Author Topic: Dr. Doolittle 2 Michael Goucher Film Handler Posts: 34 From: New York, NY USA Registered: Oct 1999 posted 06-20-2001 10:18 PM                        20th Century Fox Feature Film Reels = 5 A/R = 2.35:1 Anamorphic "Scope" Format = SRD, DTS, SR Analog Trailers = (For FOX: "Planet of the Apes") other studio product trailers unknown to me at this time. Rating: PG Synopsis: Eddie Murphy reprises his popular role as the Doctor Doolittle who talks to, and hears, animals. In this adventure he tries to save a forest from logging and development by becoming a court-appointed catalyst for re-acclimating a trained "dancing bear" into his natural habitat. Very funny and great for pre-teen kids.  |  IP: Logged Michael Brown Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1522 From: Bradford, England Registered: May 2001 posted 06-21-2001 07:50 AM                     Scope?  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 06-21-2001 02:16 PM                        "Scope" as in CinemaScope, the original version of 2X anamorphic format introduced by 20th Century Fox in 1953 with "The Robe". It has become the generic term used for any 35mm 2X anamorphic process, including Panavision: http://www.widescreenmuseum.com/ Standard SMPTE 195 specifies the projectable image area of "Style B" Theatrical release prints with an anamorphic image as 0.825 x 0.690 inches (20.96 x 17.53 mm). With a 2X horizontal magnification, this produces an aspect ratio of 2.39:1 on the screen. ------------------ John P.

I'm surprised at it myself. imdb.com says flat for Dr. Dolittle 2. Someone please confirm one way or the other.  |  IP: Logged Jesse Skeen Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1517 From: Sacramento, CA Registered: Aug 2000 posted 06-22-2001 08:16 AM                     It was shot in super 35- I can tell by looking at the flat trailers for this.  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA. USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-22-2001 10:50 PM                        It's scope. Also, SR-D and DTS only. No SDDS. Did anyone else _not_ get DTS disks for this?  |  IP: Logged Michael Brown Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1522 From: Bradford, England Registered: May 2001 posted 06-23-2001 08:29 AM                     lol...yes I was just suprised that it would be in scope the first was flat.  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 06-23-2001 01:41 PM                        Micheal Brown: Apologies for thinking you needed a definition of "scope". I wasn't sure if the same term was used in the UK. ------------------ John P.
