The letters "DVD" look different from the ones on mine as well. But do we know there aren't two different (or more) versions depending on pressing or printing (time or place)? Why would those making fakes get everything right except those few letters?

I have compared your scan of disc with my original.

My original has a golden color.

The label you show is exact the same the original has. I cannot compare the colors however. These may differ from my disc.

Your disc belongs to the "The Fantasia anthology : 3-disc collector's edition". This disc is not for individual sale.

The only thing I cannot check is how the print on the disc was been done.

I would say: It is an original disc, if you have got it this in the 3-discset.

It may be that originals could differ. It depends from the factory.

I don't know. Mine (mentioned in the previous post) is also part of the Anthology set.

Mine isn't from the Anthology. That being said, though, I just took a random sampling of my DVDs- all of the ones I looked at have the flat-bottomed "V" in the "Disney DVD" logo.

The only copy of Fantasia 2000 I have is the one that was released as soon as it first went onto video and DVD but I say that the copy you're showing us is a definete fake judging by the disc cover art.

Have you actually played this DVD before and can you point out anything suspicious with the DVD content itself like picture/sound quality, menus, .etc.?

Well, it seems to me that the disc is a "Hong Kong Silver." Meaning it's a bootlegged, pressed disc. The "DVD" in Disney DVD is a completely different font, and the back of the disc doesn't have the same numbering system as the Disney ones do. My final nail in the coffin was trying to copy the disc on my computer without any type of program to take off the macrovision protection. Basically, the DVD copied fine to the HD with no problems whatsoever, meaning that there is no region lockout code on the disc.

It's fake. A super-high quality fake, but a fake. I was bound to get burned sometime, I guess. Now to find a legitimate copy. *rolls eyes*

If you bought it on eBay, Half.com, or Amazon, make sure to contact the seller. If they won't give you a refund, then contact the website itself by filling out a form you'll find on the site for getting your money back for a misrepresented item.

The safest way is to buy the DVDs you want while they're still available.

the disney DVD should differ just because of different factory because it is a logo. therefore i'd say its fake.

are all the stock numbers the same? because my fantasia 2000 from the anthology box set is the exact same number...

can someone post a pic of what their discs look like if they actually bought it from a store when it was still in print because my disc has the same cover art and i bought it just a couple months ago from gamestop

Hi, I'm new to the forum.

I ran a search about this but all the topics that came up seemed to be very old posts. I didn't want to bump something from 2006.

I have been searching on eBay to find an authentic copy of the Snow White Platinum Edition on DVD. I have come across A LOT of different sellers selling this particular one. It is not a Double-Alpha and it has a slipcover. I know that the authentic Snow White was indeed the only Platinum Edition thus far to not have a slipcover due to it being a Double-Alpha case. All the sellers selling this copy have been highly praised by everyone who has purchased them. They have been sold for ridiculous prices ($50-$70) due to the fact that a slipcover is included. Could these just be an extremely rare authentic release or a VERY good bootleg?



Also, after reading other threads in here about how to spot a bootleg, I'm concerned about a copy of Beauty & The Beast: The Enchanted Christmas that I just received off eBay. I'm going to post some pictures of the DVD when I get home from work and maybe you all can be the judge. Maybe, I'm just being paranoid and it is indeed authentic.

Thanks in advance, I look forward to participating in this forum!

The color and contrast on the cover, especially the slipcover really do make it look fake.... and on the slipcover, the text at the bottom is a little cut off! Totally fake if you ask me.... but they did a decent job!

That's a bootleg for sure, albiet a well made one.

One of the best fakes I have seen. You have to be very , very careful when buying Disney DVD's on ebay, as I'm sure you know!

Does it play well?

It's fake. Besides the obvious things like the slipcover and it not being a double case, the bannar is the wrong colour. Snow White's Bannar was platinum, not red.

Thanks so much for the replies everyone. It is mind boggling how much people have actually spent on this copy. I'm so glad I never ended up bidding on it!

Here are pictures that I took of the B&TB The Enchanted Christmas that I won from eBay a few weeks ago. Does it look authentic to all of you? Like I said in the OP, reading all the bootleg threads was making me question it:

I told you it was fake! I knew if anyone could confirm it was or wasn't, it'd be these guys.

Both of them are fake, the corners shouldn't be that well rounded on Beauty, and Snow White's banners shounldn't be red.

Indeed, you were right Joey!
