Do they have a full screen version? Confused

I just make my DVD player put it in full screen mode, but then the picture gets stretched

I thought I'd just screwed up and bought the wrong version. Embarassed

There really isn't a fullscreen version? Shocked

I've looked and there is not. All I see is mention of widescreen.

Do they even make full screen versions with the platinum editions?

I really don't mind. Much. The point is, is it's Aladdin. Very Happy

uh? Why didn't they release both full and wide screen together? Is it too late to get a refund? I mean a exchange?

*Blinks* Why d'you want fullscreen, anyway? They cut off the sides of the picture to make a movie fullscreen. Tres annoying. o_0

Because the picture doesn't cover the whole T.V. screen when it's wide. I prefer it full like the theaters. and uh...Wide....Seeing black picture black. Makes me want to reach in and stretch it. The picture seems smaller.. wide.

Widescreen is the format used in the theaters. Theater screens are a bit wider than your TV screen. When a movie is released in "fullscreen," they've cut off the left and right-most sides of the picture so that it will completely fill a TV screen.

Unfortunately, you'll often lose peripheral details that just shouldn't be lost.

It's possible that since the second two were made for DTV release, they were never made in widescreen to begin with.
