The Emperor's New Groove SE: October 18th
From Davis DVD:
"Also due on October 18th is The Emperor's New Groove: The New Groove Edition. This one arrives with a 1.66 anamorphic transfer and Dolby Digital 5.1 tracks (no DTS this time). Extras will include an audio commentary with director Mark Dindal and producer Randy Fulmer, a deleted scene, behind-the-scenes featurettes (character voices, CGI and the animation team's research trip to Peru), two music videos with Sting and Rascal Flatts, set-top game, a sneak peek at the upcoming sequel "Kronk's New Groove" and a DVD-ROM game demo. Retail is $29.99." http://www.davisdvd.com/news/animation.html Considering that the current two disc version is still in print, and that this appears to have no new features and just drops the DTS, may I be the first to ask...why? |
Dont we already have one?
|
Definately not worth it. I am quite happy with my current two discer.
|
Wish they'd do SE's for the ones that need it...Hercules and Hunchback come to mind, and Lilo & Stitch.
Let me guess...a re-issue of Atlantis is next... |
I can't even tell if this is going to be two discs...doesn't sound like it....

I understand why Tarzan is coming out since it is OOP but why are they doing a SE on something that is already out as a CE. The only could be is that maybe it is a 1 disc version. Either way I will skip it. |
It has a preview for the sequel (which will probably be second rate and suck).

The 2-discer is better.

We already have The Ultimate Groove. Why the hell do we need this one?
Just a marketing ploy to tie-in with the sequel, which, as dsa_shea noted, will probably be crap. Watch out for these kinds of re-releases. --THX |
i think having the actual Sting video is new...but i'm too lazy to get up and verify. the old one had the flats video and the making of Stings song if i remember correctly

I think the old 2-disc SE cover looks way cooler and better.
|
So in other words, this release is just like the new Tarzan DVD, meaning that the original OOP 2-Disc set is the set for adults to own.
|
Looks like this new release is no touchy for me.
|
Keeping my old sets for both Tarzan and Groove. I really miss the more sophisticated cover art that we got when Disney did seperate one and two disc sets, though I don't miss how much extra they were back then.. so I guess it's a fair trade.
|
Are there any plans on doing anything like this for Atlantis: The Lost Empire in the future?
|
OK. So, to summarize, apart from potentially upgraded audio and video, it looks like the only new material on this 'special edition' is the inclusion of a deleted scene? Is that correct?
