Anyone here connected with Warner? Just want to ask when it will be released in the Philippines. I love this movie so much. And can you spare a lil' info on its special features?

Thanks

Sorry bout that-- I meant Charlie and The Polar Express.

firewired · « **Reply #9 on:** Nov 09, 2005 at 10:59 AM »

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory 2-disc widescreen edition will be released sometime in the next 2 weeks. Retail price will be... Php499!

hemisphere · « **Reply #10 on:** Nov 09, 2005 at 11:30 AM »

whoa!! thanks for the update. firewired, would we have details of the inclusion/s for this release? i am particular about the pack of 5 limited-edition trading cards and slip case.

post when available. thanks in advance.

firewired · « **Reply #11 on:** Nov 09, 2005 at 11:49 AM »

Okay, it looks like the inclusions vary per territory. I don't think the Philippine release has the trading cards nor the slipcase but we will be getting a themed notebook. I have no idea what that will look like though.

Most probably nga it won't be the same with the R1 version...HK release comes w/ the notebook that sir firewired said.

As per Warner, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory will hit stores this Friday, November 11!

I'll try to get a picture of the notebook before that.

DVD_Freak · « **Reply #14 on:** Nov 09, 2005 at 06:09 PM »

Great value, great price...

Will get this for sure along with Polar Express & Batman Anthology.

Thank you Warner.

Now if only pricing for new releases for other distributors would follow.

firewired · « **Reply #15 on:** Nov 09, 2005 at 08:43 PM »

Okay, just got a call from Warner to clarify the initial info I received re Charlie and the Chocolate Factory:

Release date moved to Tuesday, November 15.
There will be 2 editions available: a 2-disc Php499 version and the Php550 variant that comes with the imported notebook.

bakit ang warner kayang magrelease ng quality DVD at a cheap price, and with free items to boot. yung ibang mga distributors bakit hindi kaya? ayaw nilang lumiit ang profit nila?

hemisphere · « **Reply #17 on:** Nov 10, 2005 at 12:03 AM »

will check the quality and might get this.

I agree. It seems those distributors operate on the assumption of high profit rather than volume sales.

Mas maganda sana na they sell by the truck loads instead of making huge profits from small number of sales.

Again I'll go for the DE with this one.

seph1018 · « **Reply #21 on:** Nov 10, 2005 at 11:42 AM »

Sana na lang may slipcase like the Batman SEs.

firewired · « **Reply #22 on:** Nov 14, 2005 at 12:27 PM »

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like there'll be a slipcase for the R3 release. I posted a list of the features on the front page, btw as well as a copy of the cover.

seph1018 · « **Reply #23 on:** Nov 14, 2005 at 12:39 PM »

Salamat sir firewired...

Kaiser Soze · « **Reply #24 on:** Nov 15, 2005 at 12:42 PM »

Available na! Just got my copy sa Astro Glorietta.

vtec3 · « **Reply #25 on:** Nov 15, 2005 at 03:06 PM »

Yup available na din sa SM North yung with Notebook

DVD_Freak · « **Reply #26 on:** Nov 15, 2005 at 10:45 PM »

Saw it already. Ang laki ng notebook. Sayang walang slip case. I don't think I'll have any use for the notebook. So I'm gona wait for the regular 2disc edition at 499.

av_phile1 · « **Reply #27 on:** Nov 16, 2005 at 11:24 AM »

The regular 2-disc 499 was beside the 550 with the notebook at Astro Sm Sucat yesterday.

mongaddi · « **Reply #28 on:** Nov 16, 2005 at 12:02 PM »

movie lang ba talaga laman ng disc 1?

no commentaries maski yung R1?

seph1018 · « **Reply #29 on:** Nov 16, 2005 at 12:07 PM »

Got one also last night. Didn't like the notebook that much, blurry cover and "inexpensive" paper stock. But still got the variant w/ notebook. Gave the notebook to my suking saleslady.

Haven't checked out the whole movie, but PQ and Audio was okay. Menus were animated...nice feature on Deep Roy's transformation into thousands of Oompa Loompas. Deep Roy Rocks!

Will give an amateur review soon.
