@SilverWook - Was Darby cropped to widescreen or was there actually more image?

This is the first I've heard of the dubbed soundtrack.  Was it used on the DVD?

Edit: Wikipedia says the 'easier to understand' dub was used for DVD releases.  I'm thinking the TV version is some fluke.

 From what was said over at the HTF, this soundtrack hasn't seen the light of day for a while.

I only get TCM's standard definition feed, and it is frequently screwed up by whatever automation they use to distinguish between 16:9 and 4:3 video. (Gone With The Wind aired windowboxed recently.) It gets tripped up by movies with less wide ratios for some reason. Darby was unfortunately cropped for me. :(

There is a remastered LD with digital audio out there, in case Disney cocks things up again. ;)
