I don't understand the complaints about the disc art. Many Disney dvd's to date have had a silvery face with no picture or color. I look at its monotone style as classy, not cheap. It reminds me of the cover art of the upcoming Witch Mountain reissues.

Besides, even if the lack of color is a savings of money for Disney, isn't that a good thing to save money on at the detriment to no one? The disc art is not visible to a purchaser, and it serves no real purpose but to mimic the cover art. The disc, tucked inside its case and hidden from view 99.9% of the time, only needs to be practical, not artistic, that's what the cover art is for.

Well maybe Disney read all those posts of UD members making fun of Disney listing "full coloured disc art" as a bonus feature and decided to retaliate.

I went to Walmart yesterday and the movie they had for $14.97 was stupid Space Buddies. O&C was regular $19.96 price.

I noticed there was little publicity on Disney Channel for this movie. The "Really short report" has only done SPACE BUDDIES, but not the real disney film.

I'll be doing what I planned -- using my BB $5 Reward Certificate to buy it.

Does this one even come out in Europe? Cause I haven't seen it in stores yet.

I tried to win a free copy in a captions contes(a very entertaining one at that) but did not make the top five. Maybe I'll just buy it. Haven't seen the movie since I was little, and probably watched it almost as much as the Lionking, BatB, and Aladdin, so this would still be worth it for me.

I dont think the disc art was as bad as the title design...

They should've gone with the original film title logo...this one doesn't carry any of the pizazz or style of the actual film itself.

if you have Disney Movie Rewards and buy this movie before the 24th is over and enter the DMR code, you get 200 points instead of the usual 100. Glad I bought the movie. I'll probably watch my copy this weekend.

The film has a runtime of 73 minutes... (according to this site and a few others)
But recently I came across a version that was only 60 mins (and 19 seconds)
Anybody know what this 60 minute version is from ?

I'm sorry to repeat the question, but does anybody know?

Woohoo! Thanks!

Yay I just got my copy today along with Mary Poppins I haven't seen either in years so I'm really looking forward to watching them

Hey, where have you seen this information?

Cause today is March 5th, I'm from Portugal, and there's no sign of Oliver and Company SE yet..

I'm afraid it won't come out in Europe after all.

Pinocchio is already on the shelves, and no sign of Oliver. Of course I could get the old 'regular' edition and then miss out on any additional special features (how few they may be...). Or I could order the American dvd online, but then I wouldn't be able to watch the film with the Dutch dub I grew up on. Of course I prefer the original, and nobody can come close to (let alone, replace) Billy Joel as Dodger, but from time to time I would like to be able to watch Frits Lambrechts giving his voice to Dodger:

Oliver and Company: Why should I worry? [Dutch]

I hate it when Disney does this. We already have to miss the 2-disc version of Pocahontas and most of the Treasures.

I finally watched my DVD of O&C. I couldn't believe it: Joey Lawrence was the voice of Oliver?!?!? (well, the movie is 20 years old......) I recognized Natalie Gregory (after I saw it was her as the voice of Jenny, I knew I recognized that name. She was in an Alice in the Wonderland mini series that was on tv in the 1980s) I recognized Fagin right away.........

Wow, it brought back memories....... "My name is Francis, not Frank or Frankie..." I got a Francis the Bulldog finger puppet in a kids meal when the movie first came out. Its still around somewhere.....I think

I think one of my nephews might enjoy this movie, so I am taking it with me when I help babysit him Thursday this week.

I just found out that this special edition is planned to get to all european countries from February to June 09.

I watched the movie last weekend, and I finally realized how unique the music is. Isn't this, like, Disney's first animated feature that takes place in a contemporary setting? I can't think of any that came before it.

101 dalmatians had a contemporary setting for when it was released.

Don't forget Jacques from LatT is in that scene too! You gotta love these canine flick references!

"Dumbo" was set in contemporary times, as was "The Rescuers". I guess you could also make the argument that the package features are set in contemporary times... at least parts of them. "Bambi" could be, I guess, but we don't really know enough about the hunters to say.
