Well spotted!

I don't see it coming out before February though. The current slate takes us up to January, and it isn't listed there.

A few March 15 titles are now up on BVHE:

- Children of the Corn 666
- Dracula II: Ascension (Tentative)
- Flight Plan
- Hellraiser VI: Hellseeker

None of those is strictly Disney (all are Touchstone or Miramax), but I guess it is news.

Any word yet on Season 4 of "The Golden Girls"?...

And when will we have a new batch of the live-action classics?
I'm just valentine candy and boxing-gloves!

I'm really hoping that the major delay we had with The Lion King (which was about 6 or 7 months from memory) doesn't happen again with L & TT. For the most part, we've had the discs on or around the US release date.

A quick check shows no mention of dates for either. Very disappointing.

Yay! Flightplan's coming to DVD soon! By the way Loomis - I don't think that DVD Bits have commented on Gilmore Girls -The Complete Season 1 and 2 being released on Wednesday April 5th, and according to EzyDVD.com.au Everybody Loves Raymond- The Complete Series 4 is too. Any new reviews coming on DVD Bits?

Raymond might get a review, because Warner do tend to send us stuff. I won't be doing either review, but hopefully they will pop up (I WOULD like to see Gilmore Girls through).

Generally, things are slow at the moment, for a number of reasons. Apparently, we'll get some new discs out soon.

With the Disney stuff, we usually have to buy the TV series ourselves because they make us send them back!

The Office of Film & Literature Classification web site mentions the Lady and the Tramp - Special Edition as classified (On 03/02/2005) for an upcoming DVD release. So the release date shoudn't be too far ahead now.

I had a look yesterday at the OFLC's website, and I'm not so sure that I'll be buying it here.

Usually when a two disc edition is submitted, they have a seperate rating for each disc.

On early assumptions, BVHE Australia is only releasing the one disc edition with the two disc edition coming out much later on. (if at all) :(

It is possible they are yet to classify the 2nd disc.

It would be a first for the 'Platinum' titles: a single being released here instead of the 2-Disc. Of course, they have done it to OTHER titles all too often...

Would be a real shame...
