Windowboxing of Steamboat Willie (and others)?
Windowboxing of Steamboat Willie (and others)?
I was reading the review for the Vintage Mickey DVD, and it reminded me of a question I've had ever since the Treasures... Exactly why is "Steamboat Willie" windowboxed? I know about overscan, but that still doesn't account for just how windowboxed "Steamboat Willie" is.

The answer you seek is probably <a href="http://www.ultimatedisney.com/forum/vie ... 2">here</a>. Tho that doesn't really justify the windowboxing of it instead of just filling the DVD's 480 pixel picture height with image and letting the short end up slightly pillarboxed. I guess they "Windowbox" those to make people not notice they're NOT in the Academy 1.375 aspect ratio and storm the castle with complaints. (Yeah, weird logic
