I’d go with Ghostbusters or Mask of the Phantasm.

I think I’ll go with the latter. Thanks. Although, I’m not sure which version to show them: the (correct) 1.33:1 or the 1.85:1 version that’s included so I don’t have to answer the “why are there black bars on the sides of the screen?” question to people who don’t understand aspect ratios and framing and stuff.

But the 1.85:1 version is the correct version! It was framed for theatrical release and I noticed a few more animation errors watching it the other way.

I noticed more animation errors in the 1.85 last night that I had previously watching the 1.33 version, at least in the CG title sequence (a couple buildings seemed to disappear and reappear at times). I also think a lot of the framing is just better in the 1.33:1, and it helps give it an old-school noir vibe that isn’t as effective in the wider format. Though, it still isn’t bad in 1.85, and having looked into it some more, I can see how one could prefer it.
