With Ron’s review of The Country Bears, a film that will only be released in pan & scan, I started to wonder just how many recent DVD’s Disney has released that are not in their proper OAR. I counted seven Disney titles that I would have purchased, many of which I have been wanting since the debut of DVD. Those titles include Blackbeard’s Ghost, Ernest Goes to Jail, Ernest Scared Stupid, Honey I Shrunk the Kids, Honey I Blew Up the Kid, The Muppet Christmas Carol and Muppet Treasure Island. Other’s that have not had a widescreen release include The Country Bears, The Moon Spinners, and The Apple Dumpling Gang Rides Again.

Since Disney refuses to listen to their customers demands and release all movies in their proper OAR, I am going to patronize Warner Bros., a studio which is supporting OAR by releasing many of its family films in their OAR. I will be purchasing Free Willy, Free Willy 2, Free Willy 3, Dennis the Menace, and Dennis the Menace: Strikes Again, all to be released in Anamorphic Widescreen by Warner next spring.

Be sure to call & e-mail Disney and let them know that you refuse to purchase any family film that is not presented in its OAR, and that you will purchase films from studios who release family films in OAR, such as Warner Bros.
