Well this is very exciting... great press release. The features are going to be a lot of fun. That multi-language reel for "Colors of the Wind" sounds cool. Anyone else think it's a little odd that only 2 songs get the sing-along track? Anyways, I love adding 2-Disc editions of the animated classics to my collection!

I bought mine, opened it, etc. and then only a few days later discovered this site and that Pocahontas would be rereleased as a 2-disc edition in the near future. v.vTheLittleMerman wrote:Yeah !! I'm so glad I didn't buy the Gold Collection, about a month ago...
Wherever. Whatever. Have a nice day.

I refused to buy the Gold Collection version because I believed they would eventually release some kind of special edition with the deleted song. I caved in and bought the UK version of the disc about two years ago just to see the animation for it, but I'll be more than happy to upgrade to the new 2 disc set. Especially since they're putting it back into the film where it belongs!
Can anyone tell me if they're including the bonus feature of Glen Keane comparing Pocahontas' character design directly with Ariel's? Not only is it informative and interesting, it's quite funny!

I know what you mean, I loved this on the 1 disc version 2 and was soooooooooo happy to see it had been carried over.

Wasn't Pocahontas's art based on Sleeping Beauty? I remember seeing on the Sleeping Beauty documentary that they talked to the producers or directors or something of Pocahontas.Sunset Girl wrote:I refused to buy the Gold Collection version because I believed they would eventually release some kind of special edition with the deleted song.

Anyhow, thank you for the press release, Luke! This looks like another great DVD set that I will surely be picking up. I'm glad they have that tidbit on the Central Park Premiere. I had always wondered about it since I heard about it. Also, it's nice to know that this isn't loaded with kiddie stuff. Only one game and one kiddie project and disc two is totally devoted for collectors.

I second that. The original 5.1 track wasn't bad, but it wasn't very impressive either. It's no surprise they aren't including an EHT track for "Pocahontas", since "Mulan" didn't have one either, but it is a shame, considering "Pocahontas" boasts one of Disney's better musical scores.akhenaten wrote:what? no DEHT? this set truly deserves a DEHT. IF mary gets it why can't poca? they should've also kept the Audio Description for the Blind audio track...it's beautiful.

Am I the only on who thinks Pocahontas should have been part of the Platinum line? I mean If Sleeping Beauty (not the most successful of the Disney fairy tales, but the most stylized) gets to be a Platinum, why can't Pocahontas (not the most successful of the renaissance era-films and not the worst either; but is the first disney animated feature based on historical events) be?
Because the Platinums are made up of the best-selling Disney titles. Apparantly Pocahontas was not one of them, hence why it was a Gold Classic title, though Disney seems to think of it high enough to give it SE treatment. I don't know if the same "best selling" principle applies to the four "new" platinums (Pinocchio, Fantasia, Peter Pan, and Sleeping Beauty). Disney's been pretty vague on those. Some believe that they won't be Platinums, but, rather, SE's which include the current Sleeping Beauty disc.

That's the thing, Joe... It's NOT new animation! "If I Never Knew You" DID have a place in the film (when Pocahontas visits John Smith in the hut), but it was cut right before its premiere. So when they say it's "seamlessly integrated," they mean it this time!Joe Carioca wrote:Disney wouldn't go to the expense of animating an all-new scene and creating a fancy trailer to end up releasing this film with little publicity, like they did with "Alice In Wonderland."
What Joe means, though, is that Disney took the time and effort to finish animating the scene (a lot of it was in clean-up animation, and a few frames were still in storyboard form). Not only that, but they also animated the reprise of the song, which is now inserted towards the end as Pocahontas and John Smith say goodbye. I have no idea how far the filmmakers originally went with the reprise, so I'm not sure how much effort Disney put into that. Either way, they put too much effort into this to just let it pass by with little-to-no promotion like with Alice in Wonderland.
