I was looking at this DVD the other night, and noted it was in full screen. I know it premiered on TV, but it was originally intended to go to theaters... Anyone know the OAR?
I don't know that it originally premiered on T.V. My wife and I saw it in a theater in Boise, Idaho in the summer of 1990. I believe it was the first theatrical movie we saw after we were married. I don't remember it being any kind of special showing. We didn't get asked our opinion of it or anything like that.
I'm assuming that it was in widescreen since we saw it in a theater, but that was before I was so aware of such things.
It was definitely in theaters, although probably just in limited release. I don't remember the aspect ratio as i was probably only 16 at the time and not really aware of such things, but i assume it was a widescreen movie and has just been chopped by disney.
I never realized this was a theatrical release. My first experience with this movie was on the Disney Channel about 10 years ago. If I get this it will be for my grandson.
