The two-disc version of How the West Was Won (US 883929026272) is currently in the database as having two-child profiles. The movie is presented in two ways: in a standard rectangle and in a "Smilebox" to simulate the curved Cinerama screen. You can see screenshots here.

The question is how this should be entered. I submitted to remove the profiles and got a bunch of no votes on the basis that it's effectively two different aspect ratios, but I don't think this makes sense. We don't normally enter child profiles for different aspect ratios. Also, both child profiles are listed as having an AR of 2.89:1. One of the discs on the main profile is listed as "Special Smilebox Process Transfer" and the child profiles don't seem to add any information to this. Both discs have the same cut of the same movie with the same audio options, etc.

So how should we handle this? Do we do no child profiles and just let the special feature notes and disc info convey that there's a Smilebox version, declare the rectangular version the main version (it's disc one) and the Smilebox as some sort of alternate and create a child profile for it or treat like a box set and create child profiles for both?

Unique case, WS/FS is similar but different and is an appropriate comparison.  SmileVision is also not listed in the Video section of the program.

Users seem to want "child" profiles for everything. It's misused like crazy, gets into the online, attempts to fix it get downvoted, developers do/say nothing about it.

Pathetic.

Not a box set, no children, merely a mention in the "Other Features" field.

I agree with the others... not a box set. I would probably update my notes with the reasoning and a link to this thread.
