Unfortunately, none of them were filmed in Cinerama.
What's neat, of course, is the revival of the large, comfy theater with
a BIG screen and BIG sound.
Speaking of wide-screen epics, I saw "A Bug's Life" *twice* this weekend
-- once on DVD, and then on the wide-screen. I found the animation
strangely uneven, as if it were done using a variety of software
programs. It didn't have the seamless, hand-made quality of Walt's early
work, undoubtedly produced by an army of slave-animators.
It looked to me like each specie had its own design team, i.e. the
Grasshopper team, the Ant team, the Blades of Grass team, etc. Most
wonderful were the Twins, a subtle reference to those jokers in
Kubrick's "The Killer's Kiss."
