Report this post		They should be sued under the trades descriptions for calling them "special editions" - I bet those "profiles" are barely a few mins each.....

Report this post		It's sad when Special Edition becomes a synonym for downgrade. Lets see, 'Christmas Carol' receives a Pepe Profile instead of the Commentary and Documentary. I'm guessing pretty much the same "special edition" treatment has been applied to 'Treasure Island' too. What a wasted opportunity :mad:

Report this post		The press release shows that there a 1.85 transfers ALSO on the discs - I guess an update on this will show that. Where have all the lovely features gone from the previous discs, though?

Report this post		BVHE have updated the press release, as when I posted this news item they were only listing 4:3. I suspect all the extras from previous discs will be included, they're just too dumb to mention them.

Report this post		With all these Henson movies getting re-vamped, maybe ''The Witches" will finally get a treatment of some kind-the DVD transfer at the moment is pathetic
