This is why I kept my laserdisc copy. I've even watched the laser with the
DVD audio playing (although an adjustment is required when Hey Bulldog
starts up). For years I used to make friends copies of Yellow Submarine
off laserdisc with the Hey Bulldog sequence edited in from a bootleg tape
copy I had (and I kept "Beatles to battle!").

This is one of the rare instances where I wish fullscreen had been
included.

Saw Fantasia in its reissue with the top and bottom cropped...dreadful.
