I just compared my Robin Hood: Men in Tights vhs with a 1.85:1 letterboxed broadcast on Fox Movie Channel. It's open matte. Which means that every Robin Hood movie I can think of has a 1.33:1 aspect ratio. Adventures from 1937 is in Academy standard, the 1973 Disney movie is open matte (and the new dvd cropped it), Prince of Thieves from 1987 with Kevin Costner's lack of an English accent is matted according to the back of the warner dvd. Plus Men in Tights. Prince of Thieves and Men in Tights were only released in 4:3 on vhs.
And avoid the South Park Imaginationland dvd! The video is inexplicably cropped to widescreen even though the episodes were shown on tv 4:3. The back of the dvd even falsely says full screen! Even more inexplicably worse, another reviewer on Amazon claims that it is letterboxed. As in not animorphic which means the video is modified from its aspect ratio to NOT fit any tv screen. That's even more ridiculous than the GOUT.
