LOL WOWOWOW! What is with Disney and the re-release's with just a game?!?!?!?!? COME ON! I bet that is what is going to happen with The Jungle Book II. A Game and slip cover! SOOO PATHETIC!
Disney has gone down hill with DVD releases!

The slipcover looks great but I'm not thrilled with that coupon sticker on it. Reminds me of my copy of the Jungle Book where I ripped it off only to have a piece of Shere Khan missing.

Does the Disney Store have it available for pre-order? They usually do the lithographs with it.

Does this mean that the new DVD is the same as the Gold Collection one, but with a new game?

I guess so.

Well, that settles it. No double-dip for me. Pity too, I wanted a theatrically matted version.

Hang on there...could be light at the end of the tunnel for the Coming soon section

Well.... that one Coming soon of The Secret of the Magic Gourd might be worth buying Sword in the Stone DVD.......I wonder if The secret of the Magic gourd will come directly to DVD or Theaters....??

I just did some research (google) on the Disney's The Secret of the Magic Gourd and here is what I found out..

The Walt Disney Company’s first non-Hollywood movie made more than $1 million at Chinese box offices in its first week. “The Secret of the Magic Gourd”, a mix of live action and CGI animation, is based on a famous Chinese children’s story by the late Chinese children’s writer Zhang Tianyi. It is about a boy who’s troubled by his magical vegetable, which steals from others to please him. Hong Kong special-effects studio Centro Digital Pictures, which worked on “Kill Bill,” made the movie.

I work for a retail store and I already knew about the save $6.00 when you buy any two of those films but we are going to have it where if you buy all 3 you can save $10.00. Also right now our pixar dvds are on sale as are some of our blu-ray dvds (for what little selection we have).

That is a shame, but I am excited about The Secret of the Magic Gourd. When I was a cast member, there was a special Newsreel about it (it's a film Disney made for China, if I'm not mistaken) and I was interested in seeing it.

Back on topic, I'll probably pass on this release since I own the GC version and hopefully Disney will get it right when TSatS comes out on Bluray, hopefully for a 50th Anniversary special edition that is worth the upgrading, but that's asking too much.

so this isnt even widescreen?!?!?! WOW Disney stinks for even false info to the fans! i am really not buying this now lol. However, I do want a slip cover

But that's a DTV! I wanted one of the Animated Classics... (I don't want to start a conversation of ACs Vs. DTVs, yadda, yadda, yadda; it's just that a DTV was not what I was hoping for.)

no restoration? I can't tell with that screenshot....

secret of the magic gourd is not that good..its just DCOM standard.

So can we just clarify exactly what bonus features are on this new edition?

Is the "All About Magic" episode carried over and is it the same length as on the previous DVD?

Is everything carried over from the previous release?

I honestly don't know. brownpuppy was annoyingly cryptic and answered every question except the one concerning bonus features.

Even if "Disneyland" was carried over or not, it doesn't matter to me anymore. It's likely the same open-matte transfer with minimal restoration done and I can live without "Merlin's Magical Academy". My Gold Collection DVD has received a stay of execution for the next 7 years.

Yes, but here in the UK we were cheated out of the Disneyland ep the first time around (As we were with a few bonus features on the UK versions of the GCs). But now BVHE UK seems to make the newer DVDs identical, so it may be worth UKers ditching the old one and rebuying the new one.

Because both titles got THE SHAFT regarding bonus features!

Tons of stuff already "in the can" from the laserdisc FAILED to show up on Hunchback, and Hercules is even more bare.

I've been thinking about getting Huchback as of late because of what happened to Tarzan.

I don't know if I can bring myself to do it but I may.

Herc is one I won't touch yet though...

Off-Topic: I've only got 11 ACs to go and only one is OOP (from what I can tell).

Looks as though the Disneyland episode is included. This website shows a clip of the episode and says it is from a special feature.
