I wanna know where Death Becomes Her is. It's the 20th anniversary, and the old DVD was a crappy full-screen transfer. The film was a hit, it's a comedy classic still highly regarded...WHERE is it???

Thanks, solium. Wow, they really did a hatchet job on Tail, didn't they?  For a film that was such a commercial success back in the day, it's shameful the DVD was so heavilly-altered. I actually took my old laserdisc player out of mothballs earlier this year just so I could watch the film with the original audio (Tail was, in fact, the very first movie I bought in the format). Sadly, what looked so crisp and impressive to me on a 1996-era tube TV looks pretty rough by today's HD standards. If they ever bother releasing it to Blu-Ray, I hope the audio snafu is addressed, otherwise I'll be stuck watching it on laser (albiet in the CAV format, which is still the best way to pick frame-by-frame through animation).
