Re: Disney Animation on Blu-ray in 2019-Present

[/quote] Wow! This would be quite something. Does it say it’s limited to 500 copies though? If that’s true, I can’t imagine I could ever get my hands on it. That’s quite a limited release for such an in demand title. [/quote] It’s easily available through Amazon Italy. I have it and this takes the p...

Re: Disney Is Remastering Song of the South - Possible Relea

I think most people who purchase bootlegs of movies in general really have no intention of purchasing an officially released version. But in this case, I beieve that anyone in this discussion that has obtained a bootleg of SOTS would the first ones in line to buy a legitimate DVD / Bluray version if...

Hey, dvdjunkie!

Could you post a pic of your SOTS bluray find? How about a list of the disc contents?

Here's a rundown of SOTS DVDs made from NTSC sources: If the color is a bit faded and the night scenes near the beginning of the film seem a little too dark (especially when Uncle Remus is in his cabin talking to Johnny), that one is sourced from the Chinese laserdisc. If there are Japanese subtitle...

milojthatch , do you think there is any chance for non-Americans to acquire this DVD? Maybe some obscure online retailer that happens to carry it?... This just popped up on Amazon.cn (China) last October: http://www.amazon.cn/gp/product/B009S2P1B4/ It's likely this will be in the PAL format, but I'...

I have this DVD from the museum.

Just got the Song of the South DVD from Classic Reels. It's the one sold at the the Uncle Remus Museum in Eatonton, GA. Although the disc presentation and cover are very nice, the movie is a low quality PAL to NTSC conversion running 90 min 26 sec. The NTSC versions from MayanCastle and even my own ...

I have adored SOTS since my first viewing as a child in the '70s and would love to see a release on DVD/Bluray. I also have read countless posts over the years (here and on other sites) on what some people find is offensive about the film. One offensive idea that seems to be a constant is the "...

Does anyone know if the artwork for the So Dear To My Heart DVD shown at DisneyShopping.com is truly the artwork one receives when ordering or is it like the yellow colored Wonderful World of Disney-type artwork from the Disney Movie Club?

Brazil DVD and DMC DVD = same transfer. The menus are even the same. Just slightly altered on the DMC disc omitting the 25 minutes of unused footage feature and adding the two shorts. The film transfer is a remaster of the one used for the previous laserdisc and VHS releases. Also, it looks as if th...

When you pop in the Brazil disc, the first thing you'll see is a language selection page. Just choose "English" and that's all you'll see from that point.

Although it's still not likely Song of the South will see any DVD release at all, So Dear To My Heart was finally released as an NTSC Region 1 disc for North America, but only through the Disney Movie Club. Unfortunately, it does not contain the bonus feature that includes 25 minutes of unused foota...

Moon Pilot and The Monkey's Uncle are worth getting only by virtue of the fact that they are not available on DVD anywhere else. No extras seem to be listed for either one, though.

Just guessing here, but Disney frequently seems to default towards programming for the 5 year old, not the collector. Not a big surprise that they'd dump anything an avid adult fan might be interested in and replace it with more cartoons. :roll: Sounds about right for Disney. Seems they would rathe...
