Peter Pan should be waiting for me then when I return home from Disneyland on 17th March!

:)

Might be a bit tired to watch it though after a 7 hour overnight drive from Disneyland.

:shock:

Oh, that's my birthday, and I'll be in Disneyland. Though I ought to get them on the Saturday before I go from Play.com.

I'll be setting off on the Saturday night at 8:00pm, so I may get chance to have a look before I go. But I'll probably take my laptop with me and take the DVD's along too.

Interestingly enough, it's not Cinderella III or Cinderella 3, simply Cinderella: A twist in Time.

Has anyone noticed that in the UK version of Cinderella III the ribbon where "A Twist in Time" is written on, has the knot in a different spot than the US version? And I really don't like that change.

So is Dumbo a 2-Disc then, or is that just a mistake on ChoicesUK?

If this is true, this will definitely not go well with BVHE R1 consumers, because I hear another edition. This won't do well with me, since I really only want the best edition avaliable, and a 2-Disc sounds a lot better than my 1 disc, even if it loses some stuff. Oh well, if R1 gets a 2-Disc Special Edition, I guess I'll be there to buy it.

Surely it's a mistake. I can't see us getting a 2 disc edition in R2 when they've only had a single disc release in R1. I know there's been Lilo and Stitch, but materials had already been prepared for the R1 release. Was the re-release of Tarzan a 2 disc set over here (I have the original R1 release), but even if it was, again, materials were already prepared for the original release.

yes the re-release of Tarzan was a 2-disc here, you never know, they might be making up for the 1-Disc Alice in Wonderland we got

Well I've checked BBFC and Dumbo SE features were classified in March and April 06, there are 48 minutes of features apparently, not sure if thats enough for 2 discs but you never know

Good News!!

They will not be the same as the Region 1 box sets. The UK boxsets will only have 20 episodes each, unlike the R1s which had 27.

Who, knows I may be pursuaded to get the UK ones, even though I have the R1 ones already, all depends on if they've been DVNRed.
sorry for double post but I just read this, I hope the Good News!! was sarcasm becuase I am not happy at losing 7 episodes :(

No, trust me this really is good news.

I have the region 1 DVDs and the picture quality is awful. There are too many episodes, 9 episodes on a 4 hour disc, not to mention menus and trailers is way too much. Disney obviously realised this because the volume 2 sets had less episodes.

Having less episodes should improve picture quality.
