I am really excited about this news, first off. Despite the apparent shortcomings, the movies will be presented in their original widescreen form, which is long overdue for a US home video release (even the last release from a few years ago when Warner Bros. itself still held the rights was pan-and-scan full screen, which was ridiculous and not really necessary since more and more households were getting widescreen TVs even then.)

I was hoping we'd see a DVD/Blu-ray release of these movies following their showings on Cartoon Network and then on Pokémon TV for a couple of weeks each last summer.

I just hope the Blu-Ray and DVDs aren't limited to being sold only by online retailers, though.
