Cheers Pedro. It's an old favourite of mine, I used to watch it on vhs as a kid and I also had the cassette tape of the soundtrack which I would play constantly too!
Nice review as well, good to see the film well loved. :D

I also got Toy Story 3 (there is a 2 for £20 offer on Disney bd in Blockbuster atm), but I only watched a little bit of it to get an idea of the PQ. It looks really great, the colours are bright and the image is super-crisp. Wish I had the cash to upgrade 1&2 to Blu.

I watched Fantasia 2000 which looks and sounds amazing with DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 sound and I plan to watch the first Fantasia, which I watched about a month ago, next week.

I rented Toy Story 3 a month or two ago and bought it on Monday and you're right about the AV quality -- it is absolutely stunning. I own the first two on Blu-ray so will probably do a triple bill evening as they all look and sound stunning, and the films aren't half bad either!

I also picked up A Bug's Life, which was a superlative DVD, Bambi and The Princess and The Frog, so I have plenty of HD Disney to watch.

Bloody Disney! :p

Just kidding, I don't mind a bit of Disney, in fact I got dragged to see Princess and the Frog, and I thought had an adequate story but excellent hand-drawn scenery/animation.

Also had to go see Tangled and was blown away by it in 3D. Especially the part with all the floating lanterns towards the end. I imagine all Disney films shine on BD.

I just pre-ordered these from zavvi:

I don't tend to buy modern american horrors unless I've heard glowing reviews first, regardless of the director. Thanks for warning me anyway :)
Looking forward to Streets of Fire though, just had an email to say it's been sent. I bought one from that guy in Korea you recommended.

got these through the post today :)

I've had to remove your posts guys, discusssing where to obtain Pirate dvds. Cult Labs can't be seen to endorse such activity, so the posts have to be removed.
