was only released in Fullscreen on DVD. Is it Pan & Scan or is it in the proper aspect ratio?
To the best of our knowledge, every Disney animated classic is presented in its original aspect ratio on DVD, with the exception of The Fox and the Hound. It seems that all animated features from The Rescuers on have been created in a widescreen ratio, which makes the fullscreen Fox & Hound DVD the odd cropped “pan & scan” release. Beginning with the Most Wanted Edition of Robin Hood, released November of 2006, certain animated Disney films from this period have been released to DVD in matted widescreen editions, including The Jungle Book and The Aristocats. Whether this is more faithful to the makers’ intentions than the fullscreen versions with more visuals remains in question. Click here to read more on the issue.
