Fox's reissue of ANASTASIA - anamorphic? (1 Viewer)

Review won't be up for a few days, but to tide you over: it looks downright terrific. (And yes, it is anamorphic.)

Great. Thanks for clarifying for me. Sounds like a new HD transfer given that the older R2 version "looked the same" as the 4x3 lbxed R1...

Can't wait for the new transfer!!

Guys

It is anamorphic and it looks fantastic. You'll be pleasantly surprised.

Just a heads up - Amazon.com is currently selling this new version at 50% off MSRP, $9.97.

Good news. I love this film and think's it's underrated. Wonderful music too.

I'm in an "hold out for HD" mode but for less than $10 I think I might cave for this new 16x9 Stadard-def copy...

Amazon selling it for $10 bucks-I wonder if they think it is just a budget reissue-they were still using the VHS box cover art the last i looked...

There has been a new release which I checked the back of the box and it lists anamorphic widescreen. Heres a link to it:

How does the movie look better ?

Well if you want a long explanation visit this site:

But if you want a shorter answer:
An animorphically enhanced DVD will fit the movie image to your TV using the correct aspect ratio. It will do this weather it is an old 4X3 TV or a newer 16X9 HD screen.
