The OFLC have passed a 2-disc 'Pocahontas Special Edition'.

No details were given beyond that, but this is exciting news for Ausse fans...

No specs as yet but I imagine they will be similar, if not identical, to the ones mentioned in 2099net's post here:

Wow, I hope it will be released here in Brazil as well, but I doubt it.
I will get the region 1 version anyway, but I would love to get an earlier version.

I have the Gold Classic Col. edition, but it is pure crap!

Well it certainly is a mystery as to when it will be released. I did a major trawl of Play.Com 's listings the other day which brought up a few surprises (including Timon and Pumbaa TV compilation DVDs) but no Pocahontas. Or Jungle cubs come to that (thank God).

Well, to update, Empire DVD have posted a November 10 listing for the Pocahontas 2-Disc (which is the same time we are getting the Mulan 2-Disc; Mulan 2; Mary Poppins and a week before Lilo & Stitch 2-Disc):

No further details yet, and I doubt that is the final art.

Great news, Loomis! You aussies are so lucky, hehe. Keep us tooned on the details.

BTW, Brazil is also getting Aladdin on September and Mulan and Mary Poppins on November.

I don't think that is the exact date as they have a alice in wonderland released on that too.
If you guys get in on Nov 10 tell us whats on it.

This thread has the supplements passed at the BBFC

A good round-up of what to expect. Note the date of the first post! About 10 months ago!

Ok, the BVHE site now lists the features:

The Making of POCAHONTAS
Production
Multi- Language Reel
Interactive Adventure: Follow Your Heart
Creating Pocahontas
The Music of Pocahontas
Storyboard To Film Comparision
Abandoned Concept
Deleted Sequence

Which I think is the existing features, because they've done the same for the Lilo 2-Disc. Lazy bastards.

Also, here is a link to a page with tiny cover art:

(It won't let me diretly link the image)

well the cover says featuring an all new song! so i'm thinking they have put of i never knew you back into the movie!!! don't like that cover art i doubt thats the art we will get in the Uk because thats the art of our standard edition already..thanks for that i can't wait for this release

Yes it has been confirmed by the animator that If I Never Knew You is back in the film. The BBFC timing seems to confirm this too.

you see dreams do come true! thats disney magic

Well, that's another reason to hang on to the existing version I guess.

I'm not sure I get the "whole new song" thing. Do they have so much faith in the lasting power of their own films that they have to update them so they can re-release them? Is that the only viable selling point for an older film at Disney? Has George Lucas taken over?

Still, as a proud owner of the PAL (16:9) version, this doesn't upset me too much. And the original is still widely available, so no harm no foul.
