Wide Screen Film Processes A SPECIAL NOTE TO COLLECTORS OF WALT DISNEY RELEASES Please carefully note the edition number of the title you have purchased before opening the package to insure that it is the version you want. With the exception of Robin Hood and the new Archive Collection versions (which appears to have had a catalog number changes) all newer versions have an edition number which is greater than one. You can find the edition number on the back underneath the copyright notices. I have tried to indicate the most current edition numbers in this list, however, there may be errors. To differentiate between the different manufacturers, the jacket does have the country of manufacture noted on the jacket also near the copyright notices. Unfortunately, it is impossible to tell between two manufacturers in Japan or two in the US without inspecting the disk. ============================================================================== --- Disney Animated Feature Films on NTSC Laser Disc --- The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad (1949) CLV only Edition: 1539-1 Catalog Number: 1539AS UPC: 1 7951 53906 List Price: $29.99 Manufacturer(s): Kuraray Theatrical Release: October 5, 1949 Theatrical Aspect Ratio: Academy Aperture 67 Minutes, Closed Captioned, Mono, Digital Sound CX, Color, 2 sides, TOC, Academy Aperture Alice in Wonderland (1951) CLV only Edition: 036-3 (remastered) Catalog Number: 036AS UPC: 1 2257 03606 List Price: $36.99 Theatrical Release: July 28, 1951 Theatrical Aspect Ratio: Academy Aperture 75 Minutes, Closed Captioned, Mono, Digital Sound CX, Color, 2 Sides, Academy Aperture Bambi (Walt Disney's Classic) (1942) OUT OF PRINT Edition: 942-1 Catalog number 942CS (CAV) 942AS (CLV) UPC: 1 2257 94216 (CAV) List Prices: $39.99 (CAV) $29.99 (CLV) Manufacturer(s): PVI Theatrical Aspect Ratio: Academy Aperture Theatrical Release: August 13, 1942 69 Minutes, Closed Captioned, Stereo (Surround), CX, Digital Sound, Color, 3 sides (CAV) 2 sides (CLV) Chapter Stops, Academy Aperture Beauty and the Beast (A Walt Disney Classic) (1991) (USA) IN MORATORIUM July 23, 1993 Edition: 1325-1 Issued: September 29, 1993 Catalog Number: 1325CS (CAV) 1325AS (CLV) UPC: 1 7951 32517 (CAV) 1 7951 32506 (CLV) List Prices: $49.99 (CAV) $29.99 (CLV) Manufacturer(s): Pioneer or Mitsubishi (CAV) Mitsubishi (CLV) Theatrical Aspect Ratio: 1.85:1 (Soft Matte) Theatrical Release: November 22, 1991 CLV Edition 84 Minutes, Closed Captioned, Stereo, Dolby Surround CX, Digital Sound, Color, 2 Sides, TOC, P&S CAV Edition 84 Minutes + 26 Minutes (Supplementary Material) Closed Captioned, Stereo, Dolby Surround CX, Digital Sound, Color, 4 Sides, Letterboxed 1.66:1 TOC (Sides 1-3) Chapter Stops (Side 4) NOTES: The sleeve folds open and a survey card (HV8404) was included.

Edition = indicates the edition for which information has been provided. Every attempt has been made to provide the most recent edition, however, there may be errors. This is primarily for Disney titles where the edition is indicated on the packaging. CAV = Constant Angular Velocity (Standard Play) This disk format allows all players to freeze-frame any portion of the side pressed in this format. CLV = Constant Linear Velocity (Extended Play) This disk format cannot show freeze-frames unless you have a player with digital field memory. CX = Analog Noise Reduction System developed by CBS (surround) = Surround Matrix Encoded (non-Dolby) TOC = Table of Contents. This makes the LD look like a CD, providing timing data (and frame/time data if the disk is CAV) for each chapter as well as the whole disk. Chapter stops = Marks placed at appropriate locations on the disk which allow you to quickly go to a certain film or part of a film. NO CHAPTER STOPS means that you must either use the time/frame search option or visually search for the natural breaks on the disk. Disks with TOC will always have chapter stops. List price is the one suggested by the distributor at the time of release in US Dollars. The actual market price may be different. Information in curly {} brackets has not been verified. For feature films (ONLY): (For a detailed discussion on widescreen processes, please read section 3 of this document). Letterboxed (aspect ratio) = the film has been transferred to video format maintaining the aspect ratio (size) of the original negative or theatrical print. Academy Aperture = The original negative or theatrical print has an aspect ratio very close to that of the television. No letterboxing or panning and scanning are needed for this type of film. P&S = The video camera is zoomed in on the original picture and moved within the frame. This fills the video screen, however, the part of the picture at the sides is lost. Matted = The camera used to make the film captures the TV aspect ratio, however, the director and cameraman use a viewfinder that is masked to a widescreen format. The final print is masked to give the effect of being shot with a scope camera. The videos made from this type of film are generally transferred from the original negative in academy aperture, however, if the video from this type of film is in letterbox format, then it will be identified as a matted film. If not noted the original aspect ratio is unknown. CROPPING EVIDENT - Means that the effects of a P&S process are visible, most likely some part of the title or ending credits have been lopped off at the sides. OUT OF PRINT - Means you will probably not be able to find this title for sale at the retail price. IN MORATORIUM - Means that the distributing company has stopped producing this title and will not press anymore copies once current stocks are depleted. (It's out of print, but you can still find copies of them at the retail price). dual-language - For Japanese imports, the original English soundtrack is provided on the Digital Soundtrack and the dubbed Japanese soundtrack is on the Analog Soundtrack. You must have a player with Digital Sound playback to listen to the English soundtrack. -- Acknowledgements -- Thanks to net contributors of information contained in this list.

