Re: Australian Disney DVD and Blu-ray Release Info - Ongoing

Got an email about the Disney Movie Rewards Australian program yesterday. Ending in September. All points you have now will not be transferable to the new program. I have points, but not enough to even get a bronze title from Disney Zone. Can't get any more points as newly released DVDs/Blu-Rays don...

I emailed DMR Australia asking what's happening with this program, but am yet to receive a reply.

The Disney Rewards site is down to only 4 rewards, other than the online multimedia stuff. With no Blu-Ray or DVDs been offered at all. It seems like only a matter of time before they close the Disney Rewards program, at this rate. Maybe it was my imagination, but I don't think the new Disney Blu-R...

Yeah, what an utter embarrassment, especially compared with the other rewards sites.

Hope they lift their game in 2013.

edit: Good news! The Aussie BD does have the Behind the Scenes and Extended Scenes features. It simply not listed on JB's website or the cover. Yep! I ended up buying this in JB before ordering from overseas, just thought I'd check anyway, and lucky I did. Really silly how it's not promoted anywher...

Does anyone know if Disney Blu-Rays from America will play on Australian systems?

I'm seriously considering getting the Brave 5-Disc set from the US as yet again we have been short changed here on discs/special features.

Concept Art for Trains
Wow, that actually looks quite atmospheric and a bit dark. I don't think that's what the final product will look like though :roll:, although i hope it retains some of the aesthetics.

The local Disney Rewards is completely worthless too, currently only offering a single DVD via rewards. I don't think it could get any worse. What, you don't want Treasure Buddies Activity Sheets? :lol: Yeah, I agree completely Kirben; I had a look on the US Disney Rewards page to compare the other...

Guess we're not getting Pixar Shorts #2 anytime soon then?

EDIT: Also, it really annoys me that we get the stripped back versions of the Blu-Rays of Finding Nemo & Brave, while the US gets a five disc set in both cases.

Wow, I'm really impressed. The range and quality of items in the rewards program from you guys in the US is fantastic.

Compare it to what we have to choose from in the Australian program:

Not a bad idea bern1992. As it stands anyway, the 'book' the dvds come in has torn and flaking paper on the edges, so hopefully I can at least get a store credit.

I bought this and I love it so much. Cars is my new favourite film for this month :D Although the Australian version has a slightly different cover. I can't tell if Australia got the revised covers or earlier ones. Victurtle, did you pick up a Blu-Ray/DVD combo, and if so where from? I've only ever...

Just a question, will overseas Disney Blu-Rays, in particular those from the US, work on my PS3 here, or are they region coded and restricted like DVDs? :? Thanks in advance!

Disappointing, but not surprising.

I've also noticed the tendency for a lot of non-Disney Blu-Rays to be released with a DVD and Digital Copy in the US, but here we just get the vanilla Blu-Ray versions. Maybe I will have to start importing instead full stop...

Walt Disney Home Entertainment is very excited to let us know about Tinkerbell and the Great Fairy Rescue coming to DVD and Blu-ray on September 15. So excited, in fact, that they have sent us 8 minutes of the film as a preview of what to expect. http://www.dvdbits.com/details.asp?newsid=5185 So ex...

Absolutely loved it.

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but I also loved & noticed that the films come full circle - the opening shot of Toy Story begins on Andy's cloud wallpaper; the final shot of Toy Story 3 (not including credits) finishes on similar shaped clouds in the sky.
