Wait.  You bring up something I meant to ask before, Tiptup.  I remember the new ads talking about the aspect ratio, and that confused me, because I thought that the 2003 DVD preserved that.  I mean, the special features on that DVD made a big deal about the "new-fangled" process they used to make the ratio for that movie, so I assumed it was accurately done for the DVD.  Is that incorrect?

Oh, and what's the problem with the new Nightmare set?  I got it for my girlfriend for her birthday.  I'd never seen the movie before then, so I had nothing to compare it to.  Is it the standard Disney problem of cutting down the ratio so that it perfectly fits a widescreen TV in 16:9?  Or is it another DNR problem?

EDIT:  Ah, wait, I see on your link.  The OAR of Sleeping Beauty was 2.55:1, but the 2003 release was 2.35:1.
