Pinocchio Blu Ray replacement disc for missing lines of dialogue? (1 Viewer)

[CraigF]

^ The one I got is uncorrected. It came without the slipcover, as often happens with newer stock of "older" Disney titles, so I was hoping...

Thanks for checking so quickly, Craig.


I have the sense that something is amiss with these unsubstantiated reports. Like I said earlier, I haven't even heard Disney admit that there's any problem with the release...let alone that it is getting fixed.

i have been checking every resource that i could and haven't seen anything on a replacement disc as of yet, if i can find the time i will call Disney this week and inquire as if a replacement is in the works, and let you know what i find out

Ernest has posted that he was basing his posts on posts at ultimatedisney.com and that those posts now appear to be false. Looks like this particular hope has been buried for now.

I still don't understand why Disney hasn't taken care of this issue. They must be aware of the problem by now, and the UK version doesn't have the problem, making a new master really simple.

I'm surprised too. Disney was surprisingly good about correcting faulty DVDs in the Treasures and Legacy series, as well as the last season of The Golden Girls. Why they haven't acknowledged the problem for one of their key Whatever-Precious-Metal-They're-Calling-It-This-Time-Around Edition titles is beyond me.

Ultimate Disney (see under Dec 1) says this is going out of print in March 2011 so the audio problem will likely not be fixed.

Yup, we'll have to rebuy it in six years when it is re-released (assuming blu ray is still around then) in a new and improved version - for which the only improvements will be these fixes.

On the copy I just got today from Amazon, both "Right!" and "Look out, Pinoke!" are there on both the 7.1 and mono tracks. "Look out!" is mixed in with sound fx of the clattering cans, so it doesn't stand out as much, but it's there.

What?!?!?!?

I wasn't going to watch the whole film, but the Blu-Ray was so gorgeous (plus I just had a new lamp put in my projector) I just couldn't stop. I wasn't thinking about the missing dialog I'd read about in the threads here, but as soon as I heard "Right!" I said to myself, "Wait a minute, wait a minute..." and played it back on both tracks. I paused the disc, then checked the threads again, which reminded me of "Look out!" so I then un-paused, listening for it, and there it was too.

 

Paul, when did you buy your copy? It is Region A? If so, then I am calling Disney

 

[Mike Frezon]

I would agree that a call to Disney is in order.

It's region A. Ordered it Dec. 4, shipped Dec. 6, received today, Dec. 8. I notice it's dropped another dollar since (now $21.99), and you can still get an extra $5 off on both if you combine it with a Bambi pre-order (which I did).

 

[Paul Penna]

BTW, both bits are still missing on both English tracks of the included DVD version.

 

[Mike Frezon]

Now it's going to be a matter to see if there's any difference in the packaging with the wrong and the corrected versions...unless, of course, Disney will explain it to us.

Then, it'll be a matter to see if they 'fess up to having released a fixed version and will issue replacement discs to those who want them.

What about the color on Pinocchio during his "no strings on me" part? Does it stay the same now? If I recall correctly, the yellow clothes on him turned white when the spotlight was on him.

That anomaly is still there. I have to wonder if I would have noticed if I hadn't read about it here; it's not one of those glaring "Woah, what happened there?" things. To me it's an interesting question about how it occurred, but purely in an abstract sense. S**t happens.

 

Actually, I put in the vhs from 1985 and the missing color was there as well.

Hi Paul, if you have a blu-ray drive on your computer, can you pop in your disc and tell us the date of the .M2TS files on the disc? That would be the date the error was fixed, which should be a recent date.
