Lady and the Tramp
A review of the upcoming R1 US version of Lady and the Tramp, due out on February 28th, has been posted at DVD File. Most crucially, it confirms that the American version, called the "50th Anniversary Edition" (despite the fact that the film's 50th anniversary was actually back in June last year), includes both a full frame transfer of the film and a mono audio track. Of course, it remains to be seen whether whether the full frame version is actually the Academy version or just a pan & scan job, but I remain hopeful. The bottom line is that waiting for the US version seems to clearly be the best line of action.Update, 19:18 on Friday, February 17, 2006: Judging by this thread at UltimateDisney.com, the 4x3 version on the disc is simply a pan and scan (and noticeably distorted, too) crop of the Cinemascope version. Those mongooses at Disney strike again!
