Computer Wore Tennis Shoes, Devil and Max Devlin widescreen?

Post by ichabod »

Does anyone own or know of the UK releases of The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes or The Devil and Max Devlin are widescreen. Disney is claiming they are, but they also said that the Gnome Mobile was widescreen and we know what happened there! :roll:

The UK Devil and Max Devlin is widescreen. Not sure if it's exactly 1.85:1 as claimed, but most of the time these tend to be 1.78:1 anyway.
Most of my Blu-ray collection some of my UK discs aren't on their database

Devil and Max Devlin is an 80s movie so the 1.85:1 ratio seems to be right. Older Disney movies from the 50s-some of the 70s used a 1.78:1 - 1.75:1 Ratio

No the UK version of The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes is not widescreen - it´s plain Fullscreen, the same as the US release.

Thanks, for your help guys!

Typical that The computer wore tennis shoes would be FS, it's not the first time they've claimed a DVD is WS and it isn't, it 's the Gnome Mobile saga all over again!

The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes is "open matte" - just zoom in on your widescreen TV and it will look the same as it did in the cinema (i.e. 1.78:1)

If you don't have a widescreen telly just cover up the top and bottom of the screen!

So the Computer Wore Tennis shoes was open Matte!
That's OK then, i don't mind buying a fullscreen DVD if the film was open matte.

Remember that most standart (flat/spherical) widescreen movies (1.66/1.75/1.85) are shot in open matte cus they are shot in Academy sound cameras without modifcation so potentially most 4:3 versions of them might end in some kind of open matted-ness-y framing..

So maybe renting and trying the zooming/masking on a particular title might be a good idea
