According to DVDFile, this formerly pan-n-scan-monstrosity is going to be re-released Nov. 25 in anamorphic widescreen.

Thank goodness you finally came to your senses, MGM! It sure took you long enough!

It's as good as bought!

Great!

One less 70mm epic in P&S-only form on DVD. :wink:

[Scott Hamilton]

It is going to be a SE??? hopefully a 2 disc SE

[Alistair_M]

Its a 2 disk SE but it looks pretty barren extra wise.

from dvdfile.com

this new 35th Anniversary Edition includes a remastered anamorphic widescreen version, a new documentary hosted by star Dick Van Dyke, archival cast interviews and a number of family-friendly extras, among them sing-along and read-along features, interactive games, coloring pages, music demos and a 32-page collectible booklet. Retail is $29.95, and the bare bones version will remain on the market for $14.95.

Would have loved an audio commentary and a text commentary.

Still... its a definite buy anyway for the anamorphic picture and the documentary.

great news indeed and another classic to get

[Scott Hamilton]

Good enough for me the new documentary hosted by star Dick Van Dyke sold it for me

Hopefully will have special on the Child Catcher in it...

I smell Children

Good to finally have the rumor made official.

I suppose most of The File's info came from this Video Business article (free registration required to view).

What a co-ince, I sat down yesterday with my wife and 6 yr. old daughter and watched this one.
It sure was nice seeing Chitty in widescreen during the beginning credits on my 92" screen and then it hurt when chitty had to stretch herself out to old P&S image!! Ouch!!!

I will gladly upgrade to the WS version this fall.
