Thank you so much. That's me off to HMV tomorrow with £7. I did a search of the website/forum but got so many hits for "Son of Flubber" I didn't have the energy to trawl through them for your nugget of info. Thanks again.

Flubber UK DVD, Anamorphic?

I'm on a mad crusade to replace as many of my non-anamorphic DVDs as possible. I own the region 1 non-anamorphic widescreen DVD of Flubber because at the time, the UK release was 4:3 only. I went to HMV today and noticed that the release they now have is widescreen, 1.85:1. Due to the wisdom of Buen...

Has anyone considered that Disney may have planned ahead, know what final Treasures they will release and have already filmed Leonard Maltin's introductions etc. From his point of view the Treasures may have finished as he has no more work left to do. But from ours, Disney may have everything in the...

I hate them! I like to buy my DVDs from Canada because they're cheaper but if I'm buying a special edition like the Pocahontas DVD that's just been released or a Platinum edition, I will pay the extra to not have the yellow "sticker" on the cover and buy from America. I bought Tarzan &...

I was just wondering how you were getting on with your order? I too would like a region 2 copy of Fantasia but I'm put off by the expensive prices on ebay and from amazon sellers. The site you posted the link to has quite a few out of print Disney DVDs so I'm a bit dubious about it. I have the regio...

I'm back and have just compared the region 1 and 2 DVDs for myself and although I've not watched it all the way through, the film was definitely made in widescreen. The region 2 DVD shows more detail at the edges of the picture. For example, the star that flys around the screen at the beginning, on ...

Mickey's Once Upon A Christmas Original Aspect Ratio

Does anyone know what the original aspect ratio of this film is? I have the region 1 DVD which as you know is 4:3 (or 1.33:1) fullscreen. In the UK the region 2 DVD is presented in 1.78:1 (Don't know if it's anamorphic or not). I would like to get the widescreen version but would not be interested i...

I think your covers look great! I think that most of the time, Disney got the video cover right the first time and subsequent releases have never done anything for me. The original Little Mermaid cover was a classic and the re-release was pants! If Disney do have to come up with new cover designs I ...

I picked up my copy of Ducktales the Movie yesterday here in the UK. The Around the World with Timon & Pumbaa is a puzzler though. Play.com says it's out of stock. The only other online retailer selling it is woolworths and MVC (Both part of the same retail group). I've not seen it in shops but ...

Does anyone think that the treasures will be popular here in the UK? I agree that the tins are ugly and I don't think that they have been pushed into the public's awareness enough. We all know what they are when we go into HMV or wherever, but does the rest of the public? I don't know about you, but...

Rescuers DVD

I recently read on the forum about the quality of The Rescuers DVD, particularly the Walt Disney Pictures logo at the start of the film (Blue background, white stripey castle). Whilst I agree that the quality is terrible, I've not read anyone mention that it's not the original title logo. Please cor...

I had a feeling that DVD was going to be big way back in 1998/1999 and couldn't wait to watch films with way better quality than VHS. I started to buy discs before I got a player and the first Disney DVD I purchased was George of the Jungle. It was one of the first Disney DVDs that was released here...

I've just received my copy of Finding Nemo, and that has a cardboard slipcase around it. I was wondering, did Monsters. Inc have a similar slip case because mine doesn't. I live in the UK so I don't have the ability to browse around video stores in the US!

Why would you want to cancel?
