I didn't forget it. I purposely didn't include it on the list since it likely has no chance at all of appearing on any new edition of the movie. It is, after all, a "sneak peek" of a film that ultimately was canceled.Uncle Remus wrote:Don't forget about the "sneak peek" trailer for Dumbo II that was included with the 60th Anniversary Edition DVD:

The cover art has to look modern to appeal to contemporary audiences. I think it's a bad trend, but unfortunately that's the case. Since classic movies are already not doing to well on Blu-ray (although Disney doesn't have to complain) they need all the help they can get. Too bad, some of the original poster art is amazing, and it's unfortunate that that gets replaced just to make it more 'modern'.mvd24 wrote:To me this looks more like an add for the "Dumbo the flying elephant"-ride at Disneyland.
I don't understand why cover art nowadays has to look so different from the look of the actual movie.
You shouldn't use screenshots to judge the picture quality of a movie. You don't know how they were made, and even if you do they're wrong most of the time.ajmrowland wrote:I'm a tad skeptical about the screens.
Dang, that's a shame! I love Deja and Pete Docter, but still! I think that Canemaker's commentary has to be one of the best solo tracks I have ever heard.... Although I can't watch it when tired, he has such a soothing voice!Disneykid wrote:

Tell me about it. It seems like every studio could just use original poster art, which in most cases is better then the cheap crap they whip up for the DVD's, and they could save money. These new cover arts just don't seem to represent the films very well but I guess the bright colors help attract buyers. It just seems like they spend so much time and money on the marketing teams, to create the original posters that initially attract movie goers, and then just discard the wonderful art they spent so much time creating. At least they include them in art galleries on the discs most of the time.KubrickFan wrote:The cover art has to look modern to appeal to contemporary audiences.

I agree, looks great. They have to be legit as they look soo much better then the last DVD and trailer (just ignore the cropped aspect ratio they did on these "photos"). Disney certainly does good on their restorations. Blu-ray may finally get these old non-platinum classics the restorations they deserve. Now I'm really excited to see Fantasia's restoration (please be unedited). I only hope Song of the South has at least been looked at as it may be deteriorated by the time they finally decide to pull it out and give it some love.Old Fish Tale wrote:I found these
If they're screencaps, 'Dumbo' looks as good as 'Pinocchio'!
Cool, a feature on the Dumbo attraction. I always thought it was neat that they had a feature on the Sleeping Beauty attraction and was disappointed neither Snow White or Pinocchio had one of their attractions.Disneykid wrote:Well, matching up the English translation from Google with what we know from the BBFC...

So it seems like the Canemaker commentary has been dropped in favor of a new one that will implement CineExplore on the BD. On the positive side, the Walt Disney TV Introduction made it, after all, and there seems to be an additional feature on the Disneyland attraction. Whether or not that's what "Rites of Passage" is (which is on the BBFC site but not on the French list) remains to be seen. I doubt it, though, because 2 minutes and 59 seconds seems awfully brief for a feature on such a beloved attraction.