The disks themselves are the same ones you would purchase at the regular price, however, to differentiate between the two, a hole is often drilled through the jacket, or a slot is cut out of a corner. This prevents the purchaser from returning the item to a store for a full-price refund and prevents the retailer from returning the product to the distributor for credit.

See the "Short Collections" section of this document. 5. To be released on videocassette March 4, 1994. The LD release may or may not follow. 6. The Black Caldron was filmed in SuperTechnirama 70 (2.05:1). Credits specify "Super Panavision Widescreen" but Technirama format with Panavision lenses were used. 7. Released on VHS last year. No LD release planned. 8. Video release (VHS) pending for Fall 1994. Other films reported to have been released on NTSC LD in Japan The Reluctant Dragon (1941) The Living Desert The Secrets of Life ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This section contains technical information on many of the common photographic processes used to make wide-screen, wide-frame and wide- gauge films. Disney has been credited with using one 70mm format, three anamorphic processes, two matte sizes, and academy aperture for its films, however, because there is currently considerable confusion over the various processes and a lack of available information, I am including most of the relavent points for other film processes which will be encountered outside of the Disney domain. It is not necessary for you to have this section to understand the main entries of the LD supplement. The material in this document does not mention the Laserdisc medium directly. This is because the definition of aspect ratio, with respect to this supplement, is in terms of the original source material; in this case photographic film. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Glossary of Standard Terms used in this document: Academy Aperture - The standard ratio of 1.33:1 which represents the image area of a normally photographed image on a 35mm print using spherical lenses. Anamorphic - As used in this document, the anamorphic process is a distortion free compression process which squeezes the horizontal image by some specified factor while leaving the vertical image information alone. A special set of lenses must be used to reverse the process. Aspect Ratio: The normalized ratio of physical image width to physical image height after decompression (if required). Blowup - See the Panavision 70 entry under 70mm formats. Cropping - Selective deleting of part of the image on the edges. Hard Matte - The image is filmed with the aspect ratio mask used in the camera itself. There is no safe area in this process. Techniscope uses a hard matte. Matting - As used in this document, this is the process designed by filmmakers to simulate the anamorphic process by taking a spherically filmed image and cropping the top and bottom, usually in equal amounts, to obtain a desired aspect ratio. MagOptical soundtrack - A compromise soundtrack incorporating both magnetic stripes on both sides of the 35mm film sprockets, and the standard optical track which intrudes into the image area. This allowed the prints to be played using monophonic equipment (optically based) and stereophonic equipment (magnetic/optical). The adoption of this soundtrack system fixed the CinemaScope ratio at 2.35:1. Because the magnetic striping was prone to damage, this system was eventually replaced by stereo variable area soundtracks. 70mm formats still use magnetic striping on film. Print - Used to describe the collection of film footage which makes up a complete film. Pulldown - The number of perforations which are pulled through the camera or projector after each frame. A horizontal pulldown is used to call attention to the horizontal orientation of the film and camera or projector mechanism. Safe Area - The area on a spherically filmed image which is intended to be cropped in a matting process. Soft Matte - A print which is created by matting an image filmed in a larger image size is soft matted. The safe area is available for use in this process. SuperScope uses a soft matte process. Spherical - As used in this document, spherically processed films are those made with lenses which do not compress the image. This does not mean that the lenses do not cause distortion. Stereo Variable Area - A dual optical soundtrack system consisting of a left and right channel which remains compatable with the old RCA Photophone track (The center or mono channel is the combination of the two). Surround information is on the left and right tracks but out of phase. The surround information and noise reduction is processed using Dolby or similar vendor equipment. Three-Panel - A filming method using three synchronized cameras and projectors to create one very large image. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bibliography Bordwell, David, Janet Staiger and Kirstin Thompson.

