Forgot to mention, that movie was made back in 1956, so the problem has been around for a while. 

And that was released as 1.33:1 on DVD without the expansion to Cinemascope for which Disney offers corrected copies. Some of us have corrected copies and -- as Dan mentioned for BTTF -- some will still have the error copies. 

Yeah, I got the corrected copies.  In my opinion though, for the purposes of profiling, the final (corrected) version is what should be entered.  If you bought BTTF six months after the initial release, you would have gotten the corrected version.  If you got the original bad ones, they could be replaced at no charge.  It's obviously what the studio intended to release.  That's just my thoughts on the subject.

I'm sure some folks would argue the collectibility of these bad disks, but I've never understood why somebody would purposely want a screwed up release.

Why??  well apparently thru the poll we currently have here there are more of us who never watch the discs they buy and they just still on the shelve gathering dust , and in most cases are also unopened..

It becomes a matter of history, James. Especially in view of the fact that there is a BRAND-new release of the BTF Trilogy which is correct. For example, there has been much ado made over the release of some Paramount HE TV releases  being released with different Music involved, similar in style and form to the Original showing but DIFFERENT. Today it was revealed that Paramount HE is going to offer  consumers of The Fugitive 2.1 discs with the RESTORED Original music cues to replace the ORIGINAL release, the consumer has to send in proofs of purchase but they do NOT have to return the Original discs, these new Discs will of course have new Disc ID's as well, just like the Original vs. the fix on BTTF, and there will be TWO, ultimately, perfectly legitimate setts of Profiles.

In fact the ORIGINAL BTTF Profiles are in the database under Disc ID #s, so why should there be any problem with your suggestion midnit, the correction will have a different Disc ID from the Original "screwed" up release. So I am confused by your complaint.

Using your argument and James' why would it be relevant to have the informartion available about an upside down airplane on a postage stamp that was released almost a hundred years ago, it was after all a screw-up...and it is only worth several thousands of times the value of the correct stamp.

Sorry james, i got you and midnit tangled up.

Midnit:

I am sure the stamp market way back when didn't either. You don't know what tomorrow brings any more than I do. It is historically relevant data and someday...who knows. And it is really no different from LSOH, the nore that people returned their screwed up versions to be corrected, the more theoretical value the ORIGINAL BTTD would have. If everyone  returned their mess ups, except for ONE, then theoretically that last one would become priceless, whether it actually would or not only time will tell.

I think the difference is that very few people actually collect shiny discs, they collect the movies on the discs.

Thanks, Unicus.

While I can't remember any others that were intentionally released in a "mixed Format" than Batman

'Brother Bear' springs to mind (part 1.66:1, part 2.35:1). Other good examples would be 'The Horse Whisperer', or, more recently, 'Enchanted'.

Also Dünyayi kurtaran adam (aka Turkish Star Wars), but that was mostly because it pilfered footage directly from Lucas' movie.

Don't forget the 1927 Napoleon which used a triptych of screens during a number of sequences, and there was also Brainstorm in the 80s which used two aspect ratios.
And wasn't there a fantasy film which started in academy ratio then opened up to widescreen when a character walked through a door? Similar to the colour trick Wizard of Oz used...
