2 dics? Will this contain all the stuff from "NBC's Outtakes 2"?

As much as I like widescreen, if its the exact release of the 2003 dvd version I can't see myself buying this. Though it is nice to see Disney releasing some stuff; Lions Gate however has them beat in every way with all the Henson dvds coming out.

I'll have to remember that because the tape I had of that movie got destroyed. Good thing I have a Best Buy gift card.

ok something is not right here I checked the run time on both and the old MGM dvd had a run time of 100 min, and the new Universal had only 87. I hope they did not edit stuff out. Then the question comes how much could they really put on two discs anyways?

It probably won't happen, but I have thought about the fact that Universal also owns the rights to Sam and Friends. I wonder if they'll put some episodes as a bonus.

Not sure what DVD you have, but my MGM DVD says "1 Hour and 28 min" which would be 88 min. So 87/88 min. is correct. 100 min probably included Pepe Profiles/deleted scenes.

According to a listing of this on ebay.com, it is a two disc set...............but the second disc is a CD?

Maybe the soundtrack recording? How many songs were in this Movie, be great to have them as an official CD soundtrack though!
