Yes. However, the laserdisc has the "The Thief and the Cobbler" title and vastly better color/contrast. However, both are very dirty prints (The Miramax cut likely did the cuttiing on an interpositive and made a duplicate negative from that, which would explain the softness). Both are 2.35:1, but only the DVD is 16x9 enhanced (obviously).
