Pete's Dragon in-store bonuses?
Does anyone happen to know if there will be any in-store bonuses next week for Pete's Dragon's DVD release? Anything at Walmart, TRU, Future Shop, etc?

Best Price I've seen for "Pete's Dragon" is Target - $12.99. Best Buy is offering five dollars off total price if you purchase "Hannah Montana The Movie" and "Pete's Dragon" ($19.99) on the same ticket.
Best thing I can think of, is get the Blu-Ray of Hannah Montana, which comes with a DVD and Digital Copy Disc for only $22.99, then have them price match "Pete's Dragon" for $12.99. That's what I am gonna do!!!!

So I'd have to buy Hannah Bananarama to get Pete's Dragon for a lower price? I'd rather spend the extra $$ on PD than even bother buying Hannah.dvdjunkie wrote:Best Price I've seen for "Pete's Dragon" is Target - $12.99.

Are you sure Pete's Dragon is 12.99.. even checking on target.com and viewing the ad for Kansas it still read 17.99dvdjunkie wrote:Best Price I've seen for "Pete's Dragon" is Target - $12.99.

You want information on "Pete's Dragon", well, here are the specifics about the extras on the all-new 'High Flying Edition" of "Pete's Dragon":
SPECS:
Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound * Widescreen (1.66:1)--Enhanced for 16x9 TVs. This was the first Disney film recorded in the Dolby Stereo sound system. The clarity and color of the image of the DVD are excellent; sound is good too, but nothing that will really blow your speakers away. Running time of approximately 129 minutes, which is just about 5 minutes short of the original roadshow version.
BONUS FEATURES:
Sneak Peeks: Snow White on Blu-ray, The Prince & The Frog (theatrical), Disney Blu-ray, Hannah Montana the Movie, Up, D23, Earth, and Tinkerbell: The Lost Treasure.
Brazzle Dazzle Effects (25:23): Narrated by Sean Marshall (Pete) who is heard present day, but never seen! Sean takes us on a journey telling the history of live-action/animation in Disney films, beginning the Alice Comedies. Virginia Davis (Alice) recalls pantomiming to invisible animals. "Children love to pretend. I loved to pretend, too." Disney thought that by putting a live girl in an animated setting he could get a leg-up on the competition. Ub Iwerks joined the Disney team early, left, and then returned in the 1940's. Many of the special effect processes that have made Disney film magic possible were a result of his genius. "The Three Caballeros" was a milestone in 1945 in combining color live-action film with animation. Using rear-screen projection and special process-lab effects, Iwerks helped the film accomplish many things never seen before. The real jump came in 1959 with "Ten Who Dared," a film that used the Sodium Vapor Process Screen. Using yellow lights/filters, filmmakers were able to block out backgrounds that made it easier to combine the animation. Without this process, "The Parent Trap" and "Mary Poppins" would never have been possible. Marshall recalls filming "Pete's Dragon" in the summer of 1976. He loved the entire process: special effects, acting, dancing, makeup. "The only thing I didn't like was the fame!" He recalls Red Buttons and Mickey Rooney attempting to upstage each other, and how choreographer Onna White's instruction helped prepare him to be a college pole-vaulter. In this featurette, you will see the original live-action film and learn how it was combined with the animation. Very interesting to watch documentary.
Deleted Storyboard Sequence: "Terminus & Hoagy Hunt Elliott" (2:25)--Nothing really missed here!
Original Song Concept: "Boo Bop BopBop Bop (I Love You Too)" (2:35): Very pop-sounding; almost a little out of place. Not missed from the storyline, it featured both Pete & Elliott.
Original Demo Recordings (all from February 11, 1976):
Brazzle Dazzle Day: Alternate song, first attempt. The song was liked by re-written.
Every Little Piece: Alternate melody. Thought to be too somber, the lyrics were kept, but the melody was rewritten.
The Greatest Star of All: Deleted song for a deleted character. Artist Ken Anderson thought 2 villains were not needed, so both song and character were cut.
Promotional Record:
Pop versions of songs from the movie released on a 7" Vista record are presented here: It's Not Easy, Brazzle Dazzle Day, There's Room For Everyone, Candle on the Water.
Art Galleries: Concept Art, Behind-the-scenes, and publicity galleries. Varying quality, but still very cool to see, especially the behind-the-scenes shots.
Trailers: International & Theatrical Trailers
"About Pete's Dragon": 5 screens with production notes about the movie.
"Disney Family Album" (excerpt, 2:20): About artist Ken Anderson. He describes how he based Elliott on Wallace Beery - large, bumbling, but loveable. He also is seen at the Disney ranch, which he describes as his Laughing Place.
"The Plausible Impossible" (excerpt, 3:36): From the Disneyland TV show, October 31, 1956. Shows the Disney Art of Animation book, with chapter 5 about the Plausible Impossible--using animation to make the unreal look real. Clips from Fantasia shown.
"Lighthouse Keeping" (1956, 6:45): Donald Duck cartoon
Includes a game for the very young, where you must find Elliott.
Overall, a really great DVD with enjoyable extras.

I'm sure that's because they are matching Target's price on it (which I wish they would do on the Golden Girls sets, since my store only had seasons 2 and 7 when I looked.) Their pre-order price guarentee does work and I have been refunded money because of it before...but they will give it to you if the price decreases before the release date. They aren't responsible for prices that change after the product streets.

If you're looking for The Golden Girls sets, try Costco if you have one near you, they are $8.99 there too.Jake Lipson wrote:I'm sure that's because they are matching Target's price on it (which I wish they would do on the Golden Girls sets, since my store only had seasons 2 and 7 when I looked.)

So I went around town today in search of Pete's Dragon in-store bonuses and there were none to be found. However, for those of you in Canada, here's the prices in the various stores:
Future Shop: $24.99
HMV: $24.99
Zellers: $23.99
Walmart: $23.83
The Real Canadian Superstore: $19.99
I would've picked mine up at Superstore, but I had a gift card for Walmart.

I do apologize folks, but since I hit the big age of 70, the first thing to go is my eyesight, and you are all correct, the Target price for "Pete's Dragon" was $17.99.
But the best deal was at Best Buy - buy any version of Hannah Montana and Pete's Dragon and receive $5 off the total ticket price. So I picked up the Blu-Ray Special Edition (3-Disc) and Pete's Dragon for less than $42.
