Jungle Book UK Blu-ray

[aggietubagod]

Does anyone who has this know if it's region free like all the previous Disney blu-rays were. I've seen that Amazon.co.uk has it as Region B/C, but it seems odd that this release would be region locked and no others are

I own the UK Steelbook version, and can confirm it is indeed Region B/C locked. On another forum someone said the steelbook version is the same disc as the regular release. Very strange that this one is locked while other aren't.

I have the UK regular version and it is region locked. Only plays region B and C.

I guess they don’t want the Americans buy it outside the US; and wait for next year Diamond Edition release.

Does anyone know if it has some new bonus features or just the same from the Platinum Edition?

According to DVDCompare's entry, it contains the following new material:

Introduction by composer Richard M. Sherman (0:30)
"I Wan'na Be Like You: Hangin' Out at Disney's Animal Kingdom" featurette (18:25)
"Alternate Ending" featurette (8:46)
"Growing Up with Nine Old Men" documentary (41:08)

The "Growing Up" documentary appeared on the US Peter Pan Blu-Ray, so I don't think it'll repeat itself on The Jungle Book next year here.

Also, the Blu-Ray doesn't have the Platinum Edition's Disney Wildlife Conservation Fund PSA (3:33 running time), art galleries (306 stills) or various interactive games. And it's still missing the "Making of a Musical Masterpiece" documentary and theatrical trailer, both from the 1997 LaserDisc.

I can confirm all that.

"I Wan'na Be Like You: Hangin' Out at Disney's Animal Kingdom" featurette (18:25)

This feature is hosted by G. Hannelius and Blake from Dog with a Blog and it's very interesting, you can see all the inside work of the park.
