Exactly. They need to be more involved and active with their fans. They need to prove to us that they are listening and making changes based directly on what we are saying. Going forward into the future of consumerism, they ought to make a great example of how social a large company can be. I see hints of it in recent projects - they're being VERY active on their Disney Infinity pages, as much as responded to and "liking" individual comments. They just need to take it to the next level.

Disneyboy, I absolutely love what Open Vault Disney is doing. I didn't know it was something one joined, but I did post on the Disney Afternoon day on facebook. While I feel the intent is awesome and the effort being made is even more awesome, I just think that all that effort to get a "thanks for your feedback"... it's not enough. Hopefully Disney picks up on this soon and continues their trend of becoming more involved with their fans.



Aaaannndddd to get back on track, I found this cool Peter Pan image on tumblr, and just thought I'd share it here. Wish they would use stuff more like this for DVD covers. I'm using it as my iPhone background. :)

Also, reviewing the screenshots provided, I'm seeing the softness associated with older 2K Disney restorations (blurry/smudged linework), so no new restoration.
That is indeed what his outfit looks like :P I think your confused a bit because you can't see his dagger carrier?

Two questions:

1.Is content in the US edition the same as the one on the Peter Pan bluray released so far abroad?

2.Has the US released been confirmed region free? I'm asking because blu-ray.com still lists this release as region B untested.


Thanks

I gotta say... I read the review, and the only new bonus feature is the "growing up with the 9 old men", which is pretty substantial.
Buit I dont think its enough for me to want to buy this film again...

Its a yellowish green I guess, maybe a olive? It might look a little bit different in color.

1) The audio mix is different, the restoration is the same with a few colour alterations (nothing major as far as I can tell for the time being).

The new extras are these
Introduction by Diane Disney-Miller (HD): Diane Disney-Miller provides a quick introduction to the film, touching on her father's attraction to adapting J.M. Barrie's tale and the artwork created during the film's development.

Growing Up with Nine Old Men (HD, 41 minutes): The name started as a joke. A term of playful endearment Walt Disney gave to his lead animators. But it soon became a badge of honor for the most legendary and influential animators in Disney history. Hear about the Nine Old Men from those who were closest to them -- their children, now upwards in years themselves -- and learn about the artists' contributions and work, both personal and professional.

Deleted Songs and Scenes (HD, 15 minutes): Unearthed from the Disney Vault, two deleted scenes and two deleted songs, presented via original storyboards, concept art, rough cel elements and key frames: "The Journey Home," "Alternate Arrival," "Never Smile at a Crocodile" and "The Boatswain Song."

Disney Intermission (HD): Pausing at any point during the film allows younger viewers to tackle "Pirate Training," a series of tips, mini-activities and video clips helmed by the first mate of the Jolly Roger.

Peter Pan Sing-Along (HD): An optional Sing-Along track, easily engaged or skipped when selecting the "Play" option in the main menu. It's a simple subtitle feature, though. No karaoke-style guide marker or highlighting.

DisneyView Side Bars (HD): Fill the black bars to either side of the image with artwork from Walt Disney background painter Cristy Maltese (The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin).
Don't know about the UK version but the Greek version also misses the
Audio Commentary: Roy Disney hosts this extensive audio commentary, taken from the film's previous DVD release. Disney dryly reads from preprepared notes, but the interview excerpts and commentary bits featured over the course of the commentary allow the film's animators, voice actors and filmmakers to offer their insight as well. Smartly compiled and edited, the track touches on every aspect of Peter Pan, without wasting a single second.
You also get a
  • - nice slip-cover with brand new artwork
    - a digital copy
    - a DVD of the film
    - animated menus

2) Most of Disney's releases are region-free these days. I have ordered it without even worrying about it.

Thank you. That means the European releases are missing a lot in terms of bonus features...

I know about most releases being region free as I buy them from Amazon US but I have yet to see this release confirmed as being region free.

You can almost bet on it, I haven't seen a region A locked blu-ray released unless it was a re-release in 2 years. I think you'll be safe.

Ok...so today I was watching a re-run of Law and Order SVU. For those who don't know the show, its about police investigation of crimes usually sexual in nature.
During one of the commercial breaks, the announcer says "Law and Order SVU, brought to you by the Disney Classic, Peter Pan", while they showed scenes from the movie. THis was followed by a tv spot for the upcoming blu ray.

IS THIS A REALLY ODD PAIRING???? Bordering on distasteful??!???!?!

They did that?

That's... strange. You'd think they'd couple it with a more family oriented show like 'Once Upon A Time' or 'Modern Family'. Both of which are on ABC.

On Chanel 5 in the UK when they show Disney or family movies, either the new Disney cinematic release or Blu gets the 'brought to you by' .... nothing like Law and Order ! How do they even connect the two ?!

Yup... they did. I found it odd too.

I remember way back, when Cinderella PLATINUM was about to be released, ESPN had a VERY cool trailer for it... but really? Sports channel promoting CInderella???

Yes there was... whch was completely out of place.

And still makes advertising on ESPN VERY peculiar... and the trailer was just scenes of Cinderella with music over them... no talking, not even mentioning the ESPN-related feature

That Cinderella sports story was the most ridiculous waste of dvd disc space in the history of the medium.

:lol:

Why yes, this is incredibly true ... was this the first sign of Disney desperately trying to market a 'Princess' movie as unisex? Or simply just to get Dad's to be aware the DVD was being released ....

Anyone got an advance copy and would be kind enough to share the TLM trailer with us? I really want to see it. I know it's not gonna show the new restoration yet, but still.
