Why isn’t Avatar in 16:9? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

I was watching Kim Possible, a 16:9 show, which came out in the early 2000s and I was wondering why Avatar would be 4:3 even though it came a few years later?

The one on Disney plus is 16:9

Wasnt Disney plus notorious for cropping video so that everything would be 16:9? Afaik they even destroyed a joke in the Simpsons through that

Heres an "article" about it

Edit: The article is just about the cropping. I couldnt find a source for the Simpsons-situation apart from Reddit.

I think Kim possible specifically was adjusted to 16:9 for reruns on Disney XD.

I forgot that Disney had a program called XD and was seriously confused at first why youd find this fact so funny
