So what is the aspect ratio of Mary Poppins? Are there any screenshot comparisons. I don't remember seeing anything about it on ultimate disney. Would the widescreen BatB laserdisc really go for less than 10?
The AR of Mary Poppins is reported to be 1.66:1.
I *bought* the WS LD for BatB for less than $10 including shipping but I haven't gotten it yet.
Also in my plans, though I'm not really going to bring that up here.
One last thing, the original english dubs for Studio Ghibli on My Neighbor Totoro, Laputa: Castle in the Sky and I think Kiki's Delivery Service?

So you're looking for a Song of the South dvd that is still in Pal? Because I thought someone here already got an untouched source (2 actually) and ran into trouble trying to convert it to NTSC.
If it's converted by speedup, then it's easy enough. If telecine...it's harder. Though I might be able to go through my contacts on IRC and find *someone* who can pull up a 24:25.
What about preserving the original dvd of the Jungle Book since the new one is cropped to widescreen? This also applies to Robin Hood and Aristocats but the earlier versions of those are much easier to find.

I have OGMs of the first two; they're on DVD in Japan. There's also one for Porco Rosso, I believe, and I don't have that. Kiki's R2 has the Disney dub (don't ask).
