There's a Spanish language track, but unless you speak Spanish or want to learn it via the magic of Disney, then you're correct in saying that there's nothing of any merit on the disc.

Thanks, it seems like such a pointless release.
Sword in the Stone I'll double dip on, Sleeping Beauty I'm not sure about yet.
Also the whole Blu-Ray thing is causing me a lot of misery at the moment. I know it's fantastic but having spent so long (and so much) upgrading from VHS to DVD I think I'm going to just completely pass on Blu-Ray. I'm happy enough with DVD as a format and I just cannot justify starting all over again. Anyway let's face it by the time you've upgraded your whole collection to Blu-Ray there'll probably be a newer, better format. Technology is wonderful but staying on top of it is an expensive pastime.

I have to say that I agree completely!!! I'm not starting over again until there is a sufficient progression in home entertainment technology, DVD is fine, and if I get a blu-ray player, i'll buy new blu rays, not replace old dvds.
Also, does anyone know if they'll be doing the big "book" collector's editions for Sleeping Beauty like they did for Jungle Book and 101 Dalmatians? I love those sets!

Something similar to the
101 Dalmatians and
The Jungle Book sets is supposedly coming out in Australia (or a thread said that), so there may be a collector's set coming out over in the UK and Ireland. Not sure if they'll do a Blu-Ray and Book set, though.

It's coming to Germany (like the Collector-Sets of 101 Dalmatians and the Jungle Book, too) so I guess it will also come to the UK.

Wow, that looks great. I told myself that I wouldn't be tricked into buying the same film twice but... argh, I hate Disney!

That or Blu-Ray...hmm...I suppose I could buy both and sell the DVD, I'd probably get the same price

Silly, keep the DVD book version,
Give the actual DVD to some under privileged friend,
then keep your BluRay in the book!
Then its win win. A lovely book with the lovely BluRay inside.
That's certainly what i'll be doing.
Lovely

True Yamiiguy
But mine involves trickery and giving to the needy.
Like Madonna, but with Disney DVDs

Monster's Inc. has been rated for 2008 as well, could Monster's Inc. be released along side Wall-E while Finding Nemo is released before then?

True, they're only trailers but I'd find it a bit strange if it was a trailer for nothing

awesome, that'll look sweet next to Snow White, Jungle Book and 101 Dalmatians.
So glad I got Snow White, waaay back when it came out. It's rare now.
I'm loving the wave of UK box sets recently. Jungle Book wasn't as great, because the book was lame and the dvd below par, but 101 Dalmatians came close to Snow White. I expect Sleeping Beauty to be as good as Snow White.

The UK blu-ray will also feature a bonus disc featuring a standard DVD copy of the film.
See HMV for listing:
http://hmv.com/hmvweb/displayProductDet ... alFeatures
Only £15.99 at the moment
Also Play is offering exclusive pop up packaging for the DVD.

It looks truly crap however:

Somebody put effort into designing that. He/she wanted to make people happy. Think about that if you will.

The Pop-Up makes me sad.
