I know that the movie was posted just two weeks ago but that offering was the 1.85:1 home video version.

This offering is the original 1.33:1 that the film was shot in. At first I thought there wouldn't be much of a difference beyond some vertical content but it turns out that the movie in its widescreen form was thrashed. They cropped it to fake a widescreen presentation and then shrank it horizontally. They hacked off roughly 1/3 of the image and then distorted what was left. Wtf?! The colours on the dvd are also generally brighter. Whoever oversaw the blu-ray completely failed at their job, unless the job description was 'Ruin Everything'.

The dvd's audio is 192kb/s AC-3 so I muxxed in Frankencode's opus audio track, which is likely a recode of the blu-ray's DTS-HD track.

The expanded soundtrack is a 320kb/s rip of the 2015 Intrada CD. It has one extra score track and three demos.

-the stats- | Megalinks MegaDB -the stats-
Overall bitrate is 3671kb/s
Audio is 192kb/s AC-3 and 384kb/s Opus; both are 2-channel stereo
English subtitles
Chapter markers

[edit] I feel like I should have mentioned that the only video filter applied was Decomb. No sharpening nor noise reduction.

“The Secret of NIMH” was animated at full-aperture 1.37:1 academy but composed for and matted at 1.85:1 widescreen in theaters. The 1.33:1 transfer included on the Family Fun DVD is an open-matte presentation and, technically, has more picture information on the top and bottom compared to the Blu-ray or widescreen DVD. However, “NIMH” was shown at 1.85:1 during exhibition, and Don Bluth and Gary Goldman prefer that the film be seen in widescreen

u/Seancarl has clarified the aspect ratio confusion. The artists' intent is fine but I'll make my own decision about what to watch when more than one choice is available and I think we gain more from the 1.33:1 presentation than we do from the 1.85:1.
