  Not Widescreen
  
  This DVD is not in widescreen format. This is bad and a shame because the film itself is very good.

  Where's the widescreen version???
  
  WARNING: great Film, but despite the screen-shots this is the full-screen version and there's no widescreen option on this DVD.

- Marvellously animated movie that reveals another leap forward in computer animation; but there's a step back in content here, which is too cute and sentimental by half.
