Dumbo and Robin Hood dates have been brought foward to May 7th and each come with limited edition Holographic Packaging (I'm guessing like TFATH and Peter Pan slipcovers), Dumbo also comes with...learning card inserts :roll:

Just ordered Peter Pan SE from PLAY. It better come with the slipcase. :wink:

Also ordered Dumbo SE and Robin Hood SE. I preordered them separately to get the individual slipcases, rather than the 2-pack box.

Whats going on with Disney in the UK??
They have changed the classics packaging on the spine (not a big deal but why bother now since the majority of the classics have already been released) and they've started throwing shiny slipcovers on everything??

Im not complaning, its just weird how all of a sudden these changes have occured.

Have any of you received "Peter Pan" yet? I'm just curious to see if you actually got a dubbed version.

Does it include the original mono soundtrack? Our local release doesn't.

I just saw the Dumbo Special Edition trailer in the Disney Store today, and I thought it looked quite different from other special edition trailers for some reason. plus, the beautiful song 'Baby Mine' was murdered by another singer during the trailer.

Eeeew... I don't like these 2-Disc box sets. I'd rather have them seperately! :x

:lol:

Why is Robin Hood so grossly underrated? Definitely the George Lazenby of the animated classics!!!

I like Robin Hood and everything, but why does it get a SE and Hercules doesnt? I would love to see Herc have a SE! And possibly Hunchback. They seem to be kinda ignored in the DVD stakes at Disney.

To be fair, Robin Hood isn't much of a special edition. There are no in depth documentaries or anything on it - all it has is a gallery and deleted scene / alternate ending.
