Peter Pan Signature Collection Blu-ray Review

Disney’s classic animated feature from 1953, Peter Pan, returns on Blu-ray sporting the same transfer as before, adding a handful of new special features and including most of the archival features.

Thanks for the review, Todd. I sure would love to see the new featurette with Kathryn Beaumont and Paul Collins, but 8 minutes and change isn't worth the upgrade from the Diamond Edition. Good on Disney for including more of the previous suppliants though. I'll stick with my existing Blu-ray.

I'm trying to remember if the old Blu-ray came with a digital copy. One of the things I've noticed on some of the other new Signature Collection titles is that my iTunes digital copies of the older versions were upgrade to the newer versions, meaning that I got access to the new bonus features digitally without having to rebuy the set. That's actually pretty nifty.

Yes and no. The old Blu-ray came out in a 2-disc Blu+DVD version without digital copy and a more expensive 3-disc version with a digital copy DVD-ROM disc before Disney went to codes for that purpose. I think it was one of the last titles where the digital copy was optional, before they just started including it on everything. Others released like this were Cinderella, The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Bast, The Lion King, Tangled and Wreck-It Ralph. (For those that had 3D, the digital copies were bundled exclusively with the Blu-ray 3D version of the set.)

I bought the 2-disc version but ended up with the digital copy anyway somehow. I'd be happy to look at the new bonus features if they magically appear tomorrow but I doubt it.

The Gold/Bronze Border version did. If you already have that Digital you may want to check you Itunes or MA since I'm seeing the Beaumont and Collins extra already added a few days ago as well as most of the other extras

The Blue Border (and Gray Border Bluray+DVD in DVD Case) didn't though it did originally come with a Blue Border Slipcover.

Thank you both for the tip! I just logged in and found the extras included and just watched the Kathryn Beaumont and Paul Collins featurette, which was absolutely great and I only wish had gone on longer, and Stories From Walt's Office, which was mostly interesting for his TV introduction that it included. I'm really happy I got to see these without buying the new disc and wouldn't have thought to look otherwise, so thanks again.

Did you log in to Movies Anywhere, or iTunes? I see the extras on Movies Anywhere, but my iTunes account shows the same digital copy without the extras. I always download my iTunes digital copies and was hoping the iTunes copy would be updated.

Sounds like it hasn't updated b.w the services. Most of the time I find disconnecting Itunes and MA for 30-60 minutes and reconnecting forces the update -- sometimes immediately, sometimes overnight. Mine updated over weekend at Itunes and Monday on VUDU by itself.

It can sometimes take a few days to a few weeks for newer bonus features to show up.

I found them in Movies Anywhere.

It can, but quite a lot of people have reported theirs already and usually most people's account updates pretty much the same time,
