A member at the Swedish Disney-related site magicmovies.se asked Dave Smith about it and got the following reply by e-mail: We have never been able to determine who the initials belong to. Even the animators who worked on the film did not know. It was suggested that someone who worked on the film pu...

They will most certainly come out on Blu-ray, but I'm afraid you'll have to wait a few years.

The tentative release schedule has The Lion King for autumn 2011 and Bambi for 2013.

Here's some information I've picked up (and translated) from one of Disney's official Nordic press sites. The term "Platinum Edition" is not used in my country, but the release strategy has been the same so far. The interesting thing is that the Platinum line now seems to include 15 titles...

Who says 2009?

Yes, The Lion King will be released again. But I doubt it will happen in 2009. My guess would be more like 2011.

The original cut of Bedknobs and Broomsticks was actually some 144 minutes. One scene is now lost, and the restored cut is 139 minutes. I own the R1 DVD of it — luckily, as B & B was recently (2007) released in Scandinavia on DVD and it has the extra-short German version of 89 minutes! Very pec...

The 2003 DVD was derived from a 35mm print and not the original Technirama negatives, resulting in a 2.35:1 AR (Technirama is 70mm with an AR of about 2.25:1). So there is a certain percentage of image lost on all sides as the 35mm is "zoomed in" from the 70mm negatives. You're right abou...

The only thing that annoys me with the Scandinavian Make Mine Music is that it's practically unwatchable on my PC as the animation leaves trails. I've found out that every DVD frame does not correspond to every film frame. Some film frames are merged onto one DVD frame, for example. I don't underst...

Still, I guess it's the best version available on DVD today, and yo...
