1080p? Seriously? Did you upres the 720p picture of the BD to 1080p? Other than that, color me interested.

Other than the opening titles and the cut instead of fade when Scuttle is introduced, what would it take to put that edition on the top of the list?
Obviously you need to fix the editing on "Part of That World".
Since the sync is based on GOUT, I can confirm that is a perfect sync with the V3. dark_jedi and You_Too, maybe you can add this track to the upcoming BD of yours.

Well as some of you may know Wizard of Oz is being rereleased on video this year for like the 600th time!! :P Unlike the last couple releases which included a 5.1 track and the original mono track this release only features the 5.1 drops the mono track. Is this a loss?? Were changes made for this film's 5.1 track?????
Not really. The 5.1 mix is made of 3 parts:
1. Restored mono track
2. Isolated orchestra angles
3. Isolated music and effects track
Out of all of these, there is but one change found only on the mono track and that is the removal of Judy Garland's stutter around when she says "Oh, Toto!" in Kansas. And really? They are removing the mono track for the 3d rerelease this year? What's your source?
Hello, everybody!
So, this is the Blu-ray cover for "The Jungle Book":
"Not bad", I hear some of you say, but I, with GIMP mind you, can show you that they did better with this:
So, this thread is for custom made Diamond Edition covers.
GO!
Today, I got "The Jungle Book" on Blu-ray (FYI, blu-ray.com states that USA gets "The Jungle Book" on Blu-ray February 11th, 2014) and I gotta say it might be a better Acceptable Alternative over the 2007 Platinum Edition DVD. What I don't get is that on "Oz the Great and Powerful", there is preview for "The Jungle Book" Diamond Edition that's in 1.33:1 (the footage from "The Jungle Book", I mean.). Why, Walt Disney Pictures? Why lie?
Slightly off topic, but is there anybody else who has "The Jungle Book" on Blu-ray?

Thanks to SilverWook and skyjedi2005 for the info. You have been credited as sources.

Are you sure that is not another electronically retracked into stereo mix. I have a 007 laserdisc like that its the mono mix faked for stereo playback.
It could be, lol.
Ok, after some research, here's what I could find on "The Wizard Of Oz":
LD: Some (if not all) LaserDiscs are mono (like the 50th Anniversary Edition), others were fake (credit for info: skyjedi2005) stereo (like a Japanese release with reference number G98F5545).
link: http://www.lddb.com/search.php?search=wizard+of+oz&sort=title
DVD: Dolby Digital 5.1 for the simple release, original slightly altered (credit for info: SilverWook) mono included in the Collector's Edition and the 70th Anniversary Edition.

BD: Both Dolby TrueHD 5.1 and mono sound is available on all official Blu-rays.
What about "The Wizard Of Oz"?

Hopefully Eloitt says 'penis breath' ;)
I have the official (anniversary edition) blu-ray and I'm here to confirm that Elliot does indeed say "Penis breath". Slightly off-topic, but that is the weirdest insult I've ever heard.
It is a way of saying cocksucker in a pg movie
OK, makes sense now.

Regarding Planet of the Apes: I just checked my copy of PotA and you know what I didn't find? The mono audio option. Having the original mono on the PotA BD must limited to USA (Can somebody back me up on this?). Also, no isolated score on the original, just the sequels (at least on my copies).
And now for something completely different: what about Tron?
Here's my question: what about the original "Planet of the Apes" and it's sequels?

Hi everyone. Based on this image sample, which version of the Blu-rays do you think has got the closer colour match from the original ?
Thanks to answer
Well, all I can say is we need to preserve the LD version ASAP. If I had a LD-player, I'd buy this (along side the 1997 special edition of Star Wars).
Just request a reseed.
Well, I recall watching this movie on VHS in my childhood, and just recently I saw the special edition. (BTW, typing that just made me realize that maybe Disney has thinking like George Lucas before they bought Lucasfilms.) If you want to preserve the colors of the 3D-edition, at least mux both the left AND right sides and compare them to the 2D-version. If you compare both sides to the 2D-version, you will (hopefully) see which side is the closest to the 2D-version.
Can somebody translate this to swedish:
http://bayfiles.net/file/Pnal/pm7a1G/Star_Wars_IV_1997_Special_Edition.srt
I just finished watching it and all I can say is: I was blown away. I also own the 2008 DVD (you know, the one with GOUT) of only ANH, the 2004 DVD of only ESB and all the movies on BD, so now I've watched (almost) every Special Edition of Star Wars if you continue with your awesome preservations.
Thanks for the invite, benduwan

I finally released SET! You could find it on myspleen.
Enjoy!
Good, can somebody give me a myspleen invite?
Hello, everybody.
We all know the changes GL made in the special edition(s), both the visual changes and audio changes. But I wonder what's the difference between the mixes? The official Blu ray claims to have 7.1 surround sound, but since I don't have a 7.1 surround set-up, I can't confirm it. So, for those of you that have that kind of set-up hooked up to your Blu ray-player, what does sound like? Is it simply a up-mix of the 5.1 mix from the DVD or is it a new mix altogether? And, while I'm at it, is the 5.1 mix from the DVD a up-mix from a stereo mix? Can someone help me?
For those of you who have not seen the un-aired pilot, here's the opening narration word-for-word:
Water, earth, fire, air. My grandmother used to tell me stories about the old days. How the four nations once lived in harmony. How everything changed once the Fire Nation attacked. Only the Avatar mastered all four elements. Only he could stop the ruthless firebenders. But when the world needed him most, he disappeared. Nobody had seen him for a hundred years, until my brother and I found him: an airbender named Aang. The problem is this Avatar is still a kid and even though his airbending skills are great, he has a lot to learn before he's ready to save anyone. The Fire Nation will do anything to capture Aang before he masters all four elements. So, I must keep him safe until he is ready to fulfill his destiny. My brother thinks I'm crazy, but I believe Aang can save the world.
