And they would be?
Journey of Natty Gann, for one. The Scarlet Letter (1995) is another.

Are you sure about Journey of Natty Gann being P&S? When I called Disney to complain about their P&S ONLY titles, I specifically asked about this title & the person (can't remember her name) told me that it would be in widescreen.
As sure as I can be without having seen the disc firsthand. Almost positive.

Those people answering the phones are not very good at giving out correct information. Just check the other phone threads for some blatant mis-information spout out.
I dont't think we need to worry about a pan and scan release.
What should be of concern is whether or not they keep the original mono.
Mono is the INCORRECT sound format for this movie. 4.0 surround would be the best representation of the sound in its original release as you can see here:
The good news:
It's a restored print and new transfer. It looks INCREDIBLE! Superior to the laser disc. And there will be tons of extra material, including a long documentary culled from hours of color! behind the scenes footage.
The bad news is Disney marketing has little faith in older titles and so have decided to postpone the release until next year (even though the discs are finished). It's time to write letters -- and also buy the terrific Vault Disney titles just released this week (Pollyanna, Parent Trap, Swiss Family Robinson, Old Yeller) to prove that the sales are there for the older films.
