is that the original oar of the movie trippin

O.A.R. = original aspect ratio. So are you really asking if this is "the original original aspect ratio of the movie" or do you just not know what you're saying? In any case, <i>Lady and the Tramp</i> has two original theatrical aspect ratios, one widescreen and one Academy.

Yes, but not the complete "Cavalcade of Songs" show. Isn't it fun to have your tv-shows delivered as jig-saw puzzles, one piece at a time?

"original oar" again!

Anyways, if it's as deathie suspects, we may get a slightly truncated 2.35:1 aspect ratio from a 35mm print as opposed to its Cinemascope 2.55:1 aspect ratio.

Lukester, did the press release specify if the fullscreen version is the alternate Academy-drawn or if it's simply a Pan & Scan of the widescreen?

Either way, widescreen's the way to go on Lady and the Tramp.

I've seen press materials call it "Pan & Scan", but I've also heard from someone supposedly involved with the DVD that it will be the version filmed for the Academy Ratio. I doubt we'll have a definitive answer until review copies go out around the middle of February.

i cant wait to see it in widescreen its gonna be so great whoo hoo

How come (most/all) Walt Disney films are in fullscreen? I'm not complaining, just wondering because all movies these days are widescreen.

Because the movie makers decided to switch from the Academy ratio (1.37:1) to a widescreen ratio (1.66:1-2.75:1) as a gimmick to give them an advantage over television and hopefully draw more people to theatres.

That's the laymen's answer, anyways. I'm sure deathie mouse could give you an essay on this that you wouldn't understand )

Movies from about the mid 50's onwards are widescreen, so Disney movies from before that are "square". If you mean Disney movies after that, it's because the home video department thought they would look more "family friendly" presented "square" to the consumer, cus they have "square" TVs.

Is that simple enuff?

I'll go in a bit more detail. There are a few reasons for this...

1. The first fourteen features (Snow White to Peter Pan), as well as many shorts were made before widescreen became the norm for both short subjects and feature films, so obviously, the Academy Ratio was really the lone option.

2. Most animated stuff made by Disney from the 60s and 70s was filmed in the Academy Ratio, but was made fit for theatrical cropping down to average widescreen (1:85:1 or so) at the top and bottom of the frame, with a lot of the material in such spaces being somewhat pointless. This was probably done due to reasons to do with TV and also economic reasons (apparently animating in fullscreen is cheaper than with wider ratios). The DVDs present the original animation frames.

3. Various stuff was made for TV by Disney, so they would obviously be in a 1:33:1 ratio due to the dimensions of television.

4. Some Disney films that were made in widescreen have been cropped to fullscreen on video and DVD in the past, as deathie has mentioned, probably as people hate black bars when they actually save images...

Wonderlicious.

Yes Deathie?

According to Buena Vista in Sweden, the aspect ratio of the Lady and the Tramp DVD will be 2.55:1. Let's hope they know what they're talking about...

Disneyshopping.com now Lady and the Tramp for pre-order with 4 lithographs for $19.99, or with lithos, 2 pushes, and a pin for $29.99.

Is the image anamorphic?

I do hate the letterbox versions (for example the Cinemascope cartoons on the new Disney Rarities set and the Academy-Award-winning Grand Canyon on the 2-disk set of Sleeping Beauty).

I've never actually seen LATT, so I'm really looking forward to February 28th. I had nearly every Disney movie on VHS when I was little, except for LATT and a couple of others. I hope this is a good movie. Oh, who am I kidding? It's Disney in its prime- of course it's good.

I posted the menu captures of the French 2 Disc Special Edition in the International forum, but as it will certainly be the same for the US release, here's the link:

Boo!

Did I scare anybody? Probably not...
...it's been a while since I posted here, but I can't wait for Lady And The Tramp. My favorite Disney movie, period!

i'm also very exciting

You're quite full of yourself, aren't you?

I really hope the menus are different for the region 1 release. Taking screens from the actual movie and putting them onto a menu isn't really my definition of creative.

As long as the menus are animated I'm fine with them.
