Product: Bebe, Un Coninito Va Muy Lejos (Babe -- Spanish edition) [VHS] (1995)
Rating: 1.0
Great movie but I won't buy it.
I rented this movie several years ago, played it on a VHS and regular TV and thought it was excellent. The story, cinematography, special effects, and setting are superb (and I'm 58 years old, not a kid). Recently I upgraded my audio/visual home theater set up to the tune of ($)which included a new Sony 34" widescreen HDTV (incredible). Building a DVD library, Babe was one of a number of DVD's I wanted to include.Come to find out it has only been released on DVD in Full Screen (Standard) - 1.33:1 format, not widescreen. What a disappointment. Come on Universal Studios. Whoever made that decision, IMHO, is a dolt. Fire that guy and issue Babe in widescreen anamorphic. A beautiful film squeezed into Standard format, what a shame.Some older films (DVD's), like Casablanca and Dr. Strangelove, I watch often on the widescreen TV, even though they are the standard aspect ratio. But these were originally produced in that aspect ratio, Babe was not.In widescreen anamorphic Babe is without a doubt 5 stars. In DVD Standard it's not worth watching on a widescreen HDTV because what nags at the back of my mind is how beautiful it could really be.
