I was wondering if anyone has a copy of Hercules that has an insert in it.
I just bought a copy at Wal-Mart and it does not have a chapter insert.
Did I get a bad one or are they all like this?

My Hercules has a Gold Collection insert and an Animals of the Outback booklet.

My Hercules DVD has a Gold Collection cover and insert, and Limited Issue disc art. It also comes with the Animals of the Outback booklet.

Boo Disney again, must have come with the new price drop for the Herc.

Mine is limited issue and has an insert.

my animal of the outback came with my rescuers down under DVD not with my hercules

I too, did not have the animals of the outback book, but did have an insert. My disc, is golg collection. I believe Doug is right. If all disney dvd's are w/o inserts now, except for special ones, then when they sent out new shipment of herc, sword, cauldron, ect, they must have been without inserts. You're really not missing anything, but i geuss it is the thought that counts.

I wonder if we'll ever see a 2-disc "Hercules" DVD? I'm sure they've got the material to fill it, what was on the Herc Laserdisc?

I don't know, but certainly it wasn't a full loaded edition like "Pocahontas" and "Hunchaback". I think they are going to release a "Special Edition" someday (with new anamorphic transfer and some extras added to it), but I don't think we'll se a CE in the near future (maybe "Mulan" will have one)

i think we will, since disney is getting the hang of special edition 2 disc sets are very popular. i wouldnt be surprise the special editions welcoming next year will be 2 discs

I hope so, since "Hercules" is a very nice film (although it's not one of my favorites).
I am looking forward to the January special editions - please, please, please Disney, they MUST be 2-disc sets!! Anyway, I'm already happy I will finally be able to get a restored print of "Pocahontas" with anamorphic transfer. This is one of my favorites, and I'd love to have a Collector's edition of it (well, I would love to have Collector's Editions of all the 42 features, anyway...)!

Joe!

i hear you jose carioca the GC pocahontas DVD is the worst ever! is a shame for disney to put a print that shameful! be nice to see all the deleted scenes and promotional stuff, audio with the cast and directors, galleries, videos, and other cool stuff

What a terrible DVD this is! I just bought it because I love "Pocahontas". The only good thing about it is the cover (wich is much better than the childish European version). The 5.1 audio mix is also good, but unspetacular - it could be a lot better! I hope they fix it putting a DTS track on the future DVD.

That would be awesome! I know this is almost impossible, but I hope someday they decide to release a CE edition of "Saludos Amigos/Caballeros", with all those great extras that were released on LD! These are two of the most underrated Disney films ever, and they have a lot of rich backstage information!

i love both of those, they should make collector's edition of all there animated features! i would buy them! and not just me alot of people!

Could you imagine a Collector's Edition of "Black Cauldron"? Well, a guy can dream... If they decide to release it as a simple 'Special Edition' with anamorphic transfer and a making of featurette and deleted scenes attatched to it, I would already be soooo happy!

Well, they could release a CE edition of "Treasure Planet" - it wouldn't be expensive at all, since, as with "Lilo & Stitch", all the extras for a super-edition were produced, but not all of them were released!

the day Black Cauldron gets a 2 disc set i would voluntarly go on a hook!

The copy that I got for free from Disney's Buy 3 Get 1 Free offer had the Gold cover with Gold-labelled disc art and a Gold-labelled insert. However, no Animals of the Outback book.

This is all just a speculation, but take a look at the titles that are available at Wal-Mart. For the most part, almost all the Gold Collections are there EXCEPT those of which are rumored for special edition releases soon (i.e. Alice, Pocohontas etc). On that note I think it's interesting that there is no Mulan dvd. I know it was on moratorium, but so was the new Parent Trap and Inspector Gadget right? Perhaps they are preparing for a future big release of the following missing titles:

Mulan
Hunchback
Black Cauldron
Fox and Hound
Make Mine Music
Melody Time(i'm not sure if that was there or not)


Just something I noticed and had these crazy ideas about. Wouldn't two discs of these be awesome? I know a 2 disc set on any disney dvd would be awesome, but how about an unedited Make Mine Music, or Melody Time? Perhaps a Collector's Edition of Hunchback isn't that far away.....

well if they dont have them doesnt mean they're getting a re-release, wal mart doesnt carry all the tittles at once. plus they are not big sellers so they dont need to keep stocking them

I have two 'Animals of the Outback' book - one came with "Hercules" and the other one came with "Rescuers Down Under"

I have zero "animals of the outback" booklets!!!! I have both Hercules and RDU and i didn't get a booklet in either of them !!!! Its unfair how you guys got one in Hercules which wasn't even supposed to have one and i was jipped in RDU where it supposedly came with one. Thats just like BVHE.... Oh well, such as life!

Anyway, (end of rant, back on topic) both my Hercules and RDU came with regular inserts...
