Dick Tracy will also be full frame. I like the film and have waited years for a DVD release - a widescreen one at that - the art direction is half the film! But Disney has seen fit to release a crummy version of this Warren Beatty film.
One of my friends who is a huge Madonna fan won't be...
I guess they think if we're starved for the DVD we'll take anything. They are wrong.
On another note, I was watching primetime television tonight and noticed that more and more shows are "enhanced for widescreen TV". Wow! Ultimately these TVs will be a reality and the new format will me...
Well, (insert expletive here)! I will just have to hope that Disney changes their mind and releases a widescreen version. It's funny that they claim poor quality for not putting two versions on one DVD when cropping the film automatically degrades it!
On another note, a friend of mine who is...
This is what I reported to the Henson Company. Maybe they can provide a better address at Disney to state the full-frame complaint:
Dear folks at Henson-
I really don't know who to voice this concern to, so I thought you might be able to help. Disney has recently chosen to release the...
I certainly didn't mean they's jack the Muppets history by including new members, but I can see opportunities for cutaways, intros etc that the classic Muppets could appear in - away from the heart of the story. If there is no Piggy in this movie - even for a minute - I am sure there will be...
Ryan-
Darn these threads. I somehow miss so many messages. Thanx for the offer. I will definitely contact you when I am able. I have little new to trade these days, but I'm sure something could be arranged.
That sounds closer to what logic would dictate. There would need to be Muppet cameos and I am thinking that even Fozzie and Piggy would pop up somewhere too even if it was in a credit sequence or modernday cutaway. Just an idea. Could be wrong. Cool to see that many Muppets will be in it!
I am not completely wild about the repaint exclusives, though I think the Electric Mayhem ones coiuld be really cool. And Scooter in a cape kicks serious butt too. I will try to collect them all, but if I am not able to, I won't feel so terrible. I think that's the point of these exclusives is...
I am sure the figures will look much different than the conceptual drawings.. Go check out the Palisades website and compare the Series One sketches with the figures and you'll see though the drawings are really good, the figures turn out much better.
But is the Australia version in PAL format? Is that true about Harry Potter?? How insane. I feel we were given a great gift that most titles were released in widescreen when DVDs came out just to have it yanked away because of some brainless consumers and bean-counting execs. Argh!
Which ones will I buy?
Musts for me are the main characters: Kermit, Fozzie, Gonzo, Miss Piggy, Rowlf and Scooter. I will try to collect as many EM characters as I am able, but I will start with musts Animal, Janice and possibly Dr. Teeth.
That leaves Zoot, (Floyd is not included for some...
