Little Mermaid = Non Anamorphic

Old Bugs Life = Anamorphic (and it was the first 'toon released by Disney on DVD!)

Lady and the Tramp = not anamorphic

101 Dalmation = 1.33:1 aspect ratio - it can't be anamorphic because it is not a widescreen movie - it wasn't ever made widescreen.

No, the only A Bug's Life DVDs that have been anamorphic are the 2-Disc Collector's Edition. The 'standard' edition that was first released by Disney and then repackage as a Gold Collection DVD were non-anamorphic.

Wow, I go to two days of classes, and then come back and learn more from this one thread! Thanks.