Although a few films were released using some early form of widescreen process, Disney is not cited as being a pioneer in the field. The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad (1949) Alice in Wonderland (1951) Bambi (1942) Cinderella (1950) Dumbo (1941) Fantasia (1940) Fun and Fancy Free (1949) Make Mine Music (1946) Melody Time (1948) Peter Pan (1953) * Pinocchio (1940) Saludos Amigos (1943) Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) So Dear to my Heart (1949) Song of the South (1946) The Three Caballeros (1945) NOTE: Peter Pan is included on this list because it is believed that production on this film would have started prior to the interest in moving off academy aperture. Matted to an aspect ratio of 1.75:1 The following films are being assigned the aspect ratio of 1.75:1 which has been cited as being Disney's adopted matting ratio for movies shot using spherical lenses between c1955 and at least 1984. This ratio was adopted by Disney while the rest of the movie industry set 1.85:1 as its standard. The Absent Minded Professor (1960) The Aristocats (1970) Darby O'Gill and the Little People (1959) Escape to Witch Mountain (1975) The Fox and the Hound (1981) The Great Mouse Detective (1986) Herbie Rides Again (1970) In Search of the Castaways (1962) The Jungle Book (1967) Kidnapped (1960) Lady and the Tramp (1955) # The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (1977) Mary Poppins (1964) 101 Dalmations (1961) The Parent Trap (1961) Pollyanna (1961) The Rescuers (1977) Robin Hood (1973) The Shaggy Dog (1959) The Sword in the Stone (1963) That Darn Cat (1965) NOTE: Lady and the Tramp was filmed simultaneously in anamorphic CinemaScope and Spherical formats. Possibly matted to an aspect ratio of 1.85:1 These were assigned a 1.85:1 aspect ratio before which appears to be based on industry practice or theatrical measurement. The actual theatrical release prints are believed to still maintain the 1.75:1 aspect ratio. Aladdin (1992) Beauty and the Beast (1991) The Little Mermaid (1989) The Rescuers Down Under (1990) Matted to an aspect ratio of 1.85:1 The Adventures of Huck Finn (1993) Who Framed Roger Rabbit (Touchstone, 1988) Spherical Panavision +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ========================================================================= 35mm/55mm anamorphic formats ========================================================================= ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Panavision, CinemaScope, Delrama, Vistarama, Technovision, Todd-AO 35, AgaScope (Sweeden), Astravision, Cinepanoramic (France), Cinescope (Italy), Daieiscope (Japan), Dyaliscope (Europe), GrandScope (Japan), Hi-Fi Scope, J-D-C Scope (Joe Dunton Cameras, Ltd.), MegaScope (Britain), Nikkatsuscope (Japan), Regalscope (USA), Toeiscope (Japan), Tohoscope (Japan), Totalscope (Italy). 2x1 Anamorphic compression ratio. 35mm Anamorphic aspect ratios Initial aspect ratio: 2.66x1 Aspect Ratio with the addition of MagOptical tracks: 2.55x1 Final design aspect ratio: 2.35x1 Specifications Camera and Negative Film: 35mm Frames per second: 24 Pulldown: 4 perfs per frame Aperture: 0.866"x0.735" Aperture Aspect Ratio: 1.175:1 Ground Glass Markings (2.35x1): 0.839"x0.715" Lenses: Anamorphic Release Print Film: 35mm Frames per second: 24 Pulldown: 4 perfs per frame Aspect Ratio: 2.35x1 Projected Image: 0.839"x0.715" 16mm Anamorphic aspect ratio: 2.74x1 8mm Anamorphic aspect ratio: 2.66x1 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ List of Disney films made in 35mm using 2x1 anamorphic compression (The process name is identified when known) 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954) CinemaScope 2.35:1 An optically extracted spherical version was issued simultaneously.

In fact, MGM later capitalized on the use of other 70mm formats to simulate the three panel process. The significant difference is the use of a curved screen as opposed to a standard flat screen. It is unfortunate that this curved screen effect cannot be reproduced using currently available video technology.

A few films were issued using the Super Cinerama three panel process, notably "The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm" (1962) and "How the West was Won" (1963). The second update to the Super Cinerama system is called 70mm Super Cinerama which used the curved screen of Cinerama, but projected an Ultra Panavision 70 ("It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" (1963), "Battle of the Bulge" (1965), The Greatest Story Ever Told (1965), etc.), Super Panavision 70/Todd AO ("2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968)), Super Technirama 70, Superpanorama 70, Kinopanorama, or Panavision 70 film from a single projector with special optics to fit the picture onto the screen. The third update made the curve screen 120 degrees with a non-louvered surface. All these films were shot using spherical lenses in 70mm format. The same Cinerama enlarging lenses were used on the projectors. The move to 70 mm single projectors spelled the end of the format.
