The Surround EX format officially made its debut with the May 21, 1999 release of George Lucas’s new feature film, Star Wars: Episode 1-The Phantom Menace. Widescreen Review had reported A Bugs Life (Nov 1998), from Disney/Pixar actually was mixed with Surround EX encoding as an initial test case (both in its theatrical and DVD release.) However, based upon report from www.smr-home-theatre.org/surroundex/surroundex.html it seems THX, Lucasfilm and Dolby have refuted this information.
