Pirates of the Caribbean 3 Disc set and Universal/ Dreamworks Animated film news.

DouglasRobert · 08-20-2004, 06:55 AM

Found this at DVD Planet and thought I would post what I found.

It seems that Universal/ DreamWorks is either re-issuing or putting out new Editions of their animated films all to be released on 10-26-2004 for $14.95 each.

Disney is releasing a 3 Disc Set of Pirates of the Caribbean on 11-02-2004 for $29.95.

No details are listed as to what are on these.

Does anybody have any details on any of the above releases?

Ha!

So happy I never got around to picking up the first POTC, especially since it's so difficult to find with the slip cover now.

if its the same transfer on POTC, I'll pass. The current transfer is pretty bad. Take a look at the DTS sampler disc that has a clip from POTC, the PQ blows away the commercial release.

I'm happy with the current POTC. Doesn't warrant another purchase no matter how much stuff they put on it.

Since I got the first POTC as a Christmas gift, I'll look into getting this... though outside of the missing trailers, what would they add, anyway (especially since the sequel won't begin production until next summer)?

I never even picked up the current release (watched it so many times with family and friends) but I'll get the 3 disc for sure.

I wonder if maybe it's the current 2-disc set packed with the soundtrack/score?

I hope it's not a SE as the current one is pretty loaded.

"The current transfer is pretty bad. Take a look at the DTS sampler disc that has a clip from POTC, the PQ blows away the commercial release."

Didn't the "commercial release" disc rack up a boatload of DVD nomimations? And didn't it win some as well?

Ray H · 08-21-2004, 01:09 PM

Yeah. But some say they were undeserved. There's a very heavy amount of edge enhancement early on in the film. Most notably when Jack makes his entrance he seems to be outlined in white. I didn't really notice much EE later in the film though.

If they plan on rereleasing then please, add as much as possible! I would never, ever ask a studio to not release a SE version.

How can Disney justify a 3-disc release of Pirates when the 2-disc version was already pretty good? It had 2 commentary tracks and was loaded with other great extras, so I can't imagine what a 3rd disc would include. It can't possibly be promo featurettes to hype the sequel, because that hasn't even started filming yet and isn't slated to be released until summer 2006.
