I know, but sometimes you have to look on the optimistic side for this

Not on this set, but if you're not watching "Halloween is Grinch Night" every October you're missing out.

so by that rational thought...'Trip to the Moon' that a lot of people went nuts for when it was released earlier this year (myself included) paid almost $40 for a 15 minute film. So I should ask them to give me the 1980's extended dance mix of the classic film so I get a longer film for my money. Hmmm yeah, I'll judge a price for a box set, film, etc by how many minutes it is

I highly doubt this will be $50 when it's actually released.

Actually based on the listed details the blu rays discs , the BLu ray discs are different than the origional stand alone blus..

It appears they have redone the discs to some extemt.

For example the
Lorax blu ray /dvd pack has Pontoffel Pock AND Butter Battle Book.
The Cat and The Hat blu ray /dvd pack has Daisy HEad Mayzie and hoober-bloob Highway
Horton Hears a who blu ray /dvd pack has Butter Battle Book Daisy Head Mayzie.

Based on the listed details the NEW blu rays discs they have removed the repeated bonus features (same feature appearing on multiple discs), which make it look like new discs were pressed.

Strange that there was so much overlap but are you sure that they've actually deleted the overlapped features? The picture says that it includes the Deluxe editions of the movies, which led me to believe it's just the existing deluxe editions put into one set. Is there another source beside the pic in the op that breaks down the discs?

Blu-ray.com's news announcement about the set also says that it's likely a bundle of the existing releases.

No technical specifications or additional special features have been announced, but every indication we've received thus far indicates that this is simply a bundle collecting the five previously released Dr. Seuss specials already available on Blu-ray:

If I had to guess, they will probably not delete the overlapped features and use the exact discs. The only souce I know of is that photo.
So , I doubt they have redone any of this discs, now that I think about it.

This appears to simply be a repackage of the BLus and the DVDs separately.

Hmmm... I may pick this up when it comes out, even though I just recently over-paid for the Grinch! LOL I don't have the rest, so it will be worth it.

I do agree, though, that 5 discs is overkill, even if they are the existing discs repackaged. For content as relatively short as this, one disc should have been more than enough... 2 tops.
