Mulan 2 Disk DVD

[Sarangel]

From DVD File:

Just in from Buena Vista Home Entertainment is the return of the Disney 1998 animated smash Mulan, which will get a new two-disc special edition on October 26th. Released once before on DVD back in 1998 in a bare bones edition, the studio will heavily market this new redux along with their upcoming Platinum Edition of Aladdin. While bonus features have not yet been announced, this two-disc set will feature a remastered anamorphic widescreen transfer, Dolby Digital 5.1 surround track, bonus featurettes, games and more to come. Retail will be $29.95, and stay tuned for the full details in the coming weeks.

Good from a financial standpoint.

Bad from my standpoint, which is usually in front of the DVD rack, wondering why the same movie I bought years ago has re-appeared in a slightly better guise.

Aaarrgh.

I have pretty much stopped buying DVD's for that exact reason. I only get the absolute top of the line editions.

Nowadays when a DVD comes out, I will judge it based on one thing - if it is a Widescreen movie, is it Anamorphic, or Enhanced for 16X9 TV's. Because these are the DVDs that will look best on HDTV sets. I have given up on caring for most extras, and don't replace a title unless I had the misfortune of buying a non-anamorphic one in the past. (Like Mulan)

Plus, I have some fondness for Mulan because I was working at the Animation Studios Tour in Florida shortly after Mulan came out.

30% additional picture resolution is not "slightly" in any shape or form. The original Disney's Mulan is not anamorphic, this one is going to be.

Ditto! Looking forward to Mulan and Aladdin.
