But I thought I read it was changed on later pressings of the soundtrack. True?

Can someone clarify something for me. On DVDFile, they state that the movie will be featured in "anamorphic widescreen, family-friendly 1:66:1". Now what I'd like to know is if that is in fact the OAR, or has it been altered. It's the "family friendly" phrasing that confuses me. Mainly because when 'Roger Rabbit' was released (Vista Series), it consisted of a "family friendly" disc containing the full version.

While exhibited in 1.85:1 for theaters, the film was made using the CAPS system, which is 1.66:1. The original laserdiscs were presented using the CAPS aspect ratio.

"Family friendly" widescreen? "Wal-Mart black-bar pissed-off parent"-friendly widescreen, you mean...

Can someone explain to me the CAPS system. Is this similar to Full Frame?

The lyrics were changed years ago and the original lyrics have never appeared on any version of the film on home video, so there's no surprise there. You'll have the option of watching the movie without the additonal song, as you did with Beauty and the Beast and Lion King. It's just a gimmick.

It's Disney's digital coloring system for their animated films. I didn't realize it was designed for a specific aspect ratio, though I suppose that makes sense.

As I asked in post # 16, is the 1.66:1 ratio of Aladdin, similar/comparable to a full frame version of the movie that was exhibited @ "1.85:1 for theaters", where it was matted for the theaters?

If this is the case, I would be satisfied, because I could have the full frame matted to the theatrical OAR of 1.85:1 on my home theater screen.
