It does feel a little early but the DVD industry has always been evil like this. It feels like the BatB PE came out only yesterday.Poody wrote:A little early if you ask me....
Yeah, I'd especially love to see the original extended Prologue (before it was cut down to stained glass windows and a voiceover), along with more information about the first non-musical treatment they were doing.totallyminnie86 wrote:I'd love to see them come up with decent bonus features that weren't previously included..
I probably should've specified that if it were up to me for the DVD release (if they do have a simultaneous DVD release, which I believe they will), I'd prefer it be multi-disc akin to the Close Encounters of the Third Kind that MickeyMouseboy mentioned.Kyle wrote:Blu- ray discs are massive, there should be plenty of space on there to hold 3 versions without being too compressed, unlike the DVD format when they did the last release.Escapay wrote:If it were up to me, I'd make Beauty and the Beast a multi-disc (as in 3 or more) set with the the following...
Of course, I'd like for them to actually be three versions, and not just the IMAX version with certain other stuff spliced in or out from WiP or OT.The old edition is fine, but in retrospect not the best DVD out there. I've always felt that the making-of documentary is too disjointed and could have benefited from being about 20-30 minutes longer since there were so many people with so much to say. And the other minor features are too inconsequential to mean much, though there are a few good gems (the original pencil animation for the "Transformation" is gorgeous, and there's a kitschy factor when you watch the horrible-but-tolerable Jump 5 music video.). And the video quality is also a major issue with most people, so how you feel about that factors in as well. Plus, it's been OOP for over 5 years and is still quite hard to find in a used DVD section (though, for some odd reason, from September 2005 to November 2005 I was always finding them, and thankfully bought one before they all suddenly disappeared again!). If you're adamant of getting the old edition, go for it, but only if you feel you really can't wait another 2 years or if you feel your VHS is about to die on you.stewie15 wrote:The only problem is i don't think i can wait to have it on dvd.

Yeah, I always found it weird that in the section about the voice actors they mention everyone except the actor who played Gaston, the main ANTAGONIST of the film.Escapay wrote:The old edition is fine, but in retrospect not the best DVD out there.

Although they could've been better, it was nice to see Disney put some effort into their releases unlike recent PEsgregmasciola wrote:One thing I hope is different is the menus. I didn't like those CG menus on the original release.
Those are definitely going on my release...

I think it was more the setting that I didn't like. If I were making the main menu for the movie, I would have had it be at the castle. Probably a shot of it from the outside and the other menus would take you to a different room in the castle.Beast_enchantment wrote:Although they could've been better, it was nice to see Disney put some effort into their releases unlike recent PEsgregmasciola wrote:One thing I hope is different is the menus.

anyway, I will be so angry if they're planning to just re-issue the PE line with exactly the same material. Batb may have got decent bonus features but the PQ was just terrible. I couldn't even watch that ballroom sequence! Did anyone realise that Belle turned into a redhead and somehow got a tan?
I totally love that ideaAriel'sprince wrote:Ideas for the menus-
Disc 1-Beast's Castle and after you play the movie it's unenchanted and back to normal.
Disc 2-Belle's village.
(Well,it's like in The Little Mermaid PE disc 1 is in Atlantica and disc 2 is in Eric's kingdom and in Aladdin PE disc 1 is in Agrabah and disc 2 in the Cave Of Wonders).
- it would be such a bonus to see the castle transformed after watching the movie. I would love to see some menus amongst the beautiful stained glass windows, and the forest with wolves creeping here and there in the distance. And ofcourse a menu in the ballroom with Belle and the Beast dancing 
I like it too!Beast_enchantment wrote:I totally love that ideaAriel'sprince wrote:Ideas for the menus-
