For most of Disney/Pixar's home releases of its earliest films, aside from the original widescreen release, there is a unique fullscreen release known as reframing. Unlike most fullscreen presentations, which often infamously use "pan-and-scan", where huge portions of entire scenes are actually cropped off so that it would fit on a smaller screen, Pixar actually does the exact opposite, where instead entire scenes had to be completely reanimated or slightly edited to preserve the original widescreen version's quality. This would include expanding the screen vertically and slightly tweaking and moving certain characters, background props, and/or entire scenes so that everything still appears all at once at any given time.

  • For most of Disney/Pixar's home releases of its earliest films, aside from the original widescreen release, there is a unique fullscreen release known as reframing. Unlike most fullscreen presentations, which often infamously use "pan-and-scan", where huge portions of entire scenes are actually cropped off so that it would fit on a smaller screen, Pixar actually does the exact opposite, where instead entire scenes had to be completely reanimated or slightly edited to preserve the original widescreen version's quality. This would include expanding the screen vertically and slightly tweaking and moving certain characters, background props, and/or entire scenes so that everything still appears all at once at any given time. The first Pixar film to use this method was 1998's A Bug's Life, and this continued until 2006's Cars when the introduction of widescreen TVs had actually expanded the scene and therefore making this process obsolete. From Ratatouille onwards, all future Pixar films are and will still be shown only in widescreen, and giving them a fullscreen release would have actually defeated that purpose. Conversely, all future re-releases of past Pixar films (with the sole exception being A Bug's Life) will be left only with their widescreen releases. Even so, the reframed version was exclusive only to the original US versions, as all international versions only show the film in widescreen. It should also be noted that reframing can only work on the earliest CGI animated films because of the ability to move and even alter characters, props, and entire backgrounds and scenes with ease. Here are all of the examples of reframing in the following films:
