of things that are better left the heck alone.  Black and white is not improved by colorizing, either in photographs or movies.  Literature written when things that make us blanch now were common phrases does not need a rewrite, and neither do classic cartoons.  The fact that such things were acceptable at one time or another is part of our history, and we risk repeating the past when we ignore it.  Antique guns, even those available in their millions, don’t deserve to be chopped up, chromed, painted, and have doodads hung from them.

To quote pdb – Is fine!  Learn to appreciate things from the past for what they are, and stop trying to gild the lily.
