OVERALL: Draw
1.78:1 aspect ratio: The SEs, for the Anamorphic-transfer, 5.1-channel audio and additional extras. The transfer quality is also better.
4:3 aspect ratio: The regular R2 or R4 releases, for a different selection of extras to the SEs. R1 is missing 5.1-channel audio (it still has read-along storybook and trailer).
About the aspect ratio:
The AristoCats (1970) is one of the several (basically from 101 Dalmatians (1961) to The Fox and the Hound (1981)) animated films from Disney, where there have been some confusion (and debates) about the original aspect ratio.
Most of these films were shown theatrically in widescreen (1.85:1 or perhaps 1.66:1), but there are also people who prefer 4:3 open-matte versions (some claiming that its actually the OAR).
With The AristoCats (1970), the 4:3 version is indeed open matte, as confirmed in the review (with screencaps) here at UltimateDisney.com.
Rewind doesnt want to be part of these aspect-ratio debates, so we recommend making your own decision based on the reviews, screencaps and other sources. We also feel, that you cannot go that wrong with theatrical aspect ratio. -
