Lady and the Tramp VHS & DVDs Comparison

I have made another comparison for Lady and the Tramp. This time though, I have the 1999 DVD and including it with the comparison, alongside is the 2000 UK DVD. What's weird for the 2000 UK DVD is that it's in pan-and-scan, even though a Full-Frame of this film exist which they could've used, but didn't. It's not just the UK, other European countries also had this. I found files from the Web Archive of the VHS that work on my Windows 7 and was able to make this. There are more comparisons for other Disney films so prepare yourselves. Enjoy.

I love how Lady doesn't have to say anything in the entire scene, and for Tramp to see her predicament. Also, wearing a muzzle IS really agonizing for a dog. 🥺

The parrot bit made me laugh at 0:18

[@mistingwolf]

Hmm... the wide screens are nice, but the older 4:3 ones help keep your focus on the characters better in my opinion. The '98 is the best compromise.

[@hobbitfan8686]

0:23 I laughed when Aunt Sarah falls down. Serves her right for muzzling Lady!

[@cesarmorales9138]

That what she get for not listening to lady

The Rescuers is another one that's good to compare with the 1992 and 1999 VHS, and the DVD and Blu Ray copies. Like I said before, the 1992 VHS has the movie in pan and scan fullscreen, unlike the 1999 VHS which presents the film's original open mated 4:3 ratio. Of course the DVD and Blu Ray releases are in 16:9.

[@AndrewsMagicandMore]

The film's 1999 Maserpiece Collection LaserDisc was in letterbox format containing the (matted) widescreen aspect ratio of 1.66:1

[@FanimationXV]

@@AndrewsMagicandMore I see, I never knew that.

And Old Yeller 1957

[@mwr8408]

1:31 1:35 Touchstone Pictures theme.

[@FanimationXV]

Although the open matted ratio version on the 1998 VHS is better than the pan and scan version, I still think the original Cinemascope version is a better option. You see more on the sides.

[@JoshuatheEntertainmentGuy1405]

Plus it was shot that way since it was one of the first Disney animated feature film movie to be shot in CinemaScope.

[@SwatDBOverlord]

* Academy Ratio Not Open Matte

[@chrisdawson6156]

Yeah that cracked me up as well

[@StephenLuke]

[@kylemenow1666]

I find it peculiar that in the 1998 vhs version of this movie, the three junkyard dogs are closer to each other than in the other versions.

[@cbsteffen]

The 1998 VHS release is very different from the other releases. There are more music, less audible dialogue, and vocalization (like in the original theatrical trailer) instead of singing of the “Peace On Earth” reprise in that release.

[@ZakWolf]

@@cbsteffen, they also accidentally cut off Aunt Sarah's tone-deaf "Rock-a-Bye Baby". If you play the 1987 VHS on a VCR in a certain monural audio setting, it also cuts off Aunt Sarah's singing.

[@smophie6260]

I believe the 98 print is using the academy print instead of the normal pan and scan one

[@ZakWolf]

The 1987 VHS has better colors than the 1998 VHS, but then you have that pan-and-scan job, compared to the 1998 VHS using the Academy Ratio print prepared for non-widescreen theaters back then.

[@brandanbullard7620]

Is sunlight the use of sound of old yoller

[@declancolwell5443]

Does Aunt Sarah have to pay for the parrot that escaped from the pet shop?

[@chrisdawson6156]

She should

[@stephenmichels2915]

I thought 1998 might interesting.

[@katethemikufan9109]

Yeah, especially when some characters and layout are repositioned. The one such example is at 1:28 .

[@user-zq9po4we8d]

0:34

[@mwr8408]

1:38

[@brandanbullard7620]

It's sound like old yeller

[@cbsteffen]

That’s because the sound effect was recycled for Old Yeller.

[@thebeautifulrose294]

Widescreen version are better than Full screen, because screen version look smaller than you remember.

[@joshuajones741]

[@Josh366lol2]

Can't forget it if I didn't own the Blu-ray at the time. And how can I fit it?

[@yulejbaylock103]
