Thanks for your review, Todd. I can't wait to pick this up tomorrow. Does the audio commentary address the decision to alter the aspect ratio for this movie versus the 1.77:1 they used for the previous three? I was really curious about that from when I first realized it was going to be wider.

To be honest, I did not have time to listen to the entire commentary, but did skim through it, and as far as I could tell, the answer is no. But 2.39:1 seems to be the prevalent aspect ratio of animated films these days.

Right, but this is the first time Pixar made a sequel where they deviated from the ratio used for the previous films. I just would have been interested to hear a discussion of why the decision was made. Oh well.

Todd, thanks for the review. Didn't you get a UHD version to review?
Unfortunately, no. Typically at this time of year, replication facilities are maxed out beyond capacity, making review copies more scarce and often limiting the number of copies retail stores receive. Remember the continuous delays with 2001 last year?

This is a road picture, so they wanted to go for a more "epic" look.
