I don't think it can be emphasized enough to get the widescreen version of this film. I was really hoping they would do with this what Woody did with Manhattan. Plus, with the way televisions are going, 4:3 will go the way of VHS.

since Groening's said they deleted enough material to compose another movie, I would offer a caveat that the inevitable double dip is surely in this title's future. Like that will stop Me from buying it #-o
The release date should match up with when the season sets usually come out (August and December)!

also, I'm sure this will be rectified on a future release, but what an insult to not have a writer's commentary track
