[Don't kill me over this, I like kids movies.]It will be released in Canada tomorrow, so haven't seen them yet. This is a case where the FS is apparently not really a subset of the WS, but rather is a different presentation. From other comments, as best I can tell, the director intended a 4:3 presentation in theaters, and this was how the film was made/cut etc., and there is nothing notable in the extra WS width. Rather, worthwhile high and low details are missing on the WS presentation. What do you think of this? I suppose I could get both versions for "educational" purposes, as I haven't heard of this situation for another DVD. I'm one of those people who always chooses the WS version, as I assume I'm getting "more" of the film, but maybe not this time.
