Try working out a new and unique format to the Segment Galleries (like having all the video featurettes for the segments in Section One, then having Story Reels and Still Galleries make up Section Two, and Audio and Other Extras in Section Three), but if you're still unhappy with it later on, you can use my old one (as I've changed it, theming it more to my (Film Title) In Progress: Behind the Scenes of Animation Archives).

Okay, I'll try that. I will do the still galleries first and the media galleries last.

Here's an improved version of my Fantasia Supreme Masterpiece Edition DVD (AKA the 70th Anniversary Edition to come out in 2010), with as few things copied from Escapay as possible!

Here's what the cover should look like (click here): http://img215.imageshack.us/my.php?imag ... dvdsf1.jpg

So, tell me, what do you think? Escapay, if you're reading this and any of this stuff sounds familiar to you, it's because either these are bonuses from the old 2000 Fantasia Anthology DVD or they're just no-brainers for inclusion on DVD (i.e., trailers, audio commetaries, galleries, etc.). This time, I tried to be as original as possible. So anything you used are only those from the old DVD release of the movie, not the one you thought up that I copied from, but the Fantasia Anthology DVD. Anything you thought up on your own are no longer truly evident. While I did reuse some of your types of bonus ideas, I tried to revise the titles and descriptions as much as possible, so as not to sound too unoriginal. For example, whereas you put:

-Epic Films: A Roadshow Engagement - new featurette about how a movie is presented in Roadshow Engagements. (20 minutes)

I put:

- Why Epic Films Go To the Roadshow: A look at how and why epic or famous films tend to be shown at roadshow engagements, with numerous examples being not only Fantasia, but also others like Gone With the Wind, Bridge On the River Kwai, Ben-Hur and The Sound of Music.

As you can see, while the wording still seem to be alike, mine tends to be more descriptive. I even tried to revise the packaging description a bit.

I have also revised my Snow White PE DVD a bit yet again! It actually is largely the same as usual, but with a few additional bonuses and some different wording, plus a different format: the Snow White Supreme Masterpiece Edition DVD! Also, instead of four discs, there are now FIVE!

What do you think, guys? It's largely the same as what I had before, so please don't get mad at me for it, because this DVD idea here is mine already. My main intention was really to just revise the content to my own wording and also give a different name for the edition.

I decided to revise my current listing of animated features DVDs by rebranding it from Legacy Edition to a brand-new brand: the "Supreme Masterpiece Edition Collection". This is what I'm gonna call the edition set that takes a Platinum Edition DVD and blends it with other Disney DVD sets, like Vault Disney, Walt Disney Legacy Collection and especially Walt Disney Treasures. What do you think of that?

Where is everybody?

Big Disney Fan wrote:Where is everybody?

Working on new Legacy Editions only when they have the time but not really devoting more than an hour or two a week to looking up old and creating new materials and typing it all in longform with descriptions and runtimes?

Not to mention watching the DVDs in order to see if what seems like a good featurette on the current disc should be carried over to the wishful-thinking disc, as well as double-checking to make sure runtimes fit within the disc, that everything is worded and coded properly, and if inspired (which I haven't been for quite awhile), making screen caps just for the hell of it...

There. That's all I needed to see. If you can't come back right away, then I understand. All I really wanted was just a response that wasn't my own, to make sure I wasn't the only still interested in this thread. If you can't create a new DVD idea, that's all right, just create a response. But if you can create a new page, that's wonderful, too.

Big Disney Fan wrote:

TheSequelofDisney wrote: Yes, that might be your rule, but it's not the rule, not that there even is one. Everything on a Disney DVD does not have to be completely Disney. You don't see just a particular studios film with bonus features by that particular studio. Mix things up a bit. On the French "Peter Pan" DVD it has the silent PARAMOUNT version on it, and Paramount certainly isn't Disney. Disney DVDs are banned to just Disney. You don't want a DVD to just to have experiences of Disney, but from the world, that's why DVDs are interesting, that's why I make DVDs, because they are interesting. The bonus features don't have to be pro-Disney, otherwise that takes the fun out of everything. More things from DIFFERENT cultures, studios, religions, everything makes it a worthwhile set. So Disney DVDs aren't limited to just Disney. Did you see my "Sleeping Beauty" set? There were things on there that weren't Disney at all. So there really isn't room for you to complain.

Well, it should be the rule, because I'VE never seen any bonus features on Disney movies that weren't pro-Disney. I want to make them look like real DVDs. That's why the Snow White, Pinocchio and Dumbo DVDs all have pro-Disney stuff. If you go with non-Disney features on a Disney set, you're going to run into all kinds of legal issues the likes of which would be like between Disney and Spielberg over Roger Rabbit. You spoke of cultures, studios, religions and all that, but what about contract negotiations? You could mix up the cultures and religions, but not the studios, unless you negotiated a contract or something. Be grateful few attorneys look at this forum or you'd be the one in hot water. Look, I'm just saying that pro-Disney stuff only is the practical way to go. Plus, the idea of WB toons on a Disney DVD makes my stomach turn. Whoever heard of WB toons on a Disney DVD?

