In Reply to: Just heard that Disney's TRON is getting the better transfer thing! posted by Dman on August 05, 2001 at 23:51:15:
I like TRON and am glad it's getting a better treatment. It is sort of a simple story and simple (by todays animation standard) animation, but for it's time was a great creation. I do own it already on DVD but will go for the Anamorphic DVd when it arrives. I bought a few non-anamorphic and non-enhanced for 16:9 when I first got the DVD player... But now I will ONLY buy anamorphic or enhanced for 16:9 PERIOD! (unless the original was fullframe 35mm print like "Aguirre, Wrath of God" or a 'made for TV 1:33 ratio film like "Tenth Kingdom") The image on the Anamorphic/enhanced for 16:9 is so much better!!!!! on a TV able to use it.

I hear you there when you say you will only buy it in the anamorphic format! I have a couple (TRON included, as well as a couple 'made for TV movies in 1:33 to 1) and the picture, even on a non anamorphic screen is JUST above OK. Isn't it amazing now, that after the DVD format has practically taken over, with MUCH better picture quality than VHS, that we complain about non anamorphic DVD?!
BTW, I use the 'squeeze technique' for getting anamorphic resolution from my toshiba 32" set. I'm sure this is not good for the picture tube overall, but I plan on a HD set within the next few years anyway!
Cheers,

PS- Check out the link, even if you don't own a Toshiba set. There is a LOT of good info here on set up in general!
