Just watched disc Two of A Christmas Story (2003 Special 20th Ed). and am pleased to announce that the entire side and all its features are all in anamorphic 16x9  just as Disc One is. Now Disc One is setup in General Information under Video Format for its aspect ratio section., But pleased as I am that side two is 16 x9 . I feel this should be included in the area of Disc #2 'description' maybe as  "Bonus features 16x9 ". 
BTW all of the bonus material disc three for How the West Was Won was also setup in anamorphic 16x9 as well. Now I now for sure that I have a lot of  bonus materials for other DVD's that are anamorphic widescreen Disc 1 and 'non anamorphic letterbox' for Disc Two . -The Polar Express being one of them .    What a disappointment., and I made sure I marked the disc information on that disc Two as Non Anamorphic. 

So.., again, I'm back here, hat in hand, seeing if I can get any decent feedback on this.,   
I'll  even beat Skip to his wrath against this as he usually does.  ''I know you can make this Local  but doesn't anyone else care to get the best updated information?''  I'd sure like to know what other titles I currently have and don't have time to look thru to update this request on my own. 
But here are three titles for you to look at today .. and decide if contributions should somehow include this important DVD data .
In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird. Now the World is weird and People take Prozac to make it Normal.

Hello,

I think the aspect ration of supplement material or Binus films should not be listed, just my 2 cents

The problem is that it can widely vary from release to release. Often one featurette on a bonus features disc will be 16x9 enhanced, while another on the same disc may just be letterbox, and yet another may be fullscreen.

I agree... we already have a place for this... don't need it in the disc description too. I personally couldn't care less if all the bonus material is also anamorphic.... but that is just me.

Also as Katatonia stated, it can vary if they are anamorphic or not, so i would suggest to not contribute those facts
