I need to buy some Disney DVDs TODAY before the BOGOF offer expires!

However, I believe that in Region 2, Brother Bear is in Pan and Scan. Is this true? (www.dvd-compare.net is having technical problems! And I can't find any other decent DVD comparing site.)

Also, should I buy HOTR in Region 2, as I believe that it has also been subjected to editing?

I need to pick one of those along with Chicken Little. Please help me guys!

Thank you!

(Now to continue my homework....)

Brother Bear is "family friendly" widescreen, meaning 1.66:1 which is more ridiculous than a proper pan&scan. I'd go with R1 for Brother Bear. I don't believe Home on the Range has been edited though.

Unfortunately, Region 1 titles are not eligible to the offer. I believe Home on the Range was edited to remove the rude jokes so as to attain a U DVD rating in the UK.

Sad to say, but Brother Bear is a cropped version outside of the USA, Canada and France (since it had two aspect ratios, they shortened the 2:35:1 scenes down to 1:66:1 to match the rest of the film, aka the first ten minutes ). As far as I'm aware, Home on the Range has not been edited at any time or place, and it's not cropped, so get that instead. They're both very good films, although being honest, not being spine-tinglingly excellent.

I've ordered Chicken Little and Home on the Range from Play.com with the BOGOF offer. I just hope HOTR doesn't have any drastic editing. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Rewind says there's no cuts for Home on the Range.

That is so odd! I'm almost positive I read that Home on the Range had cuts to remove crude jokes on Rewind; on that very same page!!

Anyway, thanks Netty and ichabod for the assurances that HOTR has no cuts. (ichabod replied on the International DVD Forum).
