freaky friday (full or widescreen?)

hi all,

can anyone confirm if the DVD contains the widescreen version of the film?
the packaging clearly states fullscreen, but does not indicate a widescreen
version, meanwhile the specs for the disk at futureshop and DVD planet say
it has both versions.

My version has both widescreen and fullscreen on it.

The Canadian edition only has the fullscreen version. It seems the American
version has both formats.

If you are in the US, the US version has both anamorphic widescreen and
full screen versions. Not sure how it is in Canada or other countries.

It's widescreen & fullscreen in the US, but fullscreen only in Canada. To
fit on the French language track, they removed the widescreen transfer.

Wow - does a language track actually equal a full copy of the movie.

No, but with two 97 minute movies plus extras crammed on a single dual layer
disc I suspect any more content would degrade the quality from "acceptable" to
"poor". IMHO the $20 street price is a ripoff for this kind of quality, but oh
well...

The right way to do this of course would be to have seperate fullscreen and
widescreen editions, or else have a two disc set. However Disney caters to
parents that just want to have something to entertain their kids, not film
fans.

Well, Disney offered two seperate releases for "Holes." Also
many of their animated features are available on DVD in WS
only. So such a broad statement about Disney's attitude towards
film fans seems to be innaccurate.
