Hey guys, is the TLM PE Region 2, UK version going to feature the audio commentary? Are there any changes with the bonus features in comparison to the US version?

We don't know. It's not mentioned on the press release, but that's nothing new, Disney never advertises commentaries on either the press releases or on the covers. But they've always been included so far

Got A Kid in King Arthur's Court today. Nice release, but it's strange that the English soundtrack is 2.0 while the German one is 5.1.

And ironically, the chances of Cars UK having an Audio Commentary are Zero. See DVDTimes for why.

Potentially good news peeps, I just caught a TV commercial for The Wild. The ad features the various characters riding, climbing, sitting on the DVD cover, so therefore there were lots of up close shots of it. And....

it said 'pictures presents' not 'classics'!

*Disney fans worldwide rejoice*

Although let's not rest easy till the actual thing is released!

It seems as though Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest will be available earlier in the UK than in North America; here, it's out on November 20th!

Well, if anyone cares (I dont) my copy from PLAY I just had drop through my box (ooo-err Missus) has "classics" on the cover.

OH NO!

This will be contraversial!

On the back it says "Disney's 46th Animated Classic" and on the booklet in the pack, The Wild is listed as #46 on the Walt Disney Classics list!

Let the flame war begin!

Great, just great! As if Chicken Little being considered a classic wasn't bad enough.

Is this what future generations will have to remember from the 2000s period?

Well, I've literally just watched it (and then had a closer look a the packaging, which explains the time difference between posts) and I didn't think it was that bad. One of the better non-Pixar CGI films infact. However, it was a little too busy, especially at the start. I'll post more thoughts on it later in the "What Movie..." thread.

I understand the feeling towards The Wild (even though I haven't seen it yet myself) but let's face facts - it's not the only title of the now 46 classics to be a bit of a disappointment (although I won't name names as I'm sure we all have different likes and dislikes amongst the collection).

I guess that's one of the prices you pay when you have set such high standards in the past, there will always be times when Disney can't live up to expectation. I'm sure Pixar will produce a dud at some point but you can bet we'll all still rush out and buy it!

Incidentally how come I never receive pre-ordered dvd's before release date? Come to think of it I can only think of one instance when I've received one actually on the day of release. I usually have to wait until the wednesday

Is sendit.com a DVD shop from the UK? Would they also ship to Germany or any other European country?

But we're not angry because it's being called a classic and it stinks, we're angry because it's being called a classic when it wasn't even made by Disney.
