Hi, Melly, and welcome to the UltimateDisney forums.

You are quite correct as far as the Australian Treasures releases.

The only sets released to date here are MM in LC Volume 1, Silly Symphonies, MM in LC Volume 2 and The Chronological Donald. :donald:

The other Treasures sets have not been released here yet, but it's now increasingly likely that the other cartoon volumes may probably be released sonetime next year.

I doubt whether the Tomorrowland or the Behind the Scenes sets will make it here though :(

Melly - my better half has come to realise that there is no curing my Disney fixation, and it is better to go along with it than question it. I'm sure your spouse-to-be will understand that life with you will be unbearable without the addition of Lilo and Mary into your life :P

I tend to agree with blaing in doubting that the other Treasures will come here. Not only have the UK and Europe not seen the non-animated Treasures, I doubt there is a market here for things like Davy Crockett boxsets (although they have released the movies separately), or the behind the scenes stuff. It is a shame for the local market, as these are two of my favourite Treasures sets.

While I'm here, I should mention that I've updated the main list at the very start of this thread. BVHE have just added a number of double features to the November line-up, most of which are Touchstone/Hollywood films, but the Disney ones include:

- George of the Jungle 1 & 2 Double Pack
- Princess Diaries / Parent Trap Double Pack

The Lion King Trilogy will now be out November 10, instead of the previously announced October 27 date.

Oh, and Return to Oz cover art:

Different to the US release, and it has more of a nostlagic feel to it.

Sorry about the size.

Why couldn't they release the double-pack earlier? It would have been the perfect gift for my nieces! Only problem is that now one has Princess Diaries and one has Parent Trap :lol: Oh well, there are plenty of other Disney DVDs I can buy them to make sure they are on the road to Disney-obsessiveness :lol:

Loomis, my fiance has agreed that it's necessary for my sanity to get the SE of Mary and Stitch. Methinks the Stitch is more for him though, he's a BIG fan of the little blue guy and we can't get the sound to work properly on our system :?

THe OFLC have just passed On Holiday with Timon & Pumbaa.

This comes days after EzyDVD offered buyers of the Aladdin: Special Edition (2 Disc) a free Around the World with Timon and Pumbaa DVD, if you are one of the first 500 orders.

So it looks like we are finally getting all the volumes from overseas.

I suspect these may be Target exclusives. Although Ezy are giving away these, so I could be wrong...
Not exactly. ;)

Around The World with Timon and Pumbaa is available everywhere while stocks last.

I got my copies of Aladdin and ATWWT&P on Monday at Big W.

(including deleted song) does anyone know if there is a more than before??

BVHE haven't changed the listing on their site, nor have they done so with Lilo & Stitch, so I would sweat it too much. Many of the old extras WILL be ported over, but there will be new ones as well.

I got confirmation on Monday that these had both shipped, so hopefully they will be at home tonight, or more likely tomorrow. I'll post some info when I get them, and will probably do a review of Lilo & Stitch for DVDBits.

That's cool Loomis, when you get the 2-disc edition of "Pocahontas" please tell us how it is, if "If I Never Knew You" is really integreated into the movie, about the new extras and if the DVD cover is the same as shown in the BV site :)

Cool! Jan 1 isn't that far away. I think I just decided I need to get myself a New Year present :D

Picked up the Lilo and Stitch 2-disc the other day, but haven't had a chance to play with it yet.

Thanks for the updated list Loomis, I really appreciate knowing how much money I have to budget for upcoming DVD releases :lol:

Winnie the Pooh, Little things mean a lot

Post by StitchExp626 »

Hi Loomis, I am wondering whether this had previously been released on DVD. I checked Target and they have it on video but no DVD's. I purchased the current five Magical World of Winnie the Pooh at JB recently for $11.99 each, but they did not have the Little things mean a lot. Do you also know hopw many DVD's are in this series??

Thanks

Kevin from Melbourne!!!!
