Tarzan: The Enhanced Multi-Angle Feature - alternate throughout the entire film to see the complete storyboards/storyreels or the pencil animation for the film.
--Storyboards/Storyreels Angle
--Rough Animation Angle
--Clean-Up Animation Angle
--Final Animation Angle (default angle during regular play)
Backstage Disney:
-
The Art of the Storyboard - new 30-minute featurette about the history of storyboards and how they're used in virtually every film produced.
I figure offering the alternate-angle versions as a mail-order special would allow consumers to choose if they actually want the bonus disc, that way, bitrate for the main film won't be affected.
Of course, I may change that later on in other Ultimate Editions and offer it as part of the package already the way I have before, but this is just a test run to see how people respond to it (lol).
Monday, February 5, 2007:
"Doctor Gulley and the Dalmatians of Doom" has become "Happy the Dancing Elf of Phrooflington" and I don't care anymore.
Wednesday, March 21, 2007:
I hope I will not regret returning to this thread later on and that some people have learned their lesson. I hope that any future posts after mine will not contain anything remotely similar to descriptions and names for bonus features, packaging, banner names, etc. From now on, if any of my new descriptions or featurettes are copied and slightly modified for someone else's set, I will pull out once again, and simply ignore that user's messages on the boards. It's not my thread, but I'll ask Sequel to once again ask for it to be closed, to further prevent more acts of plagiarism.
