Page 1 of Monsters Inc - Region 2/4 not 4:3

On dvdcompare it stated all regions had 1.85 and 4:3 screen versions, i.e. two versions, I want the 2 disc version but need 4:3 as one of our tvs is small that my kids uses, so both aspects would be good.

Anyone clarify, is it that Region 1 is both screen ratios, but 2 and 4 are just 1:1.85???

Thanks

Iv`e got the region 1 and can tell you it is only 1:85 not 4:3 as stated on websites. I thought both versions would be included as play had stated in the extras, Sadly not.

YM

play are selling region 2 "Monsters Inc Collectors Edition (2 discs)" and Region1 "Monsters Inc (2 discs)"

Do they have the same content? If not, what`s the differences ?

Apparently R1 has both widescreen and 4:3 formats on the discs, according to both Play.com and Movietyme. R2 has a DTS soundtrack and the widescreen version, as well as the same extras. No 4:3 version though. There is a R2 Family edition which has the movie in 4:3 format but only a couple of extras and is only £3 cheaper so I would avoid this one.

Also Mikes New Car is available at http:\\www.apple.com under the trailers section for previewing.

I`ve just bought reg 2, two disc collectors edition and inside I got a folds out leaflet guide to special fetures, and on this it clearly states
Disc 1 features and technical spec

"Choice of viewing presentation"

-Widesreen version of the film(1.85.1) enhanced for 16x9tv origanal theatrical ratio.
I can`t find 4.3 version anywhere ????

4 divided by 3 = 1.33 so that`s your 4:3 version

Yes dave but I can`t find the 4.3 (1.33.1) version on the disc ??

I watched the Collectors Edition last week on a 4:3 TV and a Sony 725 dvd player. When the film started it defaulted to 4:3. in order to change the view to widescreen I changed the screen settings on the dvd player from 4:3 to 4:3 letterbox. Maybe you can do something similar in reverse. This may not be the most user friendly way but it does enable you to watch in either format.

thanks elmore but my daughter would like the black bars to dissapear ,and in letter box there`s not much picture left on the screen being a portable tv thanks for the idea though :o)

Sorry Ratt, I misunderstood you.
