I just noticed that the Disney website is finally listing aspect ratios for the April 12th catolog releases. They are all to be full frame (1.33: 1). This differs from Ultimate Disney's listing of Bullwhip Griffin which was supposed to be 1.66:1 and 16x9 enhanced. The two titles I was interested in owning are "Adventures of Bullwhip Griffin", and "The Million Dollar Duck". However I will buy them only if they are un-cropped full frame camera negatives. If there is any evidence that the sides of the picture was cropped off, I will sadly have to pass them up.

I'm a major Hayley Mills fan & I see that In Search Of The Castaways is listed as 1.33:1 & the fate of Summer Magic & That Darn Cat is unknown. If they bastardize these like they did The Moon-Spinners that'll be 3 lost sales. It's a shame that one of their big stars with 6 major films (not counting made for tv sequels) only had 2 done right. They really did a great job with Parent Trap & Pollyanna & appear to not care about the other 4. For shame.

Hold on!!

Hold the phone everypne. On IMDB, it says that, for BULLWHIP, the NEGATIVE was 35mm AND the PRINT was in 35mm. Maybe that IS the correct OAR?

35mm is not an aspect ratio, it is the stock size.
