Let us know your system set-up George. Archiving my LDs to DVD is something I've only just started to think about. Even stuff I now have on DVD might be worth porting over.

George Lucas said in the article that he's never making a movie in 2D again.
Apart from Indy IV ;)

Awwe, crap. Widescreen ONLY?? So glad I'm keeping my LD with the FULL image. JB was animated to 1.37:1 negative, meaning that it was cropped in theaters, with the top and bottom sliced off (don't worry, it was framed with that in mind). Walt preferred this as it mean the size was right for later TV ...

Paper Dreams is a great book (another Canemaker classic, if memory serves).

I just got X3 out and will watch it soon, so will let you know! :)

Marry me! Ahhh, our first marriage! Seriously, the word is that we'll get an extended SR whenever and if ever a sequel is made. This has been confirmed within WB at least, and I am probably breaking some kind of stupid law by leaking it here, but I hated, <I>hated, HATED</I> SR and can't be bothere...

They announced they'd be doing them this way last year.

Yep, the first set for me, and maybe the second. Five hours of bonuses? I yam so there!

Ben's baaaaaa-aaaaack!

Hey guys... I just wanted to jump in here and apologise to our great readers and my fellow working colleagues here at Animated News & Views for my complete recent no-show on the sites and forums. Following a very nasty virus almost two weeks ago, I was completely shut out of my PC. I had to buy and ...

The only thing I can say is yes, it IS a business decision. And here's the business... Foreign prints need dubbing, but as you say, Australia and the UK speak English and can accept the American accented original dubs. So that's exactly why we get them later...because we can understand the American ...

I think since theatrical shorts get so much exposure on TV compilation shows, or indeed as "episodes" as they now call them, in their own blocks, they can get away with it, and true to say it's nice them supporting these releases.

After I got past Jim's popups, this seems like the right direction to go. Disney, of late, has been all-too easily letting future project details slip, making decisions like replacing Chris Sanders with Williams and the ups-and-downs of Rapunzel easy fodder for us to get upset over. When Brad Bird w...

Still boring. They really need to start with some new marketing tricks if they want to push this to a fourth film. They've even gone back to just having the characters standing in front of the Shrek S. Like jo-blo says, "I'm starting to feel like the whole Shrek thing has run its course". Nothing ne...
