It's already out, Once. This is just the same again, with a new picture transfer and probably only a new game as a new extra.
I saw the 2.35:1 digital restoration of this on TV a year or so ago (I mentioned it somewhere here) and knew that for them to have created a new image element meant a new DVD sooner than later. The colors popped on that transfer, so this should look good.
As that thread that Neal linked to says, this is probably the last DVD issue before the title comes to BD either later this year or next.

I know there's a single disc edition but I didn't thought they"ll re-release it ever again.
Then I guess it will be like Sword In The Stone re-release but there aren't concept arts they can have on the DVD? or films like those gets a single disc edition?.

You know if it has a new restoration you'll double-dip.
Nice to see this confirmed, another forum got word another country was getting a re-release so naturally they hoped R1 would get one too.
Well, I'm not exited. I saw this twice I believe about ten years ago, did not care for it at all. Of course my opinion could change, which is why I look forward to seeing TBC again fresh. I just remember it being extremely boring. Loved Hen Wen, though!

An restored anamorphic transfer would certainly get me dipping!Neal wrote:Yeah, I just bought the current DVD release of TBC in September. I doubt this will have anything to merit a double-dip.

Peeerhaps...
With several other good Disney DVDs coming out this year, though, I've got to ration carefully.
I haven't got Snow White or Pinnochio on anything but VHS, so those are both definites, plus the BOLT DVD. I may double-dip with the Lilo & Stitch: Big Wave Edition because of the bonus features.
As of yet, I've never double-dipped. I'm wary to until I have at least all the classics on DVD once before I begin doubling up on some.
We'll see. I'm easily swayed with these things.

You know, this is one of the very few Disney films I have never watched. It was never widely circulated when I was growing up and I didn't find out about it until 10 years after it came out (really because of the Internet). I've had chances, but there have been so many mixed reviews on it that I have always set it aside for later.

It's not as bad as Disney made it out to be by pretending it didn't exist for a very long time. My earliest memory of the movie was a computer game I had. I had no idea of the story line but the premise intrigued me and I was reminded of the movie by a friend I made on ICQ (does that even exist still) who was massive fan of it. Thankfully ater all his insistence talk it was released in Australia I went out and watched it and fell in love with it. True it's not one of their best but it's almost criminal that Disney chose to ignore it for so long.
With the current interest in fantasy films all I can sya is that maybe Disney was just ahed of it's time. I will admit though that as a massive fan of the animated musicals I often play 'Where would I put a song' when watching the movie. And surprisingly it is very easy to picture where songs would work. Although it's not like the movie would need songs to be enjoyable.
