can't wait!

Count me in.... I must own this one.

Leonidas King · 06-18-2012, 08:11 PM

Disney has confirmed October 2nd and its a 35th Anniversary Edition.

Frightener22 · 06-18-2012, 08:14 PM

Looking forward to adding this to the collection. I was fortunate enough to get an original 1-sheet "Pete's Dragon" poster in mint condition for less than $20 a few weeks back.

Wally Q · 06-18-2012, 08:17 PM

Damn, I hope Disney isn't waiting for the Golden Anniversary of Mary Poppins in 2014. That and Who Framed Roger Rabbit are the two I absolutely need to have on Blu-ray.

With that said, I really enjoyed Pete's Dragon when I was a kid and would pick it when it comes out.

Great news, Thanks!! What's the source for this date? Is there a pre-order available already?

Here's the page for it on Disney's site, with cover art - just like the high Flying DVD edition.

Walmart also lists the movie with a runtime of 88 minutes, which is 40 minutes less than the correct runtime of 128 minutes. You know that has to be wrong. I will go with Disney's October 2nd date on this one, and I am quite sure it will be 128 minutes.

Here's the cover from Walmart.com:

Disney *did* release a shorter version of the film, and it has aired occasionally on television, but I agree, there's no way they'd release the trimmed version. Everyone knows the longer cut.

OH that's awesome they're bringing their live action ones, hopefully this means we get Swiss Family Robinson sooner than later, fingers crossed

Livelong420 · 06-22-2012, 09:15 PM

I'm psyched. I've only ever seen a VHS taped from tv!

So no lossless audio? And the site also lists the 88 minute runtime. Hmm...

cheers to those who have added info to the thread while I was away in Europe for a few weeks....I added it to the OP

Freezeup · 06-22-2012, 10:18 PM

Love the movie, but I will be fine hanging on to my DVD copy, which hosts the same slipcover artwork. Am happy enough with it.
