The ratio for One of Our Dinosaurs is WS 1:66:1. It arrived this morning

Have not seen the others in the shops.

I also bought the original Freaky Friday last week at that too is WS.

I'm not sure those other titles are actually out. I'm still waiting for the Devil and Max Devlin to be sent - supposedly this was out at the start of April.

Yes, One of Our Dinosaurs Is Missing is 1.66:1, which is most probably the correct aspect ratio, being a popular European ratio in the late 60's and early 70's.

Watchig the film again, I'm amazed at how un-PC it is... much worse than Song of the South with English actors "yellowed" up as Chinaman and speaking in silly accents. I'm surprised Maltin doesn't pop-up before the film starts to place it all into context!

Is in HMV Oxford Street. I have not seen the others, but I have not really looked. Most of the liveaction films tend not to be with the other Disney stuff, but in amongst the normal films section

Shipwrecked is in widescreen

Assuming the UK disc is the same as the German one - likely, since the opening screen gives the choice between English & German - the aspect ratio is 4:3 - several people lose parts of their names in the opening credits
