The 2008 "Platinum Edition" DVD and Blu-ray release includes the film in its original Super Technirama 70 aspect ratio of 2.55:1, which makes the movie even wider than when originally presented theatrically in 1959.
The 1998 ABC airing had the Buena Vista Distribution Co., Inc. custom logo as well as the rest of the opening credits were cut, and instead the "Walt Disney Presents" credit appears before the opening scene.
The 2003 Special Edition DVD release included two versions of the film: one in 1.33:1 pan-and-scan and a widescreen print formatted in a 2.35:1 aspect ratio.
