YES! Babe in WS!

Hopefully Happy Gilmore will be the next to be reissued.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

Is it appropriate to do the naked dance?

 

[Marty M]

I have been waiting to own Babe and was hoping a OAR version would finally be produced. Good news, indeed.

 

[Rain]

Sweet, I've been waiting for Babe in OAR forever.

Easily my favourite talking pig movie.

 

[Brandon Conway]

Is it appropriate to do the naked dance?

Why not? Aren't both Casper and Babe nude?

 

[PaulP]

Hopefully Happy Gilmore will be the next to be reissued.

Amen to that!

 

[Peter Mazur]

Great news!!! I have been waiting for both of these for awhile.

 

[Brandon Conway]

Which reminds me - what are the movies that were released P&S only by Universal early on? I can think of the following....

Babe
Sea of Love (WS SE just released)
The Jerk
Happy Gilmore
The Sting
Death Becomes Her

Any others?

 

[Patrick McCart]

I think Casper is possibly one of the worst films of the 1990s and Babe is one of the best from the same decade.

Babe is one of those "perfect" movies where everything fits well. I'm very glad that a special edition (in OAR) will be coming.

 

[LukeB]

Which reminds me - what are the movies that were released P&S only by Universal early on? I can think of the following....

Kindergarten Cop and Twins, as well

 

[Ryan Peter]

I hope "Pig in The City" is a new transfer. The old one is pretty weak and doesn't stand up to current transfers.

 

[T r o y]

Looking forward to Casper! I owned the Casper LD (DTS) and the soundtrack rocked! I hope the DTS DVD version can sound as good.

 

[Dan Rudolph]

Finally. I've also wanted an OAR Babe for quite a while.

 

[Jason Seaver]

. Available in separate 1.85:1 anamorphic...

Suh-weet!

Now bring on The Shadow!

 

[Emil Stoica]

Let's see Timecop in widescreen as well!

 

[John O]

I will prbably grab Babe and Casper.
How about a WS The Shadow with DTS.

 

[Gabe Oppenheim]

Gah! Just after I spent good money purchasing the Babe DTS LD*...Any extras will be much appreciated; Babe is my second-favorite film of all time!





*(which will quite possibly sound better than the new DVD).

 

[John Kilduff]

"Casper"?

There's a DVD...Of this movie...on September 23rd. YES!

I know what I want on the disc:

Deleted Scenes (There was a website that had a listing of all of them)

Commentary from Brad Silberling, and if possible, Sherri Stoner and Deanna Oliver

Featurettes

The "Remember Me This Way" music video

The theatrical trailer

Sincerely,

John Kilduff...

Finally in widescreen!
