the original CE and UE are superb releases. been on Top 100 DVD list in the year they were made available. might as well keep the original and get the new editions.

funny, Disney felt the need to lower the price of the new releases because former collectors were disappointed with the sudden re-release of Toy Story... and now Tarzan..

i guess this new release will have a better audio quality w/ its 5.1 dd audio track, than the earlier releases including that of the CE w/c only had a 5.0 dd......am not an audiophile but i surmise there's a difference between the two, tama po ba ako......

hemisphere · « **Reply #8 on:** Jul 30, 2005 at 02:17 PM »

sir, classicman. i cant tell the difference between 5.0 and 5.1 cause all channels are working naman when i play the dvd. weird nga.. hehehehehe. parang audio track ng fantasia which is DTS 5.0. anyhow, posting cover art:

5.1 will have prominent low frequency sound or sonics. So it's better.

I'll get this one for sure.

hemisphere · « **Reply #10 on:** Jul 30, 2005 at 04:25 PM »

i dont think so baby.. you need to hear it to believe it..

picture improvement is the ultimate drive for the purchase of this release, i think.

classicman · « **Reply #11 on:** Jul 31, 2005 at 06:14 AM »

may we respectfully request our audiophile members to share their inputs on this matter......what's the difference between a 5.0 dd from a 5.1 dd audio track, if there's any, & w/c is better.....thanks in advance

DD5.1 and DD5.0 are the same in respect to all 5 channels. The .1 indicated is the presence of the sub. If your home theater set up doesn't have a sub, then you can barely hear the difference.

Yup that's right. So this new dvd release has separate .1 sound or low frequency sound. the old release has not.

oh well, i happen to own the Tarzan Collector's Edition and am not working under assumptions or theoretical numbers here..

my conclusion.. a line taken from City of Angels.. Some things are true whether you believe in them or not..

classicman · « **Reply #15 on:** Jul 31, 2005 at 06:02 PM »

now available for pre-orders at amazon, medyo mahal pa at $20.99.....i hope there will be a price drop similar to what had happened to toy story, se & cinderella w/c are now priced at $16.99 only........

Mr. Hankey · « **Reply #20 on:** Aug 22, 2005 at 07:56 PM »

I'd hold off on buying this title if you still don't have it.

Reason: Disney's Tarzan opens on Broadway on May 2, 2006.

We all know how Disney likes to create new animation for songs featured in Broadway versions of their musicals (The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast), subsequently incorporating them into "Special Edition" DVDs. Since the musical hasn't opened yet, I think we'll be seeing an extended cut of this film with a new song added in a couple of years...

hemisphere · « **Reply #21 on:** Aug 23, 2005 at 02:23 AM »

i think the plan is to produce a DVD boxset of the three films: Tarzan, Tarzan 2 and Tarzan and Jane... plus a bonus disc perhaps which may include some broadway advertising features.

i already have the CE but i am getting the new release to complete all versions.

oo nga naman, parehas lang ba sila

......i just cancelled my r1 order in anticipation of the price drop of the r3 version this weekend, yun nalang ipapabili ko

Yup, bought the SE kanina lang sa SALE.

Parang pareho lang. Ito yung mga SF ng R1:

- Terk's Tree-Surfing Challenge
- Three All-New Games; DisneyPedia
- Living In The Jungle; Deleted Scenes Including Alternate Opening; Research Trip To Africa
- Discovering Tarzan; All-New Music Video Featuring The Wildly Popular Everlife; Music Videos Featuring Phil
Collins and 'N Sync.

A very quick scan on my part...parang nandun din sa R3 2 disc for only 250.

hemisphere · « **Reply #28 on:** Oct 01, 2005 at 03:43 PM »

the difference between R1 or R3 may be minimal---slipcase, previews and some easter eggs. in terms of future value and collectibility, i would consider r1 to be on top. but you may acquire the R3 release for money's worth.

Is this edition better than the 2-disc Tarzan CE? I already have the CE but not sure if this double-dip is necessary. Or should I sell the CE and get the SE instead? Unlike our esteemed resident Disney collector Hemisphere

I'd rather choose one than have two versions of the same film.
