Fun flick that should be a great dvd.

 

[Alex S]

Can't wait for this one !

 

[David Lambert]

This guy way just uncanny with his accurate information!

 

[johnbr]

Bummer no DTS.

 

[Matt Stone]

Definitely can't wait to check out the commentaries. Although it would be nice to see Orlando Bloom on one.

 

[Brandon Conway]

This guy way just uncanny with his accurate information!

I guess that means we are pretty sure to get those Alice in Eonderland, Lilo & Stitch, and Pocahontas SE's on 1/27/04, the Mary Poppins SE on 8/17/04, and Aladdin on 10/5/04.

 

[Qui-Gon John]

Price tag's a little steep, but I'm sure we'll be able to find it at some outlets for much lower, around $20.

 

[MartinTeller]

Wow! Nice! This is a must-buy for me. I believe this is the first Disney disc with more than 2 commentaries.

 

[Larry Sutliff]

This was the highlight of the summer movies for me! Can't wait to get the DVD!

 

[Travis_W]

Good to hear there's not going to be a waste of time fullscreen version floating around taking up widescreen space.

 

[Artur Meinild]

Sounds great. I somehow doubt that this is the full specs, sound a little vague for a 2-disc set... Notice "will include", for instance where are the trailers???

 

[TomWoodward]

Aye, doesn't seem a hugely impressive spec list but that's all the official press release mentions. The commentaries should be good fun anyway.

 

[Carlo_M]

Excellent news! Both the girlfriend and I loved this super-fun summer movie. As soon as it ended she looked at me and said "we have to get this on DVD!"

 

[Adam_ME]

I somehow doubt that this is the full specs, sound a little vague for a 2-disc set... Notice "will include", for instance where are the trailers???

There's a good chance there won't be any. Honestly with Buena Vista lately, it's become the norm for their DVDs to NOT include trailers, at least not for the actual film on the disc.

 

[Shane Martin]

Definitely picking this up.

 

[Neil Joseph]

Didn't see it but I will pick up for sure.

 

[JayF]

Why no DTS? Don't most Disney DVDs have DTS?

 

[Tim Ke]

I believe this is the first Disney disc with more than 2 commentaries.

How about the 25th Hour?
