Mulan 2-Disc announced for October
From DVDFile:
Just in from Buena Vista Home Entertainment is the announcement of a first-ever DVD release (??? - Loomis) for Disney's 1998 animated smash Mulan. Streeting on October 26th, the studio will heavily market the title along with their upcoming Platinum Edition of Aladdin. While bonus features have not yet been announced, this two-disc set will feature a remastered anamorphic widescreen transfer, Dolby Digital 5.1 surround track, bonus featurettes, games and more to come. Retail will be $29.95, and stay tuned for the full details in the coming weeks.
I found it very odd that they said "first ever DVD" when there was a barebones out only a few years ago. Anyhoo, could be good news!

I wonder if it will be a Masterpiece Edition? I am not a huge fan of "Mulan," but I did like it and would definatley buy this 2-disc set. I am not at all excited about the two sequels coming out, and if "Mulan 2" is a 2-disc set like "Lion King 1.5," I am going to get really upset becuase there are so many other great movies that deserve a 2nd disc. Did the film of "Lion King 1.5" take up so much room on the disc that they couldn't fit the making of and games? I figure that if Disney can cram so much stuff onto the single disc of "The Haunted Mansion," than they probably could have made LK1.5 one disc. The second disc seemes like a waste of plastic to me.
I'm currently watching and reviewing every Disney film in chronological order. You can follow along at my blog, The Disney Films, and also follow me on Twitter.

Whoa, I think it's coming out too quick. They need to wait so they can get some really good bonus features, so will this be a "Plantinum Edition" also?Loomis wrote:From DVDFile:

My sentiments exactly, Jack. I was not fortunate enough to pick this up the first time, so the chance to own ANY edition of it is good enough for me. Any bonus features are just gravy.Jack wrote:If this is true, its simply fantastic news. Even if the 2-Disc ends up being underwhelming, its great to have a chance at owning Mulan after its been OOP. Here's hoping that Hercules isn't far off either.
However, being a vegetarian I should have a problem with gravy. I should also have a problem with "barebones" releases, because it means someone ate the meat. Hmm....
I would say at the very least there will be some cross-promotion for the new movie(s), given they are meant to be having an Octoberish release.

I also own the original Limited Issue edition, but since I'm a sucker for bonus features and better transfers, this is a must-buy.
Anyway, now that it was said here that they may be mixing up the films (Mulan and Mulan 2), it comes to my mind that "Mulan 2" is advertised as a "special edition" in the sneak peak sections of the DVDs. Hmm, "first time ever on DVD"?

I agree completely also, I didn't get the other editions, and am highly looking foward to this one! It's great I can get Mulan and Mulan 2!Loomis wrote:My sentiments exactly, Jack.

A bit strange that this comes out before editions that have gotten far more fanfare (i.e. Pocahontas and Lilo), but awesome news none the less. Mulan is one of those films that really grew on me with repeated viewings, and though I already own the Gold Classic disc, I'm definitely picking this up. The best part is it comes out 2 days after my birthday, so I think we can all guess where my birthday money's going to.
Here's hoping we see Hunchback and/or Hercules some time next year.

It's weird... It keeps appearing and disappearingLuke wrote:I don't see this at DVDFile.
Is it possible that somehow DVDFile got Mulan 2-Disc out of "Mulan 2"?

I'm really really hope this is true.
I don't own Mulan on DVD but own it on VHS.
I really looking foward to purchase this DVD of Mulan.
It could be possible it got mix up with Mulan 2.
I hope that's not the case.
