This source tells that the full-screen version will be "Pan And Scan" — not the Academy version...?

Probably the "enhanced picture" means anamorphic but I won't believe it before I have the disk in my player.

DVDExclusive.com has an article about Disney's Animation Research Library, which mentions Lady and the Tramp.

It is an interesting read.

I guess that a lot of you already know this, but I'm going to inform you anyway that Disney updated their web site for LATT.

So, why didn't Disney decided to release the movie on Feb. 14 or at the beginning of the month?

We all know this movie is associated with love? So why if the movies was already going to be released on Feb. didn't Disney decided to release it on an appropiate date to increase sales?

They always release their Platinum Editions the first weeks of October & March so they just are sticking to tradition. They just decided to release L&TT on the last day of February instead of March 7th this time.

I cant wait for this to come out! I enjoyed it when it came out for the first time and is one of my favorites!

You know, the famous spaghetti scene has been announced as the most Famous and recognizable scene EVER BEEN IN A MOVIE!!!! Leaving BEHIND that scene from Titanic and the other one from Gone with the Wind!!!! I mean, only for this, it should be released on February 14th!!!

DVD Times has a review up. It is for the Region 2 release, but it does give us some idea of what to expect.

Also, within the article, is a link to a comparison between the Region 1 Limited Issue release, and the Region 2 new release. Make sure to look for that.

Very cool! It looks like the new transfer is awesome! I can't wait for this release!!!

According to DVD Fanboy, Wal-Mart is going to have an exclusive CD bundled with select copies of Lady And The Tramp.

Ah, the reviewer in MadonnasManOne's link, while talking about the ratio comparison on the "Making Of" documentary, uses as aspect ratio example the attacking dogs which was the image that we the motley crew of <a href="http://www.ultimatedisney.com/forum/vie ... mateDisney - The source for everything DisneyDVD</a> used two Summers ago to determine and announce to the world that Lady and the Tramp was indeed filmed for a 2.55 aspect ratio and not the 2.35 one that was previously commonly thought and in what the earlier DVD had been incorrectly transfered!


A poster there also linked an <a href="http://www.smecc.org/hewlett-packard,_t ... article</a> where it is mentioned that Lady and the Tramp's original soundtrack was indeed Stereophonic and therefore multichannel (Remember that Stereophonic CinemaScope meant a 4.0 discrete channels magnetic sound track )

I forgot that the DVD will have a documentary feature. I only have two more weeks to pre-order the DVD from my local Disney Store. I want the lithographs.

I did not know that movies had four-channel sound fifty years ago. I learned something new.

Starion, Fantasia had it more than 65 years ago

CINERAMA (1952) movies had 7 channels
CinemaScope (1953) (and later even some Standard Widescreen prints) had 4
70mm (1955) had 6

Ben Hur in UltraPanavision/MGMCamera65 (1959), using Perspectra coding to move the surround channel arround brought up the number of channels to 8

of course, Fantasia actualy seems to've used a kind of "human" manned Perspectra "code" (probably a paper with instructions ) so in that sense on theaters equiped with the full 90 Fantasound speakers and a skilled Fanta "dude", it woulda been truly a most multichannely esperience, if not the most

The sneak peeks segment of the upcoming Lady and the Tramp Platinum Edition DVD reveals that a special edition of Lady and the Tramp II: Scamp's Adventure is coming soon and has a brand new Brother Bear II trailer in which Rutt and Tuke pay homage to Lady and the Tramp (no, they're not slurping spaghetti together). More information on the Lady and the Tramp Platinum Edition DVD will be revealed here at Animated News prior to its release on February 28.

So I guess Lady and the Tramp 2 Scamp's Adventure will get a new edition but it might just be once disc.

Just saw a review online of the new LatT PE due out on the 28th.
Take a look.

Sounds like the picture is about as good as it gets. Sounds pretty promising.

this dvd has the most beautiful menus I´ve ever seen, not only for a platinum, not even for a disney dvd, but for a dvd at all!!

Thanks for the information deathie mouse. According to the review at DVDFile, the DVD will come with a mono track. Cool. I'm going to listen to the 5.1 and mono soundtracks when I get the DVD.

I really do love the Menus on this DVD very, very beautiful!!

I think DVDFile might have made an error, it's supposed to be a DEHT 5.1 mix and the original magnetic 4-track Stereophonic mix. DVDFile also lists 2.40 and 1.33 as the aspect ratios on their table at the right, while they say it's 2.55 on the review. 2.40 was the Scope print ratio from the 70's up, but it hasn't been that neither since the 35mm digital sound mid-nineties (it's 2.39 now).
Academy and DVDs are 1.37 not 1.33 It's analog TV and Silent movies that are 1.33

But till the disc gets reviewed here , who knoz

There are 3 DEHT 5.1 tracks (English, French, Spanish) and a Dolby 3.0 track, which is billed as "Restored Original Theatrical Soundtrack."

Is the 4:3 version the Academy version? (you can do this by checking the positions of the dogs in the cornering scene half way through the film).

What a novel idea.