And besides the silent Peter Pan movie by Paramount is technically in the public domain, so I don't think that should count.

Technically not true, as Kino Video holds the distribution rights for 1924's Peter Pan, and has a nice DVD that's been out for almost 8 years, and aside from Disney's French 2-disc CE, the film has not seen any other release by another DVD company (like popular PD-releasing companies Madacy, Platinum, Delta, Alpha Video, GoodTimes, etc.)

Anyways, to contribute a bit to the "Ultimate DVD" aspect of the thread...a little teaser of some more fake-and-wishful-thinking-DVD-material I work on when not doing other things...(and a nice gift for BDF, as I'm sure this is his favorite DAC...)

Incomplete and Shorform Specs for Pinocchio: Five-Disc Legacy Edition, which I started randomly doing at...3 am a few nights ago while reading up on its 1993 laserdisc set and did minimal research on. I didn't change a thing in this copy/paste, so it's got some random notes in there that I never got around to fixing yet along with some standard runtimes I threw in and will likely change later on when I figure out how to properly arrange each disc...

I thought you weren't gonna do a Pinocchio set.

Big Disney Fan wrote:I thought you weren't gonna do a Pinocchio set.

It was always in the cards, just not the near future or in any immediate plans and research until recently.

It's part of Volume Six: Action & Excitement in my fictional (and ever changing number of discs per title) Legacy Series Collection...

Volume Six: Action and Excitement
-Pinocchio
-101 Dalmatians
-The Rescuers
-The Great Mouse Detective
-The Rescuers Down Under
-Atlantis: The Lost Empire
-Treasure Planet
-Walt Disney's Legacy, Volume Six: To Live for Danger - Exclusive Bonus Disc and Documentary

While I was compiling a list of Disney laserdisc supplements (scouring several Disney and laserdisc sites that had reviews, cover scans, etc.), I was a bit intrigued by the Pinocchio set, and originally started writing up a speculative Platinum Edition for it, since much of the supplements for PE's like Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Cinderella were from their Deluxe CAV Laserdisc sets. But a 47-minute doc (that according to dvdlaser's review is more promotional than informative?), a storyboard-to-film comparison, gallery of stills, and trailers didn't seem like much for a Platinum, so I figured I might as well turn that disappointing-looking Platinum specs into a Legacy Series...

What do you think, guys? It's largely the same as what I had before, so please don't get mad at me for it, because this DVD idea here is mine already.

BTW, should the video quality of the film be more like the 2003 SE DVD, the '93 VHS (reused for the only stateside DVD thus far) or should it be more the quality of the theatrical trailer? Click here to view the various release video qualities to see what I mean (http://www.ultimatedisney.com/forum/vie ... =pinocchio) and then tell me what you think.

I don't know what's stranger:

1. The fact I totally forgot Jesse McCartney did a decent cover of "When You Wish Upon A Star" even though I quite enjoy it in moderation...

OR


2. The fact that in all the pages of this thread, there was never any mention of a featurette about Gustaf Tenggren, deleted materials with Mel Blanc, or any passing reference to the laserdisc documentary until I by chance put it in my set, and now they're suddenly (and I guess finally?) making an appearance in the set of someone who's a bigger fan of Pinocchio than I am.

It just boggles the mind!

And I'd probably go for the '93 VHS/'99 DVD color palette, but the sharpness and clean image of the 2003 restoration. If that makes sense. The 2003 restoration just looks a bit too cold and not quite as lived-in or warm as the others.

1 and 2) How about all of the above?

As for the video palette, the 2003 one would make complete sense, if not for the coldness. If only there was a way to combine the 90s quality with 2003 quality somehow. I guess we could make the video quality more like the original 1940 trailer, albeit not quite so faded. The new quality I'm thinking of would combine the sharp colors and more evident detail of the 2003 edition with the warmth of the 90s edition, if that's at all possible and make it more like the quality of the 1940 trailer, because I kinda like that.

SO like I said, my take on the prints for my DVD won't be so faded. The prints will be sharper than the trailer here, but not TOO sharp.

Hey, you might want to take a look at this below: http://www.ultimatedisney.com/forum/vie ... php?t=7711

The Supreme Masterpiece Edition, which is the new name of my proposed DVD release edition type, is actually a combination of many of the better release types. The Supreme Masterpiece Edition DVD is a combination of the following better release types:

1) Platinum Edition
2) Walt Disney Treasure
3) Vault Disney
4) Legacy Collection
5) Collector's Edition (to a lesser extent)

All this adds up to the Supreme Masterpiece Edition. They will also be housed in tins, much like the Walt Disney Treasures, with an image of the poster of the featured movie being displayed on the tin.

BTW, anyone want to hazard a guess how much these sets would cost? I personally would say an absolute MINIMUM of $50!
