Hmm... whoever thought of this is going to have to make it really special to make it worth my upgrading...
IMO there's no reason to re-release this at all. The plain grey cover sucks ass too.
Again, the tone of the R1 (mostly black) is better.
I have the R1 2 disc set that I bought ages ago, which has good extras (including the excellent Japanese TV Making Of), for all we know that could just be the 2 disc set with the Soundtrack CD, or extra gubbins like a film cell (a la the Monty Python & The Holy Grail "SE") a pointless release when the old, old 2 disc SE was perfectly fine. So IMO they can just piss off.

Nice find Grim. Do you work for Play?
I may pick this up depending on what's on disc 3. Isn't the R1 the best all rounder? I would've picked it up by now but it's still to expensive (over a tenner).
I really need to give the film a second chance.

I thought the R1 and UK R2 were the same?
I have the R1 and am happy with it.
No I dont work for Play

The R1 has much more extras and I believe better picture quality.

D'oh
Yeah you're right the R1 has more extras. (Is the R2 missing the Japanese TV special?) Also IIRC the R1 used film as its source and the R2 used video?

Actually the R4 2-disc SE from Madman is superior. It has a Japanese DTS 5.1 track, and all the extras (most notably the superb Japanese Making Of and the storyboard comparisons) of the R1 except the gushing Di$ney crap:- "Behind the Mic" dub featurette and "Paul Lasseter Intro". Not plagued by red tint either. Madman recently re-released it in a standard amaray case.

I got the 2 disc LE of that Oz release... and I'm keeping that one! Unless something monumentally better comes along and at a cheap price!

Considering it's OOP I didn't bother to mention it
I seriously doubt they've sourced enough extras to fill a third disc.

Maybe it includes the sooundtrack?
