 The following is a reference / historical listing of the 70-millimeter

The 70mm prints of “Pocahontas” featured pillarboxed imagery (approximately 1.85:1) blown up from spherical 35mm. The audio was interlocked Dolby Digital. Four 70mm prints (plus four backup prints) were synchronously projected onto screens placed throughout Central Park. Disney included a 70mm coming-attraction trailer for “Operation Dumbo Drop” with the premiere presentation.
