Pocahontas Blu-ray (2012)
I'd but it even though it would be a double dip for me since I own the ?10th anniversary dvd.
Pocahontas is the only Disney Princess that was NOT based on a fairy tale...she actually LIVED...she was REAL>
Plus, I adore Meeko and hope Best Buy would offer a Meeko beanie..

Disney Channel died when they stopped airing movies with Haley mills (Parent Trap and Pollyanna) and fun adventure movies like Swiss Family Robinson. R.I.P. the REAL Disney Channel. Date of Death: When the shows became teenie bopperish.

Great news! While the 10th Anniversary Edition is already fine as it is, I do hope they add more thorough supplements about the film, including a retrospective one. I would like to see what the animators and the entire Disney company today think of the movie in retrospect. Do they still believe it started a slow downward trend in their succeeding films or are they gonna defend it from people who blame it?
Can't wait for the release.
Any news regarding Hunchback and Hercules?

Really? I happened to love the picture quality of the DVD. The picture and the colors were sharp and bright.Will Barks wrote:My major problem with the 10th anniversary DVD is the picture quality. It's probably the worst transfer of any Disney film I've seen (maybe Hercules is worse). Pocahontas lives from its concept of clear, sharp lines. The DVD distorts that with its blurriness.
That's why the Blu-ray is overdue!

online HD is barely better than DVD and is compressed about as much.rodis wrote:I love Pocahontas and am looking forward to this release but not as much as I could have been because there's already a really good HD version available online. Same with Aladdin. They're two of my favorite films but blu-ray-like versions already exist which kind of ruins my anticipation. Is it going to look any different anyway? (Aside from some light color changes)
Blu usually is that much better. it's noticeable

I've uploaded some screen caps of both the UK DVD and the HD broadcast. See for yourself, the HD leaves the DVD far behind. Especially on a projector, the Pocahontas DVD is hard to watch in contrast to most other Disney DVD transfers.ajmrowland wrote:online HD is barely better than DVD and is compressed about as much.

Thanks for the comparison images! I just watched the DVD about a week ago and I'm really anxious for the Blu-ray now.Will Barks wrote:I've uploaded some screen caps of both the UK DVD and the HD broadcast.

(I have to confess, the HD broadcast was downloaded, but psst! )ajmrowland wrote:i was referring to downloads and online streaming. my point about the blu-ray being noticeably the best still stands.
But I absolutely agree, Blu-ray is the closest you get to a theatrical experience.
You're welcome! I too can't wait for the day to see Pocahontas in all its glory, being one of my favorite DACs.enigmawing wrote:Thanks for the comparison images! I just watched the DVD about a week ago and I'm really anxious for the Blu-ray now.

There are clips from Pocahontas' HD broadcast on this YouTube page:

He also has clips from Hercules' CAPS sourced HD broadcast and it's light years ahead of the non-anamorphic film sourced DVD.

Hmm, the ad posted just says "Proximamente" (which means "soon") with no release date/month, so I won't let myself get my hopes up...I'm still mad at Disney over Dumbo! Lol
