The Jungle Book: Platinum Edition Press Release, Discussion

brotherbear · Post by **brotherbear** » Mon Sep 24, 2007 4:43 pm

So, I suppose to get people excited about Jungle Book's release in a week and one day, Disney has posted a 7 Minute Preview of TJB on the Platinum's official website. This includes the stunning restored video that we will see in a few days, and it spans near the entire movie.

Again, only 8 DAYS until Jungle Book is released!!!

Thanks for the update MadonnasManOne! I've been waiting to see what Best Buy would offer. I have already pre-ordered my copy at Best Buy, and I will be getting it there as well. With the $5 down for the pre-order and the awesome price of $14.99, I will be getting my copy for just $9.99! I have to say though, I am a little disappointed with those plushes, they are kinda weird looking. Especially, King Louie, it looks like he has a mohawk. It doesn't much matter though, I'd be getting Baloo either way. I am so excited for next week, Platinum Edition Tuesday's have become 2 of my favorite days of the year!

Thanks for posting that, MM1! I was hoping Best Buy would give plushes with the movie! And at a great price. I'm kind of sad, though, because I don't think I'll have the money until that Friday, and I'm sure the plushes will be gone by then.

I want a King Louie!!!

Ooh, glad I preordered it there! I hoping to get a King Louie to go with my Flounder from "TLM". I'm totally getting out there after my 10 AM class.

That's awesome to hear about best buy. that means i can get my copy at midnight from wal-mart for $14.96. Thank goodness for price matching!!!

This means I'll probably get mine at Wal-Mart too. I'm incredibly strapped for cash, but I have a giftcard for there thanks to a recent return. If it's 14.99 at Best Buy, it's likely price matching won't even be necessary. Wal-Mart will probably have it at 14.99 too for the first week (anyone know for sure?). I got the Princess Enchanted Tales DVD there for 13.99 the day it came out. Not sure what they have it at now.

I hate to pay the same price and not get the plush toys though, but I have large plushes of those characters so probably wouldn't keep them anyway, but that's not the point! Ha.

I think the one with the mohawk was from Gremlins, ha.

It's not a big deal and not too relevant to the discussion, but I have almost $8 in cash, so I'll only have to use about $8 from my play-money account to buy TJB! YAY!!! I can get it Tuesday if Bobby goes on his lunch break (I'll be at school)...!!!

I'm just excited...carry on!

It is great to see this much excitement about The JungleBook.

There is an interview with Richard Sherman available at the Disney Movie Rewards site. Offers some nice discussion about the music for this film.

I think this is part 1 of a two part series.

Thanks for posting the plushies MadonnasManOne!

For sure I will get the Baloo plushie. I just hope not too many people get there before me because the orange monkey is a big turn off.

Oh and I visited my closest Wal-Mart to see if they had put out the DVDs early, they didn't. I asked them stupidly as if I had no idea it wasn't out yet and they smartly pointed to the sign for me.

OK, the reviewer didn't go over the top but it's clear this is not one of his favorite Disney films.

Why he calls the background animation "trite at best and well below Disney standards" is beyond me. There are times it looks poor and reminisicent of the "The Aristocats" but some scenes are visually incredible.

*Takes a deep breath*
