Beauty and the Beast in 3D

That actually sounds rad. I hated the "special edition" release, and dislike the Platinum DVD - not because I particularly noticed the flaws pointed out in that great quote, but because the aspect ratio did not match what was originally shown at the El Cap (and which was used for the laser disc release.)

I later found out that the aspect ratio varied from theater to theater for B&tB's original theatrical release. But, that being the case, I consider the ratio used at Disney's own El Cap to be the "authentic" aspect ratio - and thus watched that DVD only once. It bugs me. Part of the picture I saw in theaters is missing.

So, I'm curious to see which ratio they choose for this 3-D release, but I'm fairly certain it will be the more widely accepted 1.85:1 - which, though shown that way some places, is -imo- wrong.

Oh, and I just got a flyer in the mail for a Sing-Along Beauty and the Beast at the El Cap - and this is just as good a place as any to ask if anyone might be interested. These sing-alongs are a complete hoot.
