Best DVD/Running Times?

What is the best DVD version to get? I've seen full widescreen, clear clips on YouTube from this one, but all the DVDs I find seem to be the very terrible version, fullscreen with dark tones, bad colors, and scratches.

I also noted that IMDb says the US version is 95 minutes long, while the UK version is 101 minutes long. Is this accurate, and if so, what's in those extra six minutes?

I would really like to know as well.

Every version of this film on DVD I've seen is the fullscreen version with muted colors. Yet I have seen clips on youtube in Widescreen with lush beautiful colors. Does anyone know how to acquire that version of the DVD?

Go to Amazon.co.uk. The DVD you want has Alice in the hall, Giant size, with the White Rabbit on the other side.

I wound up buying it and found that besides being in widescreen and having a relatively clean picture (it still wasn't perfect, but it was definitely better than all the US releases), there's no difference at all. I guess it's that weird timing difference PAL video has.
