    Doctor Dolittle (1967) case on home video bit the dust on BD by Twilight Time (2017 while Mike Matessino accommodating the 50th AE La-La Land Records CD) and Koch Media (later in 2018) Star!

    Correct. You know it's funny how, "Sleeping Beauty" (1959) for it's 2008 Master, onwards (done by Lowry Digital [Reliance MediaWorks] is it? or Disney (Restoration and Library Management) chose to present the film in it's negative 2.55:1 ratio [equivalent to the intial CinemaScope ratio. Makes...

    Released as a Blow-up? (five blow-ups according to Mike Coate [https://www.in70mm.com/presents/1959_technirama/1967_custer_west/engagements/index.htm]) or filmed in Super Technirama 70 or Standard Technirama? I think what Stuart Galbraith IV is refering to the usage of the format during the...

    That's what I'm about to find out as soon I get my hands on this 2004 MGM DVD. Or are you saying that the 1999 Anchor Bay DVD is Non-anamorphic 4:3?

    What a dillema of a release it was: Picture: 35mm Reduction IP 35mm Print owned by Director, Joe Dante Sound: 35mm Optical Mono Mixes As for distribution rights? MGM Home Entertainment for it's 2004 DVD release. After surrendering the ABC Pictures library, Disney (the current owners), you...

    A: At the Disney Studios Vault at Burbank? B: In the meantime, I will track down the French BD from Sidonis Calysta (which contain the Roadshow interstitials [Overture, Intermission and Entr'acte] and a 2.0 Stereo Mix) and the Kino BD as an option to view the General Release Version, with 2.0...
