I called Buena Vista Home Entertertainment (Australia) earlier in the week. They looked it up on their computer and it was listed as ~ the 9th of November. Seeing as Australian DVDs usually use the same masters as R2 (and vice versa), I'd say the U.K. will have it out around the same time. If not, most R2 and 4 DVDs are dual-region coded (i.e. Australian discs will work in the U.K.).

The only problem is the crappy new ratings logo which has come out recently... that's sure to ruin the artwork :frown:.

So the questions are...

- are we getting the same cuts as the US, or have Disney been able to (or bothered to) get the rights for a UK release?
- are these genuine PAL recordings, or are Disney going to take the same stupid route as Time-Life did, and just convert their NTSC copies (the results were appalling - totally unwatchable)
- why are Play only listing 22 of the shows? :smile:
