I ordered the Rescuers Collection called Daring Explorers (here's a link) and I was wondering, are these two keepcases in a cardboard package, or two discs in a single keepcase? I hope it's the former, cause it'll look prettier in my collection. Does anyone have this collection?

[sambadude]

I remember seeing it at Target once. It's just 2 disc in a single case unfortunately. It came out before Australia started getting everything with a slipcase like the States.

Too bad. I cancelled it because of that. I really wanted two seperate cases. I'll just order them seperately somewhere. Thanks for your answer

I was browsing local Safeway supermarket today, and was surprised to notice Walt Disney's Fables Volumes 1 - 5 were available on DVD.

Has anyone noticed any other exclusives around lately?

[sambadude]

I wonder if Aladdin will get delayed again. Does anyone know if it's actually meant to be the film or is it something else? The term musical masterpiece before it confuses me.

[yukitora]

It is the film plus assorted musical bonus features, such as sheet music and digital songs.

I may pick this up since I missed the Platinum Edition and I dislike Aladdin enough to not want to watch the bonus features

[Loomis]

To be honest, I think I'm more interested in seeing Sin City in hi-def than almost anything else on that list...

[Tony]

Does anyone know when Bolt is being released in Australia?

I think I will need to get from Amazon if there isn't an announcement soon.

[sambadude]

1st July mate, which is a ridiculously long time to wait! There is a ad for it on the DVD insert of HSM3, which as far as I'm aware is the first word of an Oz release so there you go folks!

Thanks for the info!

It is almost like BVHE are begging people to import the movie. Six months since the movie was released in cinemas is too long! Oh well, Amazon it is then!

Disney have really milked the Air Bud series to death.

If you knew how many copies my store alone had sold of Snow Buddies this week you'd understand why they keep doing them. Stupidly popular for no real reason. In the first few days it easily outsold HSM3.

[yukitora]

OMG IS THAT THE COLLECTORS DVD + BOOK EDITION?!

[Loomis]

OMG IS THAT THE COLLECTORS DVD + BOOK EDITION?!

It would be very cool if it was like the Snow White/Jungle Book etc editions. However, after the 3-Disc Blu-ray and the 2-Disc SE released earlier this year, it seems a little odd. Plus, I always question why they release the DVDs in better boxes than Blu-rays if they are trying to promote the latter? Go figure, I guess...
