Warner Home Video is about to release the 30th aniversary edition of Willy Wonka and the Chocolote Factory on DVD, which is great. What's not so great is that there will be no widescreen version included on the disk. If you are a true cineaste, you understand the importance of preserving the integrity and original intent of the filmmakers' vision. If you're not just remember this: the black space at the top and bottom of the screen is a good thing. You're actually seeing all of the film, not less of it.
All films should be released on DVD in their original widescreen theatrical aspect ratio. Sign this petition that tells Warner Home Video that we want to see Willy Wonka the way it was meant to be seen. As of this posting the petition has nearly 10,000 signatures.
