The only surviving footage of the Sunset Squid sequence (shot by a documentary filmmaker) was in regular screen format. I wondered how it would have looked in widescreen (Leagues was shot in CinemaScope) - so I reformatted it into Letterbox. I think this is pretty close to how the sequence appeared originally, since the documentary cameraman was allowed to place his 16mm Bolex right alongside the 'A' Camera during his time on the set.
To quote Walt Disney himself:
"What are you shooting here? A keystone comedy?"
That was what he said of this very scene.
