I know that like 35% of DVD transfers ARE from Laserdisc (due to loss of the original print or other difficulties) so I can understand where the pan and scan comes in but really, YOU'RE FREAKING DISNEY, YOU HAVE ACCESS TO THE ORIGINAL THEATRICAL PRINT! YOU CAN DO AN ANAMORPHIC WIDESCREEN TRANSFER OF SAID PRINT NO PROBLEM!! WHY DISNEY, WHY!?
The film's original aspect ratio was 1.37 : 1. Meaning it would be called "full screen" today. Most films were like that until around 1953. They didn't do pan and scan. No, you're just a fucking idiot.
