To achieve this, they cropped the top and bottom of the 4:3 CGI shots and stretched them to fit the widescreen frame. This resulted in grainy, blurry, and visually jarring special effects sequences next to relatively clean live-action footage. The Advantages of the HEVC 10-bit DVDRip

The DVDs offered both 4:3 and 16:9 versions in different regions. The 16:9 version simply pans-and-scans or crops the CGI, losing details.
