***Later releases of Beauty and the Beast, aladdin and Lion King all differ from the Original Theatrical Release due to some small changes in animation that were approved por the director's for IMAX re-releases, and/or additional songs were added. aladdin did not see an IMAX re-release, so the changes simply went straight to the Platinum Edition DVD. The films were slightly cropped from 1.66:1 to 1.55:1 for IMAX showings. Some theatrical viewings of the three films were presented in ratios ranging from 1.66:1-1.85:1, depending on the theater. Also Beauty and the Beast was released at several film festivals as a work-in-progress. This was a 60% finished version of the film. It was released on Laserdisc and DVD as a branching feature, and in PiP on the Blu-ray. Beauty and the Beast will receive it's 3rd theatrical release in January 2012, just in time for Valentines Day. Lion King also recently received a 3D theatrical re-release this fall leading up to the 3D Blu-ray release. Both titles were re-released in 3D theatrically and on Blu-ray at a 1.78:1 ratio, which were approved por the original directors and Producer Don Hahn.
