Here's another review, in which the reviewer calls it "very highly recommended".

I find it odd that all the SB reviews out so far have all shown the old cover art rather than the revised one.

I dunno about the others, but screenshots of some of the menus and virtual galleries are enough for me. A friend of mine already made some caps of the actual film from her R2 copy, so I already have an idea of how good the transfer looks. :D

I'd like to see screenshots from the trailers and from the Andreas Deja introductions, since these aren't available on the R2 DVD! :-)

the dude in the review doesnt know what he's writting lol

He said "Aside from a rare laserdisc, the movie has never been available on home video in widescreen format, even though it was Disney's first widescreen animated film."

Ouch! what's that huh? looks to me like the Widescreen VHS! :lol: Released in 1997 along with the P&S one :)

He said "The original mono soundtrack has been very nicely separated into Dolby Digital 5.1 audio, although it is mostly front-loaded"

How is it mono? Sleeping Beauty was recording is Stereo-phonic. Stereo last time I checked is nothing near Mono :)

he Said "who speaks with Mary Costa, the voice of Aurora, plus art director Eyvind Earle, supervising animators Ollie Johnston and Marc Davis, background painter Frank Armitage, artists Mike Gabriel and Michael Giaimo. I wonder when this was all done, as Earle died in 2000."

I take it he's not a big disney fan and has never bought this movie before. :) all the featurettes in the DVD were recorded in 1997 or before for it's 1997 release :)

He said "Once Upon a Dream as well as a very bad music video from a lame teen pop band No Secrets doing their take on a retitled Once Upon (Another) Dream.."

at least we agree on something! :lol: :lol:

hehe I hope i don't get attacked by anyone :)

You know what they say...if you can't take the heat, stay out the kitchen. ("We on a mission")

If you're going to publish a review, at least do your research and know that what you're saying is fact. Of course, with the digital medium the way it is, it can be fixed and it never happened. The widescreen comment is something anyone should know, though.

Yes, I think that may be what's going on, since we have a page and a half of new posts. No one really cares how many posts anyone has, its just wasting everyone's time to post nonsense to increase your numbers. At least we have the MARK ALL AS READ feature.
