And in May here in Brazil.
I hope the movie is in widescreen... Some extras wouldn't hurt. And no, I'm not talking about games. Maybe an archival making of and the first episode of the series.

Actulally I'm not sure if it was even filmed in widescreen. On the VHS tape that I got a while back it DOES NOT say "This film has been formatted from its original version. It has been formatted to fit your TV," and especially considering that this is based on Disney TV staple I wouldn't be suprised if the actulal correct ratio IS 1.33:1 and it was cropped during its brief theatrical run.

Anyway, this is a fun movie and I hope we get a DVD stateside soon.

Good find, Mr Net.
I'm not sure if DisneyToons/DTVs of that era were animated in a widescreen ration. Mind you, it was theatrically released, wasn't it? The OAR might have been 1.33:1. I don't think it would be too fact off the actual ratio though, would it?

Really looking forward to this in any form. Used to love that show, and have been keen to see the film again for a while...

Yes, Filmifriikki.fi is Finnish and it is the Finnish cover they're showing, but it is going to be the exact same release as in Sweden. Same languages, same aspect ratio and all.

And there seems to be something extra on it anyhow!
A game - which they think is not innovative or exciting at all!

Pretty cool that it's anamorphic widescreen. Hopefully, when it's released here (hopefully this year), we'll get the same treatment. Some more extras would be nice, too.

What? No 5.1 mix?
Oh, well, at least we are getting the movie in its original aspect ratio. Unfortunatelly, it seems that the movie isn't in a very good shape. Well, I'm glad to have it anyway! I haven't seen this movie for ages, and I love it!

Now I have the DVD in my hands.
The aspect ratio is indeed 1.66:1, but there is only a 2.0 sound mix.
The game was indeed very unexiting. For the very very small ones maybe... :wink:
No other extras and no inlay in the box.
A cheap barebones with other words.
But fun to have the film in Widescreeen in the end.
Have only had it on ordinary video cassette and in pan-and-scan before.

Thanks!

All it´s pretty basic I think. Nothing to scream HURRAH for!
The sound is good, but not excellent. (I have only viewed the swedish version yet, but the original version is in the same Dolby mix, so I don´t think it´s much better than the swedish one.)
The picture is a little bit grainy in some parts.
I hardly think they had done anything with the picture quality for this release.
The menus are also pretty basic.
The beginning of the main menu is animated, scenes from the film which turns over to a animated picture of the treasure they found in the cave, with the lamp jumping around in it.
Not much, but OK for this little film - I really had no special whising and hopes for this release - just glad that they finally released it to DVD.
I also think the film has not stand the time so very well.
It feels outdated in some way.
:cry:

Thank you Chernabog!
I'm still looking forward to this released. I don't have the VHS and I remember that I really liked it the times I saw. Besides, this is the first directing work of the Brizzi brothers at Disney.
