Original 5.1 Mix: UK Momentum Pictures DVD

Director: Owen Hurley

Best Video:

2002 PAL (Australian) Universal DVD

Additional Info:

Mainframe Entertainment, one of the co-producers of this movie, while based in Canada, made their content for 25 FPS/the PAL standard, making the 2002 Australian PAL Universal DVD release the one closest to the original intent (and it also has a higher resolution of 576i compared to the 480i of the NTSC offerings).

Note, for the NTSC DVD offers, not all have the correct aspect ratio. The 2015 US and Canadian Universal releases have the intended 1.78:1, while the 2010 Universal and 2001 Lionsgate are both shown in 1.85:1.

Director: Hou Hsiao-hsien

Video format: UHD Blu-ray

France Spectrum 4K Blu-ray

Best Audio:

2002 TF1 Vidéo France DVD

Audio Notes:

France 4K Blu-ray audio is in the wrong pitch, plus the new 5.1 mix is worse than DVD's

Additional Info:

The version screened at the Cannes International Film Festival ran 119 minutes. Hsiao-Hsien Hou then re-cut the movie following its Cannes premiere and reduced the running time to 105 minutes, this is the only version available on home video. Most of the deleted footage came from the "Vicky in Japan" sequences and is included as an extra on some releases.

Original credits: 2009 Blu-ray/2013 3D Blu-ray (preference: the 2009 Blu-ray has rendering errors not on the DVD release or the 3D version but does have the original Disney and Pixar logos caps. Fur textures are differently animated on the 3D version as well) 4K Blu-ray is an upscale.
