I find that tough to believe, but for now, that's the info they're getting, so we're going to see more of this, and when the films don't merit the two-disc treatment, we're probably going to get just the 1.33...

Originally Posted By JeffG The shorts are in the correct aspect ratio. I was actually quite pleased, and a bit surprised, by that. -Jeff
Originally Posted By JeffG Kirby, take a look at them again. They were most definitely letterboxed. -Jeff

Oh right, I´ll have to stay with my old VHS. --------------------- <a href="http://www.animagic.hpg.ig.com.br" target="_blank">http://www.animagic.hpg.ig.com .br</a>
