The framing is delicately balanced, masking off extraneous portions of the image at the top and bottom that are seen on the standard cassette version, while revealing a wider horizontal view.

This is also the first DVD from Disney to be anamorphically compatible with widescreen 16x9 TV s. Stephen Warbeck's romantic score soars, and the clever use of sound effects creates a richly-textured aural tapestry. Fairly appropriate treatment for a popular hit and Best Picture Oscar winner. Disappointingly, this DVD is a no-frills version, featuring only the theatrical trailer. Though representatives at Buena Vista Home Video had no official comment, there's strong buzz hinting at a forthcoming special edition DVD , possibly licensed through The Criterion Collection, or simply issued as a Miramax Collector's Series edition.
