The same argument broke out over "The Jungle Book".

I saw these movies when they were brand new, and they were shown matted, "widescreen". I have no idea why Disney supposedly designed them to be 1.33:1, but then had theaters show them at 1.75:1 or what ever widescreen ratio was used. But apparently that's just what they did!

I think they should be put on DVD as 1.33:1, then if someone wants to watch them at 1.75:1, all they have to do is get an HDTV and hit the zoom button!
