DVD's with noticable Edge Enhancement
I can't say I've ever noticed Edge Enhancement. But that was before I got a larger TV. A 46" Samsung DLP. I noticed Edge Enhancement right away on A Bug's Life CE DVD. This was the anamorphic edition too. The ant's had little hallows around their heads. Should I be seeing EE on this DVD? Reviews I've read say it's a stunning digital transfer. Is there possbily some calibration needed on my DVD or TV to reduce the visibility of EE? What other movies have noticable EE? I saw the post about Tombstone Vista Series.

A Bug's Life should not have edge halos. If you're seeing them, make sure you calibrate your TV with Avia or Digital Video Essentials. Your sharpness setting may be too high.
As mentioned above, Tombstone (Vista Series) and The Phantom Menace are two of the very worst DVDs for edge enhancement. I also nominate the anime Akira.

Gosford Park - and its application of "DarbeeVision" is insanely touted as an improvement to the image.
Take a look at some of their samples: http://darbeevision.com/print/print_g.php
Tell me - why would anyone think the enhanced images are better?

Wow they actually advertise that as a valuable service?

Today I viewed Tombstone and TPM. I could definitely see EE big time. However I'm detecting halos in A Bug's Life as well. In case anyone here wants a reference point in Bug's Life, I can easily see halos around Dot's head at the point where Flik is giving her the speech about pretending the rock is a seed and will become a tree someday. Sorry, don't have the exactly time point handy (Maybe 10 minutes into the movie). Can anyone else detect EE in this movie?
What could be causing this? Maybe a better DVD player connected via HDMI would solve the problem?

I checked A Bug's Life at the scene you cite (it's about 7 minutes into the movie), and didn't see any e.e.
