In all the years that I have been following Disney DVDs, I am yet to work out a single pattern to their global releases. Why aren't ALL DVDs released simultaneously across the globe with the same bonus features, for example?landofdisney wrote:To be honest I don't have any comprehensions as to what would cause such a delay. Can anyone provide any insight as to why the dvd (which would definately sell well) is delayed? Also, should I hold my breath for chip & dale + ducktales releases or just bite the bullet and pay silly money for region 1?
As for Ducktales and Chip & Dale, while I wouldn't completely count them out, I wouldn't hold my breath either. We have rarely seen any 'season sets' of Disney animation here. Gargoyles didn't get a release, and the tendency has been to release single disc compilations. Heroes, Winnie the Pooh, Timon & Pumba etc. Some of these aren't available in the US, but it isn't much of a trade off for the lack of local boxes.
But as I said, who knows what Disney Australia are doing? I suspect the delay comes from the US Mother Ship at times, but given that the hard work for the PAL transfer has already been done - with a UK version already in the shops, presumably dual encoded for R2/4 - I don't understand the delay either.
