Of the Platinums I only have Beauty And The Beast, and I don't have it as a Platinum but as the red book case-like R2 PAL Collectors Edition.
I also have Sleeping Beauty which I think is a Platinum edition by any other name
I'm like Scabbie, my wish list is everything! But i'll probably get them all in PAL non Platinum Edition box sets
(I already have some of the Platinum movies in Laserdisc:
Snow White
Bambi
Cinderella
The Jungle Book
The Little Mermaid
Aladdin [in Widescreen])

Oh... My Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King DVD's are region 2. From the Netherlands. It's PAL.
Platinums

Yep, the 'Platinum Edition' are just plain old 'Special Edition' or 'Collectors Edition' here in the UK. So the 2-disc releases of B&TB (i.e. the red book), the Lion King and the soon to be released Aladdin are SEs, whereas the remaining 2-disc R2 titles - Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Tarzan, Atlantis and The Emperor's New Groove - are all CEs.

Yes, you mean this
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASI ... tedisne-21, I've got this too. It is called CE, although has the same contents of the American Platinum.
To get the OOP Snow White I bought it of Amazon about two months ago.
B&TB

Yes, very confusing. The 2-disc B&TB is both a SE
AND a CE !!!
Which just leaves the R2 Lion King which doesn't mention CE anywhere on the packaging, but then again, Lion King is the only UK 2-disc edition NOT available as a single disc!

Well mine is not exactly that one, since i didn't buy it in the United Kingdom, the cover doesn't say Special Edition just Collectors Edition (twice)
It includes a couple of extra things, like this music video:
I've now listened to BatB in 5 totally different soundtracks.

The Dutch 2-disc of Beauty and the Beast is called Special Editon and Deluxe Edition...
Alternate covers

Wow, some great alternate covers. I like the oval shape on the Dutch cover. I presume that's a cut-out revealing Belle and the Beast underneath?
Posted: Sun Aug 22, 2004 6:15 am
by Scabbie
No, it isn't
But it's a great cover and I'm very happy with it!

The oval cutout Idea would have been great! Like those ancient photo frames!
Or maybe a sugestion of the Beast's mirror?

I think "Special Edition" refers to the SE of the movie with the "Human Again" sequence added to it, while the "Collector's Edition" refers to the DVD itself.
