Mrs Doubtfire and Big (Tom Hanks)? - Blu-ray Forum

KingSimba · 03-19-2010, 01:30 AM

Anyone else wanting either of these?

They've been out in the states for a while now, wish they'd hurry up and release them over here

Great family classics IMO

Definitely want Mrs Doubtfire, has always been one of my favourite films. Haven't seen Big in years but last time I remember it was quite fun. I'm guessing in the States they are both Region A locked.

Yup, both of them are.

They're both FOX i believe, am hoping they do a UK release for them both over here sometime soon.

HMV have a listing for Mrs Doubtfire, but no release date or pre-order currently available.

Hey SSBlu,

I would like both - but they are region locked in the US - but I did find a "Madame Doubtfire" available at Amazon in France. They also have Romancing The Stone and Jewel Of The Nile too - I might end up grabbing these and there seems to be no plans to release in the UK.

Yeah i have wanted Mrs Doubtfire for ages but about 6 months ago i could not wait any longer and just imported the German version as it is Region B

Its great, Never regretted my decision

martymc80s · 03-19-2010, 09:37 AM

lol whenever I think of this movie - it's always the scene with Pierce Brosnan and Robin Williams at the bar near the pool...

"It was a drive-by fruiting"

Taat · 03-19-2010, 10:12 AM

That is on funny scene at the pool. Mrs Doubtfire would make a lot of money in the UK because it is a family classic.

KingSimba · 03-19-2010, 10:42 AM

Thanks for the info on the french release,

I'll wait a little longer though, im sure it'll come out eventually over here, if FOX stop being lazy

Blu_Ray_UK2007 · 03-19-2010, 11:32 AM

I'd love them both on Blu.. like you said they are great family films.

sapphire_nick · 03-19-2010, 02:00 PM

I too would love both of these. Are they Fox releases in the UK?

apmje · 03-19-2010, 02:39 PM

Both...especially Big.

KingSimba · 03-19-2010, 03:06 PM

Pheraps a somewhat stupid question, but does anyone know of any way to contact the UK 20th Century FOX, similar to how i contact Disney UK, to ask them if theirs any plans for this release?

Or maybe if enough asked them and showed interest, they'd release it over here?

And yes i believe they're both distributed by FOX over here, if im wrong though, feel free to correct me.

My DVDs of both are by fox so i'd assume so.

That is annoying I wish they would release them. They are great family classics o well.

KingSimba · 03-23-2010, 09:04 PM

Maybe we'll get em next year, seems a long time to wait though as the US and other places have had them for a while now..
