Difference between new and old "A Christmas Story?"

What's the difference between the old and recently released "A Christmas Story"? Thanks.

The new one is a two disc SE with anamorphic widescreen. The old one was full screen.

No difference in the actual movie (i.e., same story, same number of scenes, etc.) . . . just in presentation and extras.

For more details, see here . . .

Is the new version a better picture? I recall a lot of complaints about the picture quality of the old release. Has it been cleaned up & remastered?

The new one actually has WS and FS on disc 1. As far as PQ, there is a major improvement there. For a 20 year old film meant to look "old", it looked pretty damn good on a 57" display. Much cleaner looking, but still retains its feel.
