    I passed on this edition when wanting to move up to Bluray as opposed to the DVD here. When mastering in widescreen there's said to be numerous instances whereby they cropped the frames to go 16:9, chopping off things in the process. It was remastered to 4:3 later down the line. One instance whereby I chose not buy widescreen. (edited)
