Region code info

[Kyo28]

Hello everyone,

Sorry to bother with this, but I have a region A player and am looking to buy these discs in the UK. Does anyone have any reliable info on the region coding on these?

- Alice in Wonderland (Disney, US release is region free)
- Ponyo (Disney, US release is AB region coded)
- Sherlock Holmes (Warner, US release is region free, Warner usually is region free)

Thanks in advance for any help!

Thanks. It's a site I regularly check but unfortunately the titles I'm looking for are not (yet) in their list.

Sherlock Holmes UK is region free, but the bonus DVD is PAL R2
Ponyo is PROBABLY Region B, as it will be by Optimum

Alice In Wonderland, just go for the US. The UK will be missing many of the bonus materials.

Sherlock Homes is region free, but I don't know anything about the other two.

Thanks! That's a lot of good intel!
I'm getting the UK Sherlock because of the slipcover which I like and it's cheaper.
Alice in Wonderland is cheaper in the UK but I didn't know there will be lots of bonus materials missing ... so I'll have to think about it after I'm sure it's region free or not.
Ponyo would be a pity if Region B. I was hoping to get it instead of the much more expensive JPN release.
