what kind of language track in Spanish have WFRRŽDVD VISTA SERIES Edition, from Spain or Latin America?
|
If other releases are any indication, the Spanish appears to be a generic, upper-middle class, Spanish spoken by, it appears, Mexican actors. It will be intelligible to any Spanish speaker.
What are the roots that clutch, what branches grow out of this stony rubbish? Son of Man. You cannot say, or guess, for you know only a heap of broken images . . .

Disc One is labeled as a "Family Friendly" presentation, touting a full-frame transfer...
Now that irritates the hell out of me - that is, their automatic assumption that families prefer fullscreen.

I think that another reason that it is labeled this way is that they are trying to make you think that the other version is uncensored. Since one version is labeled as "Family Friendly", that implies that the other version isn't. I know a lot of people came to that conclusion when this set was first announced as having two versions, one of them being "family friendly". |

Gary K. Wolf's 1981 British fantasy-mystery
titled Who Censored Roger Rabbit.
|
Actually, I'm pretty sure Gary K. Wolf is American, living in the Worcester, MA area. He was active in one of the Disney newsgroups about ten years ago, and offered to buy me a Toon Tonic (from the sequel novel, Who P-p-p-plugged Roger Rabbit) at The Acapulco when I mentioned I was going to college there (of course, this was the week I was moving back to Maine).
What gets me is that he has apparently had a third Roger Rabbit novel done for at least that long, but his agent had advised him to sit on it until the movie sequel was ready to go.

It's worth pointing out that the commentary is the same that was recorded for the 1998 laserdisc.

I must say that in 1988, I was disappointed in this movie. That was the only time I saw it, and I can't recall what my beef was with it. I was in my teens, and I think I thought the film was pretty dull.
I believe this film was the biggest of that particular summer. For some reason, though, I was never that impressed by the idea of cell animation mixed with filmed footage. I recall people heralding the film as a visual treat. I was younger then, I may like it more now.
This set looks really nice, and I will likely pick this up for that reason alone.
If I am not mistaken, Rollercoaster Rabbit ran in front of "Dick Tracy" in 1990.

Well..THAT couldn't be farther from the truth! THIS family prefers WIDESCREEN! I wouldn't be purchasing this DVD if it were released in "foolscreen".

Just an an FYI...a subsequent review by another site has confirmed that the infamous "finger" footage HAS been included with this release. They still believed the Jessica "turnaround" has been excised.

well i wonder if you are referring to this thread over at dvdtalk.
that thread provides a link to a review at www.dvdmg.com that says.

One note about the image: it fixes a "censored" bit from the old disc - sort of. Early in the original movie, Baby Herman gooses a woman under whose skirt he walks. For the prior DVD, the character's arm was redrawn to appear at his side. Happily, the VISTA version restores Herman's arm to its appropriately crude placement. However, the new DVD digitally removes Herman's finger as it pointed toward the woman's privates.

if you mean another review could you please provide the link so we can read it too?
