For those who (like I did) have trouble deciphering d-r's abbreviated header, that's a release of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.

The background work my indicate a 2-Disk set, but the price ($22.95) indicates a 1 Disk release.

I found a place that's pre-ordering it for about $5.00 less than Amazon, with free shipping too. They're very good. I've ordered several discs in the past. If anyone wants the link drop me an email.

Actually...I would think the $22.95 price would indicate a 2 disk set. The last couple of 1 disk releases I saw pre-order were in the 17.99-19.99 range.

I've heard that Disney is merely transferring the original formated film on to DVD with very little to no extra footage. If that's the case then it will be most certainly be limited to a 1 disc set.

This will be a massive two-disc set with an incredible amount of special features. The Digital Bits has a great description and a picture of the real cover art posted here: http://www.thedigitalbits.com/#mytwocents

It should be tres cool!

Wow, thanks for the confirmation. I guess you can't always believe what you hear.
