A classic film that needs no introduction (although it can't compete with current fare of course), this review focuses mainly on the packaging of this particular version; namely, that the packaging does not adequately state the fact that this is a FULL screen version of the film (I don't DO full-screen!) Example: when Mr. Potts is in his workshop, Truly reaches to "turn on a switch" and her arm goes completely off-screen to do so! Useless. So, this review is mainly a "buyer-beware" to prevent someone else from making the same mistake in purchase.
Also, the back of the package states that a "Colorful 4-page booklet featuring trivia and production notes" is included, but it isn't!
A waste of money, unless you count the public value of donating it to the local library. Search for this title using the word widescreen or you, too will likely be surprised & disappointed.
What's great about it: Classic movie with the legendary Dick VanDyke (IF you could enjoy it without half the screen chopped off)
What's not so great: Doesn't noticeably state being full-screen, a rude awakening AFTER opening package; Extras listed on back NOT included

The best part of this version of the movie is the special features. There are some lost interviews with Dick VanDyke, which are pretty insightful. He is a charming man.
What's great about it: Great singing and dancing numbers
What's not so great: The Child Catcher is kinda creepy

While the special features on this release are nothing to get excited about, the restoration job alone is worth every penny! Definitely buy this! Everyone in the family will enjoy this!
What's great about it: The picture and sound quality
