wtf happened to Simpsons on Disney+? looks like it's zoomed in.

The simpsons was originally made in 4:3. Many people don't like watching with large black bars to the right and left, so they show a cropped 16:9 version. People complained because this is occasionally a problem and ruins a joke, so I believe you can opt into either.

A similar crime against taste as the pan-and-scan "fullscreen" DVDs of the early 2000s. If I want to pay to watch something, don't crop out a chunk of what the cinematographer wanted me to see...

I believe this is the best example of the problems that can be caused:

Open both images and compare. The visual joke is completely ruined with the cropping.

There's an option to switch back to the original 4:3 ratio.
