25% Less Movie than the Original!
The original theatrical version of this film was NOT widescreen. For this DVD, Disney took a non-widescreen movie and MADE it widescreen. What does this mean for you? Less movie! Since they cannot "add" footage to fill in the sides of a widescreen TV, the only way they can do it is to zoom into the picture and crop out the top and bottom! This destroys any sense of composition those poor layout artists worked so hard to achieve, and is essentially like watching the film with your eyes half closed. In order to fill your widescreen television, and tout this release as "Enhanced for 16x9 Televisions," Disney thought it was a good idea to bring you 25% LESS movie. If viewed on a standard TV, you now see black bars at the top and bottom of our screen, where there were none before!Get the "Disney Gold Classic Collection" version if you want to see the film in its entirety.
