Just got the DVD of this today for the kids , enjoyed this "Walt Disney Film " though this seemed to be aimed more at the Teenage Kids than the smaller ones ,but hard to imagine Comedy Cuba Gooding, Jr. James Coburn as father and son (I had just watched "The Magnificent 7").------------------

I refused to buy the DVD of this movie because the only version available is 1.33:1, and I bought a 16:9 set about three weeks ago. Obviously, Disney does not care about this movie very much.------------------

I just rented the thing and I have a Wide Screen so it is abit annoying when studio's still can't use at least 16:9 or a choice for formats , I got "Behind Enemy Lines" at the same time and this was great as you could adjust the ratio (Anamorphic) to fit the screen or in Letter Box.------------------

I actually started watching "Snow Dogs", I showed the movie this past weekend, and after about the first splice I realize this is a horrible movie, then after the 3rd splice I realize the high points are the splices going through. The joys of working in a one screen building. The show just had no plot, and what plot it did have lacked anything. Though, the film came from TES, and it was in GREAT shape, I was suprised. I had the sticky wraps around the reels, when did they put them on there, I didn't really like those, but they were on all the reels and not falling off, so that was a good thing. It looked like it was only shown at one other theatre (maybe two) well, it had a quick go from theatres. I guess that was the best part of the film.
