Umm, why give Annie a DTS track and then crop the image to 1.33:1? I watched this film in pan and scan for the last time on the Disney channel a few months ago.

I hope that the DVDAnswers site is incorrect.

Well, I am officially ticked off. A Panavision film previously available on laser and DVD in the proper aspect ration (and 16x9 in the latter), now in a "special" edition in pan and scan, with extras that wouldn't impress a small child.

"It's the hard-knock life for us,
It's the hard-knock life for us,
'Stead of treated we get tricked,
'Stead of kisses we get kicked,
It's the hard-knock life!"

Does anybody think this scene will be cut from the Siskel and Ebert episode on the Critic?

I doubt it. Siskel was appearing as himself here, so he was obviously okay with the material. That should mute any criticism of it being it bad taste.

I absolutey LOVE Barny Miller.I will be getting that !

Too bad about "Annie" but a real special edition would be welcome:

widescreen

Original 1982 documentary which aired on PBS at the time of the opening: "Lights, Camera, Annie"

Origially shot songs (Different staging/concept from actual film: "Easy Street" "Never Fully Dressed" "Maybe"

Original opening (Follows Broadway show concept with Annie escaping)

Many interviews/ Radio City premiere
History on Broadway show etc

Maybe....tomorrow
