Ah! That is a point. I understand now.

And what with all this nonsense of putting both a film and its sequel on a Blu-ray (Pocahontas, Atlantis, etc.), one could hope that they'd put both 16:9 and 4:3 versions on the same disc.

They won't, of course.

But one can dream.

[Hoping that when The Little Mermaid comes out this fall, they'll be kind enough to put both the sequel and the prequel on their own Blu-ray instead of selling them separately.]
