[DVD] Tarzan: Special Edition DVD coming in October!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Tarzan: Special Edition DVD is coming to a US store near you in October! This special edition which has been released in many other countries the last few months will finally get a re-release in the United States after the collector's edition, which was released in 2000. We don't have much news about it yet, but we know that the release date is October 18, 2005 and that this is the logo:

the links go on to further speculation, but it looks like a rehash of the old 2 discer....I don't mind a bit. Never tracked down a 2 disc when it went oop and have been stuck with a single disc release. Looks like the only added feature will be a new commentary and some set top games. Most people are asking for a 5.1 mix and play all feature.

This is awesome news! I've been trying to find the OOP Tarzan 2-disc set but I haven't had any luck, and I'm usually good at finding rare and OOP DVDs. At one time, that sucker was bringing $100+ on eBay...but not anymore.

I was in Mexico a couple of weeks ago and they had just released this 2 disc special edition, which had the same extras as the previous US 2 disc version. I didn't buy it because I knew sooner or later it was going to be re-released in the states.

I have the OOP two-disc edition, but am generally a sucker for upgrades...so there will be a new commentary and, perhaps, a new transfer, or...? I suppose, if no one knows for sure now, we'll find out when it's officially announced soon. Still, any help would be appreciated.

edit: I just noticed Jim's post about the high ratings for the transfer of the OOP Tarzan 2 disc edition. But the new SE still has an improved transfer? And a new commentary? I think this new edition warrants a look. Thanks for the info everyone.

DVD Review - "The picture is extremely clear and there are no obvious defects from the source print. The great colors that I mentioned before come through brilliantly in this transfer, with the deep blacks giving way to the varied hues of the jungle. Of the Disney animated titles released so far, I have no hesitation in saying that this is the best looking one."
DVD Town - Rated the video a 10/10
DVD File - 5/5 "Quite frankly, I'm still reeling for the experience! This is, without a doubt, one of the absolute finest visual presentations I've yet encountered on DVD.... everything about this anamorphic widescreen picture is just breathtaking! Colors are vibrant and solid without bleeding. Detail, while in the limited realm of animation, is outstanding with finely resolved computer animation backgrounds that come alive with a sensational depth that draws you completely into the film.
There is also not one single artifact, either compression or NTSC, found anywhere in this picture. I found no cases of pixelation or break up in the image. Your jaw is going to drop from the moment that this movie begins.....This is truly reference video from Disney..."

Hey thanks for the post, TomOpus, much appreciated. If the OOP Tarzan got such a great review for picture quality, then the new release should be even better given it's supposed to be an improved transfer. Definitely warrants a look.

I was never able to get the CE and have always been upset about that. This is great news.

But a new edition can't improve on the awesome cover for the origianl 2 disc set. It's one of my favorites.
