Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Sleeping Beauty Blu-ray Special Feature

Disney has been doing this since VHS. I first came across it when I tried to fine 101 Dalmations for my daughters back in the 90's. Irritating but effective.

So they can release a new version every four or five years with updated fonts on the packaging and charge you $32 for it.

Good point. I've been waiting forever for them to release '101 Dalmations - Unrated Version'... I wanna see how those two REALLY wound up with so many puppies!

Dude. Animated dogs. That's a new low.

Oh so you're going to sit there and pretend that Perdita ISN'T hot??? Whatever!

Just out of curiosity - has anyone seen the Blu version of Pinochinose? Is it worth snapping up before the vault closes? Any "surround candy" like the "Dragon Encounter" on Sleeping?

Don't know but I went back to see Avatar again with a friend who hadn't seen it yet. I wanted to see it one more time before it left the giant 3D screen. Not only did I experience way more visual detail the second time through but I also noticed a LOT more nicely done detail in the audio effects. The noises of the habitat, the fauna being brushed aside, even insects that were not necessarily prominent in the picture at the time.

You made me think of it with the words "Snapping up". There is a scene where a large, pterodactyl like creature is chasing them and snapping it's huge jaws at them. A couple of the bigger snaps sounded so real and so close to me that it made the hairs on my neck stand up.

I'm unsure about how good the new 3-D TV technology is going to be to do this movie justice but audio wise, I think we have the new Master and Commander in the making when this hits home theater.

You had me wondering where the Avatar review was coming from in relation to Disney and Vaults.

Ah, this is EXACTLY why I've not been able to bring myself to buy 'Beowolf'! My sister and I saw it at the iMAX in 3D when it came out, and the movie was so stunning visually in 3D than I've not had the heart to see the regular version.

Partly unrelated, but I'd really like if they put James and the Giant Peach on Blu-Ray. I'd watched the dvd from Netflix, and it's a strange widescreen matted on 4:3 format. So the thing's sitting there in four sided letter box.
