Nice collection twm30! That's probably the largest DVD collection i've ever seen.

Wow! That is amazing, I'm so jealous.

Thanks RJKD23;

I'm from Northern California, so Region 1 is my home region.
I like some of the Taiwanese Region 3 Disney DVDs that I have because they included English DTS soundtracks that were not available on our region 1 disc (Monsters, Lion King, Nemo).

Looks like my Disney Animated DVDcollection minus 101 Dalmatians, Lady and the Tramp, The Jungle Book. The Little Mermaid is on it's way to my home....

Great Collection twm30!!!!!

How do you know the person doesn't have a full screen TV?

It doesn't matter if it's full screen t.v. with a full screen DVD. That's still a no-no. Don't you know you're losing picture?! (Isn't Indiana Jones OAR shot in widescreen...?)

I TOTALL AGREE!!!!! THANK YOU!!! Even if you have a Foolscreen TV get WIDESCREEN!!!!!!!!!!! It will still make a HUGE difference! I'd rather watch a movie in WIDESCREEN on a 5" TV than a movie in foolscreen on a 50" TV

Personally I don't see that big of a differences width wise when I watch a movie in full screen or in widescreen. Shrugs.

Trust me, when you'll see films filmed in scope cropped down to full screen pan & scan you'll see a HUGE difference! (for example: Atlantis, Spiderman...)

Yes, Widescreen is so much better than Foolscreen. Yesterday my mom bought National Treasure. And we watched it last night, and I was so mad that she bought it in Foolscreen, I saw it in the theatre 2 times and you miss so much on the Foolscreen Version. I mean it is so silly we have a Widescreen TV and she won't even buy Widescreen Movies lol.

The DVD movies I buy are Widescreen if they're available in Widescreen. I had a The Sound Of Music VHS and it was Fullscreen. I recently bought a Widescreen version of The Sound Of Music and you can tell the difference.

Maybe I'm in the extreme minority, but I recently watched The Sound of Music in widescreen, and while I did enjoy it much more...I think I'd prefer watching it in fullscreen. Maybe because I've seen it so many times when I was little that I got used to seeing only 4 kids when I should see 7.

I prefer fullscreen..but then again thats just me I unno I never like the black bars on my screen while Im watching a DVD.. Actually yesterday I went to Bestbuy and a worker told me that soon they are going to stop making fullscreen and only make Widescreen, but don't quote me on that! I jsut heard it from a worker.. so there you have it!!!!

I used to hate those black bars but you get used to it. When I watch a WS movie now, I don't even notice those black bars. When I bought The Incredibles, I looked to make sure it was WS as I want to watch a movie in OAR. Watch the movie in the dark and you don't see those black bars.

I've actually got movies where there's both WS and FS in the set and you can choose which one you like.

It boggles me so many people can watch full screen... Meh, their choice.

I might take a picture of my whole DVD collection... Being 14 years old I only have like 5 Disney DVDs.

Don't worry Escapay, I had a similar encounter with Sleeping Beauty. I had the first UK video release (from 1989, 3 years after the first US release ) and watched the pan and scan version over and over again for many years. When I first saw the widescreen version in October of last year, I thought that it wasn't as good as the fullscreen version as that had more sentimental value. I've seen it in widescreen again since, and I do prefer it much much more on second viewing, though. The art work is beautiful.

My camera just arrived today!!
I used this as my first test shot, still getting used to it. I just edited the two pics together.
