So it does seem to be missing a few things from the DVD (the music video comes to mind) but it looks like it got most of the meaty stuff. And the A/V quality is good, which is really all I care about at this point.

Good review, the only thing I disagree with is that he thinks the film is average. I personally think it is very underrated and deseves better recognition.

Double points on TP & HOTR with DMR. Now I hope somebody carries it for a decent price since it's not in any ads. If I order it from Amazon or DMC it won't get here by July 9th (last date for the double points).

I work at Target and we usually have pretty decent prices for new releases, usually cheaper than DMC. I'm pretty sure we're gonna have a deal where you get additional discounts if you buy the two films together.

Double points today? Nice! It's a good thing I'm getting both Treasure Planet and Home on the Range in the mail today :)

Getting TP & HOTR at Target. Best Buy, Wal Mart & Toys R Us didn't get a single copy in. When they finally put out a catalog title Disney doesn't even try to sell it. :x At least Target has them at a decent price of $19.99.
When they weren't in the Sunday ads I feared something like this. Glad at least Target got them. Could've ordered them from Amazon or DMC but wouldn't have gotten them in time for the double points.

I got mine at Target as well for $19.99. Didn't feel like driving all the way up to Best Buy to find out they weren't on sale or they didn't have them in stock. Target only had two copes of each movie!

I am surprised they didn't have the buy 2 and save $8 to $10 dollars on the box.
OH well, at least I got them on Blu-ray and double points! :D

No one near me had this or "Home on the Range." I tried a Best Buy and a Newbury Comics but no dice. The Barnes and Noble downtown had one copy of "Treasure Planet" but it had no slip and was like $26, and that wasn't gonna fly for me. I ended up ordering them both on Target's website. I hope they come quickly enough.

...so much for that I guess, huh?

I knew this wasn't possible. It doesn't make sense for Target to have a promotion like that and not....promote it.

Yeah, it was a weird thing to assume. Sometimes places won't mention a sale price in an ad just in the interest of space (like how Best Buy had Newsies for $12.99 when it came out but never stated it anywhere except on the in-store display tag), but it'd be highly unlikely not to mention a combined deal like that. Pity though.

I guess, but it's still cheaper than DMC. I never got to see the ad though.

^Actually DMC is essentially the same price minus a few cents if you bought both as the double feature for the month's featured selection, and it has free shipping. :)

Yeah, but with my team member discount I get a few bucks off. Plus if you're buying it individually you're saving like 10bucks plus shipping.

Ugh. Disney, if you're gonna release your lesser known films on Blu-ray, at least TRY to advertise them! :roll:

After reading the reviews on Blu-ray.com and DVDActive.com the only thing that seems to be missing are the galleries. The music video is there.
