As to "cropped" - the eBay picture is obviously not the entire frame.

Look at the bottom of that screengrab - you can see the frame line, and a sliver of the next frame under it. It seems that the full frame was exposed, including outside the area that was intended to be shown.

My point was that for a lot of pre-digital animation, showing the full exposed frame is not a good idea.

With TGMD, it's clear that the 2002 transfer cuts off picture on all four sides. But even in a theater, picture might be cropped on the sides depending on the aperture plate, or even the dimensions/curvature of the theater screen itself - the SMPTE projector safe area accounts for this.

A lot of people tend to treat OAR as if it's some kind of immutable law of nature, when it isn't anything of the sort.
