Originally Posted By utahjosh "I don't wanna buy the dvd and then find out that the 2 disc will be coming out" Santa Monica, those are my feelings exactly! I'm trying to buy only the collector's editions of Disney DVDs. So far I have: Fantasia Anthology Ulitimate Toy Box Snow White Platinum Dinosaur Collector's Edition The Ultimate Groove I need to ger: Tarzan CE a Bug's Life CE Does anyone have ANY clues if Hunchback will have a Collector's edition?
Originally Posted By Jim Kirby, thanks for your review. Seeing the widescreen edition (on DVD nonetheless) was like watching it all over for the first time. Gosh, what a beautiful and moving film. If Disney was to ever go back to reissuing films to theaters, this one would be another BAMBI or SLEEPING BEAUTY that would finally receive the respect it truly deserves.
Originally Posted By ToonKirby I have no idea if or when they will release a 2-disc set. Maybe in 4 years on the 10th anniversary of the film ??? If I hear of anything, I'll post it here or in my column.

Originally Posted By Kar2oonMan Great review ToonKirby. Hunchback quickly jumped to the top of my personal Top Ten Disney Animated Films list, and I can't wait to get the DVD. I miss the Festival of Fools at Disneyland, too. One of the best live shows they ever did.
Originally Posted By ToonKirby The "Hunchback" show at MGM at WDW was my favorite show there, a great recreation of the movie on stage, very inventive. Unfortunately, I never saw the show at Disneyland, even though I know the director.
Originally Posted By jkober Thanks also for the link. I've ordered the CD, which will be a treat to my daughter who thinks the show at the studios is the best! Next question: What other DVDs have multi-language reel examples. I know the old laser discs did. In fact, the Hunchback did the opening number in a multi-language reel. It was a stunner. Any in DVD?

And our multilanguega clipreel is not from "a Guy like you" but from "the bells of Notre Dame" The nice thing about that is in the end of the song the movie title changes also in the different languages ! The cover is the same by the way. I also checked on thing. On your list from 20 remarkable things number 14 tells the moment Quasi drops down the Cathedral with Esmeralda you see 2 famous Disney stars below.....I can't see them unfortunately.Who are does stars?
Originally Posted By electra It makes sense that your dvd has better extras. i think Hunchback was more popular in europe than it was here. Is the deleted scene fully animated?
Originally Posted By Santa Monica The two characters are Goofy and Donald. I tried looking on my VHS, but couldn't see them. I also hear that Pumbaa is somewhere in the backgrounds (like Belle) but I can't find him. Is the Stage Show album in German?
Originally Posted By ToonKirby It is Goofy and Donald, but you really have to look for them. Freeze frame it and they are in the lower left hand corner of the screen. It's from above, so you real only see their recognizable hats. They mention it on the audio commentary. Thanks for the info Bart, interesting that it is different in Europe, but still not the full 2-disc as first heard of. The German cast album is in German, but you can find the English lyrics on this great site: <a href="http://www.alphalink.com.au/~paga/hunchback/" target="_blank">http://www.alphalink.com.au/~p aga/hunchback/</a> Pumbaa is in the same scene as Belle during "Out There". He is being carried by two men, right behind her. He's not really clear, so I don't know how people have recognized him. Also, in the same shot, the man on the right is holding the carpet from "Aladdin".
Originally Posted By ToonKirby Btw, I ordered the "Der Glockner von Notre Dame" cast album from Footlights on Tuesday, and got it in the mail on Saturday. Great service and well worth the price.
