Just came across this today at Target, and it was also in an email from Amazon.

A "Diamond Edition" DVD+Digital Copy, felt like it was two discs, no slipcover.

What the heck? Didn't we already have a DE Blu-Ray+DVD+DC? I'm curious why they'd release a stand-alone DVD this much later...

I replace all my cases with non-ecoboxes, I hate the cases with holes in them. And for some of the stupid packaging (e.g. shoving two DVDs on top of each other in the two-movie packs), I put them in Viva Elite 3-disc cases that are the same width, but no stacking discs. Basically I just go with Viva...

I second Tangled, from OP's post. All of my friends who like Disney keep giving me a hard time for not watching that movie but I'm just not interested. And I'm sort-of mad that they put the princess from it in the same tier as the DAC Princesses... those were "flat", she's "3D" (...

Wow. Im baffled. This might be their worst restoration yet. Its like the whole movie has been painted over, and blurred. Like they applied some photoshop filter to the entire movie. The funny thing is that's literally what Lowry Digital has done to the other Disney movies. They paint over them to m...

http://i.imgur.com/GHTrqVl.jpg (Click for full size) I literally do not know how else to put this. The Blu-Ray looks like someone used a WarpSharp filter and completely failed at it. I'll have to try the iTunes digital copy (it's the same as what's now in the iTunes store - they replaced the Academ...

Ha, about time someone from Disney themselves complains about Disney's own restorations

Yeah, I found a copy on eBay and snatched it up pretty quickly. Never mind this thread

New bonus features will a documentary/featurette entitled Becoming Mr. Sherman, and "Mary-oke" for "A Spoonful of Sugar," "Jolly Holiday," "Chim-Chim-Cheree," and, of course, "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious." Am I the only person bothered by thi...

Ugh. I really want to buy this, just because I'm collecting the Blu-Ray releases of DAC's, but part of me is just raging at how stupid Disney is being. :angry: But not until this native 16:9 format do we get to see how Sword would have looked in its original release. That is probably one of the most...

Interesting that it was shot open-matte but that theatrical prints would be hard-matted like that. I am also curious how that survived unless it was one of those higher quality transfers (I forget the name - but let's use Star Wars as an example, most of those prints are mostly deteriorated and have...

So... it's been confirmed that the new Blu-Ray that is coming out tomorrow of The Sword In the Stone is cropped widescreen, rather than open-matte Academy. iTunes used to have it in Fullscreen, but it looks like they've changed their masters as well. http://i.imgur.com/YqaozpQ.png The good news is, ...

Sorry for the late reply. Yes, I have some Buena Vista, Miramax and Hollywood Video ones. Not sure about Touchstone, I will check when I get home. I don't really consider the 1985 blue castle as a "bumper", because it's the actual start to most of those movies. Until Disney retro-actively ...

The one on Xbox Live actually looks really good. In fact, I almost think it looks *too* good, kinda like Cinderella :x Want me to upload a short clip so you can see? Granted, due to technical reasons (see below if you're really interested), I had to record it in 1080i and then will deinterlace it to...

For someone who takes delight in pointing out Disney's errors, you should have already known that the Blu-Ray actually runs the full 128 minutes. The "88 minutes" on the back cover is a misprint. :roll: I'm surprised you haven't rationalized THAT into "more proof that they don't real...

Somewhere like eBay probably. I usually just look for "used - like new" copies, and ask the sellers if they have a chapter insert. I guess I won't buy them new on Amazon... god I wish Disney would stop screwing over their releases and if they keep them in print just be consistent with them...

On the topic of Sword In the Stone, I noticed that iTunes is selling it in HD (720p), as well as Xbox Live (supposedly 1080p, I will be checking that later), and it's actually in 1.33:1. I went ahead and bought the XBL version, and recorded it to my computer in 1080 so I can check it. If we do end u...

Personally, I'd prefer if both versions were included (Academy and Matted) for the films in question. Satisfy both camps and call it a day. Then I wouldn't have to read some of the petty, ill-informed, inaccurate, and frankly, juvenile posts from some of the more entitled Disney fans out there. Me ...

I saw that post, and while I don't doubt that they are authentic theatrical booklets (I forget the actual name for those), there are some obvious idiotic tendencies: "The Many Adventures Of Winnie The Pooh" 1977 Premiere Release Information: "To pooh-ject a pooh-rific picture on your ...

Oh, one last thing - people seem to find letterboxing of super-wide (2.35:1 or whatnot) more acceptable for HDTV formats than pillar-boxing. So therefore they would have no real reason to crop the wider films down to 16:9, only cropping 4:3 ones down to fit 16:9.

That's wrong. They didn't chop anything off, they opened the picture for those theaters, that hadn't any widescreen equipment. Um, what? Yes, they did chop the picture off. It was animated Academy ratio, the only way to make it widescreen is by cutting part of the picture off. No ifs, ands, or buts...
