Why does Disney threat the rest of europe worse than France?

[advance]

Wat I read France gets better Covers with a lot of movies, and now with Brother Bear the France Version have the aspect ratio of 2.35.1 with the aspect ratio change like in the cinema. the Benelux version(and Uk if I'm Right) got a 1.66 aspect ratio.
The France version have Dutch subtitles only no Dutch Soundtrack or Englisch DTS, But Englisch DD, France DD and France DTS. The site DVDINFO says that You can better buy the France Version of Brother Bear, eventough the english track is only DD.

Most decisions come from the American Buena Vista Home Entertainment and are based on research they perform in the specific countries. Only, the Buena Vista office in that country has the possibility to approve or decline the decision Buena Vista America made. In this case, Buena Vista France probably went crazy and even sended in their own decisions (and Buena Vista America probably approved). Most countries just follow Buena Vista America's decisions blindly. I guess Buena Vista France doesn't...

The whole European/American relationship in a nutshell The English meekly do whatever America says to perserve the "special relationship" while France stands up for their own ideals and rights.

Who would have thought Buena Vista International would mirror international politics?

There are other European countries, like the Scandinavian edition, that luckily did get the correct aspect ratio. I will never understand why anyone releases full screen versions of movies.

If I'm not mistaking it wasn't really fullscreen... I think Disney just did something weird with the image, I'll try to explain in steps:

1. They cut off the top and bottom pieces of the real fullscreen section in the movie (the part before Kenai's change to a bear).
2. The real widescreen part was now too big, so they cut off a little part at the top and at the bottom and cut off big parts on the left and right.
3. You now have the same picture for the whole movie. The part before Kenai's change was edited a little, but the part after Kenai's change was just massacred.

I'm not sure if it's correct, what I'm saying. I just thought they did it that way...
