Well I don't think any one know but, Besides the 2-disc Release, I see on the 20-10-2004 the day that alladin 2-disc is released also stands this on the site of the Free Record Shop: Aladdin De Luxe (4 discs)
So is disney Releasing a special special edition or does the Free Record Shop have the Name wrong and this is the alladin Trilogy

this is the danish box of the trilogie which is a 4disc release
Updated: i've corrected the topic title, I always write Aladdin wrong

I'm not sure if the one you are talking about, and the picture you posted are of the same product, but I think both refer to the Aladdin Trilogy.
The UK and France are also receiving 4-disc box sets, and all of these are the "Trilogy". So I'd say any 4-disc set is the trilogy, and not a super version of Aladdin.
Hope that helps.
BTW, thanks for posting the Danish box art. Looks groovy.

Jeeh, I thought something like that. I just think that it's a little strange to call it a deluxe version if it is a trilogy, or its just the 2 disc version with to Music CD's, But i woudn't be surprised if it is just a other name for the trilogy.

It could be with CDs. You never know. A lot of the European boxes tend to have the CD soundtrack included as well. (As you would more than likely know). Even so, I'd still say it was just the Trilogy under a different name for marketing purposes.
Just out of curiosity, I noticed that Amazon.fr is advertising the Aladdin trilogy as "Trilogie Aladdin : Aladdin / Le Retour de Jafar / Aladdin et le roi des voleurs - Coffret Prestige - 3 DVD" indicating it has only 3 discs. As we have seen packaging for this, we know that the set will actually have 4 discs.
Just goes to show you - you can't always trust what retailers have posted on their website. It could be just a lazy person doing data entry!

I don't think the UK is, but some European countries are getting a single disc version of Aladdin too. I think sombody posted that France would. So I think the Deluxe may just refer to the fact it is 2 discs?

No I got my answer from the Brother Bear Press Release
u al kunnen we verklappen dat de met twee Oscars bekroonde Classic
ALADDIN vanaf 20 oktober 2004 verkrijgbaar is op DVD en VIDEO.
Naast de 2-Disc Speciale Uitvoering met zeer veel bonusmateriaal is ook verkrijgbaar de Deluxe 4 Disc Trilogy Box met als extra de films
ALADDIN: DE WRAAK VAN JAFAR en
ALADDIN EN DE DIEVENKONING
(vanaf dezelfde datum ook te HUUR)
For those who can't read dutch, it say that on 20 october the Alladin 2-Disc Special Edition comes out, and that also a Deluxe $disc Trilogy box, with Extra movies: Aladdin the Revenge of Jafar, and Aladdin and the King of Thieves.
So its the trilogie

Well at least we don't have to wait, for the special editions of the sequals . But I like to know how special the special editions of the sequals are. My guess, Aspect ratio 1.66(if posible), in the USA maybe DTS, but here it will probaly be Engelsch Dolby Digital/Dutch DD5.1 and French DD5.1.
I don't have the impression that the alladin special edition will have DTS in europe this time
here a picture of the dutch Trilogie. It is called on Bol.com Aladdin Collectors Edition.

Sorry to be fussy but Disney's ALADDIN is spelt A-L-A-double D-I-N.
Searching for the alternative spelling of ALLADIN on Google brings up links to:

Have Disney spelt it differently in some countries?

I think it is spelled 'Alladin' in The Netherlands... I'm not sure...

Why not? The Dutch Brother Bear DVD will have it... I think Aladdin will have a DTS track (besides the English and Dutch Dolby Digital 5.1) too. I'm looking forward to the 2-disc Special Edition of Aladdin. I'm not going to buy the trilogy set.

The dutch Aladdin dvd will contain a DEHT (Disney Enhanced Home Theatre) mix for sure. The head of Buena Vista Home Entertainment Benelux told that to the press on the Lion King Special Edition press meeting.
Aladdin is spelled "Aladdin" in the Netherlands. I don't think many countries have different spelling.

Thanks for the information about the Dutch title... I think I thought it was 'Alladin' because I spelled it that way when I was young.

Here's the cover for the forthcoming Dutch Aladdin DVD:

A-L-A-double D-I-N
But on the Dutch cover of The Lion King was also the English title... that's why I wasn't sure.

Yes, but generally when translating, names are kept as is since not all names are able to translate to other languages. This is of course general as some names have alternatives in other languages: i.e. James in Hawaiian is Kimo. But if someone from the mainland visited and his name was James, we wouldn't go around calling him Kimo because it's a different version of his name, and technically not his name.
Anyway, I agree with whomever said it first, it's spelled A-L-A-D-D-I-N...just like someone misspelt Iago with two o's. E-ah-goo? lol.

Jeh, But here we are wondering if we get DTS 5.1 Engelisch Home Theatre Mix, like with the lion king.

If we will get DTS we will have Englisch DTS.
And there is no dts logo on the front Cover like always.
On early Dutch Lion King covers there wasn't any logo besides the Disney DVD logo and the rating logo. The DTS and THX logo were put in later.
