7	mawnck Thu 5/1/2008 1:24p	Just FYI - I got my grubby paws on a copy of this little gem mere moments ago. Goofy's still censored. Will pontificate further once I get it on the bigger screen at home.
8	mawnck Thu 5/1/2008 10:40p	Pontificating further: Exact same transfers as the previous DVDs. Same grain, same dirt, same flicker, same scratches. Which is not an awful thing. It's not as if they're in bad shape, it's just that there are uncorrected flaws to find if you're looking for them. If you take as a given that it wasn't worth blowing big bucks on restoration work for these relatively obscure titles, they're really quite nice transfers - sharp, bright, with pleasant colors that don't sear your retinas, damage your TV, or look like flash animation from Qubo. They look like - gasp - films. And complain though I often do, I must take a moment to thank Disney profusely for never resorting to that bane of all animation on home video, DVNR. (We will, for the sake of this kudo, ignore Schoolhouse Rock.) The bitrate's lower than the first issues, but picture quality is very close. MPEG encoders have definitely improved! They've fake-stereo'd the music and effects this time, and not given you the option to listen to it in original mono. I sure wish they'd knock this off. But yet again, it could be a lot worse. They didn't go overboard, and the artifacts aren't distracting. In short, don't replace your old copies, but if you don't have old copies, by all means go for it. Like I said above, just Aquarela do Brasil by itself is a "gotta see", and worth the cost of the whole enchilada. The whole enchilada ain't bad either. Thumbs mostly up. PS - OK, the redesigned grinning Tink on the Disney DVD logo kind of creeped me out. When did this happen? Well at least she isn't CGI. PSS - Sleeping Beauty looks promising. Wish they'd hurry up with the Profile 2 Blu-Ray players. No I don't want a PlayStation.

Now I know there's no reason to buy the new set. Everything I Ever Needed to Know, I Learned Form Disney http://www.whatsitsgalore.com/...ice.html
