The Roadshow is already on dvd, the 124 minutes version is the Roadshow version.dvdjunkie wrote:Let's hope that they take care of the horrible editing problem with "Fantasia". If they continue to release it the way it was in the box set, it will look horrendous in that blown up scenes that they did on the standard DVD.
I hope that Disney gives us the Road Show production, complete with the Overture, and the Exit music. I remember seeing this in the theater and with all of the glitz of a premier showing, the Overture and Exit music was amazing.
I am looking forward to "Fantasia" and will definitely get the Blu-Ray if they fis those edits that were so poorly done in the general release on DVD.
). Annnnyway I bought it on VHS for 50p in a charity shop a few weeks back and only got round to watching it yesturday, and I was amazed at how visually stunning it was. It's certainly a masterpiece! I will probably own all the other Classics by the time I get these next Spring so apart from The Princess and the Frog which will likely be released on DVD/Blu-Ray late 2010 as least in the UK (can't wait for this film ) they will be the last DAC I need to collect. So yes I'm very excited for these to return from the Vault

What exactly are Arabs supposed to look like? Go back and watch the film. Aladdin and Jasmine have the same tan skin, black hair and brown eyes as EVERYBODY else in the movie; It's not like they're pale with blue eyes, so how are they "whiter" than anyone else in the movie? Just because they're attractive? Is Aladdin supposed to have a beard and thick body hair? Does Jasmine need to have a hooknose and unibrow? Technically Arabs are classified as caucasians anyway, so I don't see the big deal.Goliath wrote:South Park is honest in that it portrays *everybody* equally bad.Neal wrote:Generally Arabs are portrayed much worse than Catholics - but it depends upon the show. South Park puts Catholics and Arabs on the same level!
You think it's the last group? What about Arabs? Have you been to the movies lately? Which movie has been so offensive to Catholics as it has been to Arabs?BelleGirl wrote:No, I just think it's the last group 'we' 'find it acceptable' to ridicule/stereotype and think nothing else of it. Nothing more, nothing less.
They're supposed to be Arabs. But they don't look like it.BelleGirl wrote:And even though you say that Aladdin and Jasmine are white, they are supposed to be Arabs, right? How else could Jasmine be daughter of a Sultan

What do you mean exactly? Do you mean the explanation of the need for the smoking scenes are not on the Dutch version of the Pinocchio DVD? Or do you mean the smoking scenes themselves are not on the Dutch version? Because I've seen the film on Dutch DVD, and the smoking scenes are on it.KubrickFan wrote:On the new Pinocchio dvd/blu-ray they explained the need of the smoking scenes (somehow these aren't there in at least the Dutch version, some other countries as well).
No, Aladdin and Jasmine don't have the same tan skin as the villains and goons in the film. Aladdin and Jasmine are *white*. Maybe you have to go back and watch the film, because obviously, you don't remember much from it. Aladdin and Jasmine are portrayed as American teenagers, both physically and with regard to their mindset. They aren't Arab in any way. Now, I know this is true for most of Disney's heroes, since the fims are primarily made for an American/Western audience. But that doesn't mean it's not true in Aladdin.Dr.Mirakle32 wrote:What exactly are Arabs supposed to look like? Go back and watch the film.
