Is the DVD transfer in the Alice In Wonderlan 2011 Blu  Ray combo any good? I know that it's not the same trasnfer as the Blu Ray disc, i'm just wondering if it's better than the Gold collection or Masterpiece transfers.

 It's a transfer from the Lowry's restoration in 2004.  It was also re-released in 2010.  If you're a purist you  may not want it, but it is quite good and better than the 2011 BD.

You'll get the same transfer and a better selection of extras if you get an older DVD instead.

@ALL - Rumor has it Disney will be releasing a double dip/Special Edition of Frozen come the holiday season.  It should include more bonus features and a 3D version (which the UK already has).  Plan your purchases accordingly.

While reviews of the current BD are good, the aspect ratio is NOT theatrical, measuring 2.24:1 instead of 2.39:1.  Dunno why.

Edit: Also (unempirically), the DVD looks intentionally soft.  Could be yet another dirty trick to forcing people into buying BDs, could be to save bitrate, could be my eyes.
