Mrs. Doubtfire: Behind-The-Seams Ed. RE-Release Date: 3/4/20

[DaveWadding]

Moved back. No new date announced.

[Escapay]

fye.com has it in stock, and they're known to stock and sell their initial shipments of delayed/recalled titles.

I just ordered the DVD from the site, just to see if it'd ship, hopefully it'll come in either this or next week.

How odd. I hope this isn't some sort of mistake and they actually do have copies available. I'll have to try it out myself later this evening.

Thanks, Escapay!

I hope so too, otherwise whatever they're shipping me will be quite a surprise, as I got the shipping notice tonight in my e-mail!

Thanks, Escapay!

No problem!

Since the title was delayed/recalled, I'd advise anyone to make the order via fye sooner rather than later. The last time (that I know of) a Fox title was delayed/recalled (June 2006 with Fox Film Noir's Boomerang), the copies that FYE had went out *quickly* and within days were fetching $40 upwards on e-bay.

I second that....
I just ordered one as well, I just hope that they really do have it in stock.

[jrboy]

Mine came in the mail today

[Escapay]

Mine still hasn't come in, even though I already got the "we shipped it!" e-mails.

*harrumph*

[jrboy]

Don't worry, I'm sure that it will come in soon along with its condom

[MadonnasManOne]

Is this in widescreen? It doesn't say, from what I can see. I might actually have to order this!

[jrboy]

Yes this edition is in widescreen and is well worth a buy.

[MadonnasManOne]

Yes this edition is in widescreen and is well worth a buy.

Thanks!

[MadonnasManOne]

Okay, thanks to Escapay and jrboy for the information. I went ahead and placed my order for this! I signed-up for Google Checkout, so, I got $10.00 off my purchase. My order total came to $10.92! I can't wait to get this!

[Lazario]

20th Century Fox has quite a few other editions they planned to release that are doing the same thing that this edition of Mrs. Doubtfire's doing. I don't remember all of them. But one of them was 28 Days Later. And there are more.

[MadonnasManOne]

jrboy, can you confirm the commentaries that are on this set? I've just read through a thread at DVDTalk.com, where one member, who picked his up at FYE's, said that the director commentary isn't there.

[jrboy]

I wish I could say yes, but no, there are no commentaries included in this set . The only thing on disc one is the movie, deleted/extended/alternate scenes and a trailer for the sandlot 3.

Well, that sucks! Thanks for the information. I'm still excited to get this. I wonder if this is why the set has been delayed?

If they do eventually release this set with commentary, I guess I'll do an exchange. I'm still glad that I am finally getting this great film on DVD. It's one of my all time favorites, and I have been waiting for a decent release of it.

Well, that sucks!

Ditto.

At least now I have reason to hold on to my old copy (it's got the Christopher Columbus commentary, dry as it is).

What sucks more is that in the specs I read, there was originally supposed to be a Robin Williams & Marsha Garces Williams commentary as well.

Just FYI, FYE.com now lists this on back order. I'm glad that I got in on this! I got my copy, and am very pleased with it.

[Matt]

so u can only order this from FYE? this stinks!
I really love this movie!

[Escapay]

If you search in your local FYE's or Sam Goody's (or any other store under their chain), they may still have a few copies. I saw some still at two of the malls in NJ before I went to WDW.

Anyway, I compiled a runtimes listing for the bonus features. The Deleted Scenes have two names. The first (in all caps) is what the scene is called, while the second (in regular) is what I originally called it. For the Deleted Scenes runtime, the parentheses is what I recorded the time as from the old DVD (where they all played together without a scene index or chapter stops), except for a few scenes that are new to the DVD and not from the old DVD.
