I meant the people who use Youtube are probaly waiting for a HQ Rip.
Personaly I liked the style, bet'ter then Wish Upon A Star (2009) and I believe it stays respectful to the song itself by not interludin dance sections or such. And apparently this song won't appear on DM 7 instead Tiff will be recordin If I never knew you (Pocahontas)

Cool, thanks a bunch. The disc art is pretty hoss from what I can tell. Can't wait until October 6th. That is going to be a great week and the weekend is going to be even better!
To express my feelings on that music video, I shall quote my good friend Piglet of the Hundred Acre Wood:
"Oh d-d-d-dear!"
Oh d-d-d-ear indeed !!! I'm with you on that what an atrocious mess up of a great song - if we have to have a modern pop starlet ruining every great Disney movie song why not have a Barbara Cook or Liza Minnelli kind of singer for the benefit of older viewer included too ?
Barbra Streisand got very bad press ( there were many anti Streisand thoughts posted on DVD Talk website ) for her rendition of Someday My Prince Will Come on the original Platinum edition DVD but it was a real classic at the side of this debacle!!
To Make Doubly Sure Bring Back Her Heart In This!!

Well, the answer is simply that the music video isn't for the adult fans. The music video's and games weren't put on the disc for the adult fans at all. They "balance" it all out by having content that appeals to younger fans and older fans. The documentaries, photos, original trailers, and anything historically aimed is for us. I'm not defending the disney channel stars pop-renditions of these songs, but I know why they are there.
It overall would be nice to have these music videos combined with past videos on all these releases, instead of only receiving the new ones. Even the older ones would appeal to a younger audience IMO, but I think disney gets a lot of good credit by younger audiences by doing the new versions.
I agree I think having more classic artist really gave the songs a feeling of being special too. I guess you gotta realize Disney is all about promotion though, and they wanna push these pop stars they created so ...
Either way it doesn't bother me, although I would have prefered someone more established like Whitney ect doing these song

The features below from the 2001 DVD still haven't been classified, yet. I'm sure most of these will appear as they're too substantial to leave off, but let's see what happens (I'm not including things we know won't make it like the Lansbury tours, Streisand video, or text features):
- "Some Day My Prince Will Come" (Fantasy Version) (4:25)
- The Forest Chase Storyboard-to-Film Comparison (3:03)

- Disneyland: The Story of the Silly Symphony - The Multiplane Camera (1:36)

- Mickey Mouse Theatre of the Air - January 9, 1938 (28:35)
- 1958 Radio Spots (1:39)
- 1967 Radio Spots (3:13)
So far this release is sounding mighty impressive, even with the above features still in limbo. The Snow White DVD really pushed the DVD experience, and it's obvious that the Blu-ray will do the same for its format. Let's see how long these Diamond Editions continue the quality before they become haphazard and generic.

Kelvin, is all of what you just posted all-new for the new Blu-ray (besides the galleries, I guess, and Disney Through the Decades (besides the "A New Century" part)?
I went back and highlighted the new features in red to make the distinctions clear. Most of the stuff in the Hyperion Studios Tour is new, which leads me to believe that they can be branched together to form a long documentary should you not want to access them via an index or on the virtual Hyperion tour. In other words, it seems this new Snow White release is patterned similarly to Aladdin's DVD - various ways to view the bonus material.
