Word!
It should be 4:3, but if the rez is good that's ok
I was just the sound producer/video editor for an Elementary School's production of this musical, so it's always fun to watch

Oh, maybe the OAR is 2.35 as IMDB says it is.
I have the DVD and they only ever released a 4:3 version, yet it has DTS, bastards!
Here's the IMDB DVD specs
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083564/dvd
It seems to claim there is a 2.35 DVD available released in 2000
But the anniversary disc they released in 2004 that has DTS was only released in 4:3

Proud Staff MemberYes, that Anniversay disc also states "Remastered in High Definition" for what it is worth.

Very confusing indeed.
If the OAR is indeed 2.35, then why is the new version only 4X3 but yet it says mastered in HD

Proud Staff MemberWell you can check a few scenes between the DVD 4:3 and the presentation on Voom to see if it is open matte.

I didn't check the DVD, but the voom presentation was 16x9 and looked mostly to be cropped, and having the HD downrezzed didn't help any, looked very soft

Proud Staff MemberBFG,
I had to take on the challenge and see for myself whether the presentation on Voom was really cropped. So I took two scenes one from the Original DVD OAR 1:33:1 and the one I recorded on my 942 from Voom and compared both versions side by side. I was quite surprised what I found. It looks like the version on VOOM was not cropped but Open Matted. Usually when a 1:33:1 movie is cropped around 20% of the picture is lost at top and bottom. It looks like the Voom Version gained more of the picture rather than losing which means Open Matte.
Scene 1.
Scene 2.
According to MDB there is a 2:35:1 version but I do not know if that it's true but if there is one it will be very nice to compare as well.
