I'm curious- the picture of the Ratatouille and Pixar Shorts double pack says that it's a 3-disc set. What will be on the third disc, since both "Ratatouille" and "Pixar Short Films" are one-disc DVDs?

I wouldn't be too upset. Based on the Play listing and the BBFC listings, it won't exactly be 2 discs packed to the brim with features.
Most of my Blu-ray collection some of my UK discs aren't on their database

Well i wouldn't get too upset just yet, it's possible that disc 2 will just have the stuff from the Target disc.

I hope not. The Jungle Book book sucked majorly. It was perhaps the worst book ever.

Why are ppl so negative when it comes to this Gift Set? The UK should feel priveleged to get this! The UK had the best Junglebook release in the world...

I hope we see a 101 Dalmatians Gift set! I'm buying! :D

I'd much prefer an actual Gift Set, like the days of Aladdin & Lion King, with a lovely book, a lovely animation cel & lovely hand drawn lithographs all together in a lovely box.

None of this poor dear sad old 'DVD with book' "Gift Set" business.

Gift Set bugger!

The Jungle Book "Gift Set" made me yawn openly.
Hardly worth me importing at all.
Worth it for the good yawn, maybe.

Just thinking about it makes me sleepy.

Lets hope the 101 Dalmations "Gift Set" is an actual gifted set like the good old days.
" And All The Powers Of Hell! "

Well whatever the packaging, the film will be widescreen, according to the BBFC.

ONE HUNDRED AND ONE DALMATIANS Video Feature
Widescreen, Run Time 76m 28s

But the "old" gift sets were never released here I believe so the Jungle Book DVD was one of the best packages we've ever gotten

Jungle Book, best my rear. If Disney really wanted to do something special they would have recreated a package like the Snow White deluxe gift set. Heck even the Fantasia VHS collector's set is in a different class to the JB "set".

It definitely not the best but I'd say it's in the top 10 in terms of packaging, Snow White is the best for sure

At least this time play confirms it will be a "picture" book.

I was pretty happy with the JB gift set. So I'll get this too.

I hope a Blu-Ray Deluxe Sleeping Beauty set is in the works as well :)
