When loading the film into the projectors, I did notice that it was Flat, which is unusual. Most "epics" are Scope. I bet releasing it in Flat is something Disney prefers, probably so that their DVD releases look better and larger on TV screens. (It has nothing to do with Imax, because the decision to release it to Imax theaters was only made very recently... hence the reason we're only running it for one week, because we have a prior commitment to "Dark Shadows" as do many other theaters.) Luckily, because I watched it on a real IMAX screen, it didn't make much of a difference; once the film started, I never even thought about the aspect ratio.
