The box proudly proclaims that "If I Never knew You" is "seamlessly integrated into the original film".

Disc One:
- Original Theatrical Film
- Special Edition Film (with integrated song)

So, Is Pocahontas finally available in an OAR anamorphic transfer? (I.e. enhanced for 16X9 TV’s and windowboxed in its proper 1.66:1 ratio?)

Yes, it's anamorphic 1.66:1 and looks splendid. It's a digital transfer so no grain to be seen, like on the previous release.

Wow... The SE is sooo good...

This is just too good to be true! I can't believe Disney even bothered to animate the reprise of "If I Never Knew You" as well! I was disappointed that it wasn't going to be included as an extra on the DVD, but know I'm soooo happy to know they restored it to its proper place in the movie. It's damn beautiful.

Holy crap, are you serious?! This comes as a HUGE (but very pleasant) surprise to me. Bravo, Disney!

I know! I wasn't expecting this AT ALL, and then it came on. I still can't believe it and I keep checking it, but it's there
It comes up between Pocahontas's line: "I'll always be with you... Forever" and the kiss. It looks like it's always been there and just feels right. It's amazing.

Anyone who has bought "Pocahontas: Special Edition" could tell me how the sound mix is? Did they use the same one from the old release or they created a new one? I ask this because the original mix was rather lackluster (a shame, considering "Pocahontas" has one of Disney's best music scores) and I am kind of disappointing that no Enhanced track has been included on the special edition.

The Special Edition IS included on the French version.

Oups you right, sorry, I didn't look very well !

I can't believe that the reprise of "If I Never Knew you" is in the SE!! Does Pocahontas just sing it or does John Smith sing it with her? Also does Nakoma say "The fighting has stopped because of you.. etc.." ???

The 5.1 mix is the same as on the previous releases.
John Smith and Pocahontas both sing in the reprise. All original dialogue is intact, the added sequences are extra. Nothing has been deleted.

No, I think he just means in terms of the time zone difference...

wait okay so after reading this i am confussed, first people say its coming out in January and now someone is saying its coming out wed or thrus, which is it? Amazon doesnt have anything about the special edition

Maybe it's a Pocahontas SE release for another country (not the U.S., that is)?

Cause if it were being released in the States tomorrow (or anytime within this month for that matter)... it'd be a huge shock, anyway. Practically no word beforehand whatsoever.

I'm not sure I'd complain, though. I've been waiting for this SE for a while. ~.~

ya, I would expect commericals and all that stuff too, wouldnt you

Any talk of Pocahontas coming out this month or year have to do with international releases. The R1 Pocahontas isn't due out till next year (rumor has it for a February release).

next year as in 05 or 06 (since were getting close to 05)

Any news on the reviews for these titles? I can't wait to read them.

By the way, another question regarding the "Pocahontas" DVD: it seems to me that they have recorded an all-new commentary for this DVD. Is it true? I don't think it was really necessary, considering the LD had a pretty good commentary already (and it also had Alan Menken and Stephen Schwatz on it, in addition to Eric Goldberg, Mike Gabriel and James Pentecost).
