I wasn't aware there were such strict rules about any off-topic mentions in posts here. Having been a member here for over eight years, I've often seen threads with comments that take slight tangents. It looks like there's a post above mine over two months old asking about an old Nickelodeon TV show which doesn't mention Blu-ray at all or have anything to do with the 2015 film at all, and there are several other posts in this thread that have no 3D-related content whatsoever.

I should have fixed that post a long time ago. Yes, far too many threads go hopelessly off topic and almost all of that is left alone but discussion of 2D editions always gets confusing in a 3D thread so that gets moved or deleted.

All this talk makes me actually want to watch this movie now... (I have the French edition)

Is the German release english friendly?

Thanks!

Amazon Germany shows that it doesn't have an english track.

Does anyone know if the Hong Kong release is english friendly with not a single forced subtitle? I know the French release has a few as posted earlier in this thread. I was thinking about picking up the Hong Kong one on ebay.

I'd thought I'd read the German item was German only (maybe a differnet forum). There are multiple reviews in Amazon.de that seems to confirm the 2D and 3D have only German audio and subtitles.


The Hong Kong appears to have English as well as a couple other languages plus is Region A just for a bonus. DDDHouse appears to have for about $19.50 shipped. DDDHouse has a weird listing that makes it look like a DVD, but I think that's a quick of that site. The description certainly indicates Bluray 3D

I bought the Hong Kong release from DDDHouse - it is English friendly - no forced subtitles. Good depth and a cute film.

Did you get it from dddhouse or yesasia? Either way, do you remember the approx shipping time
I've been either putting off or forgetting about this title for 2 years it seems

DDDHouse - took about 1 week.
Bought this, a region free TS Spivet and Robinson Crusoe.
The first two were definitely worth importing.

[hariseldon]

I have the last 2 already -- Spivet from a recent Amazon.de sale and Robinson Crusoe/The Wild Life from Amazon.de from a couple years ago during a sale. Placed an order with DDDHouse overnight.

I did notice an Amazon.it version which is just a little cheaper and appears to have English Audio tracks as well. Amazon.it shipping has always been spotty for me so $1.50 extra and I'll try Hong Kong first.

Purchased on ebay yesterday. Should have purchased from dddhouse for the better price.

So the French BD has some burnt in subtitles and the songs by Camille is in French regardless of English/French audio being selected.

Can anyone who owns the Hong Kong release confirm whether the songs are sung in French or English?

Also I’m curious if there are any animation differences between the versions. On Netflix all the signs are in English but small text like the calendar or the pages of the book are rendered in French. On the French BD is all in-world text in French or English?

You've answered your own question. Think about it. There wouldn't be any need for forced subtitles on the French version if all the in-world text was in French.

This is an interesting one because it's a french story made in a French studio but technically (as I understand) made primarily as an English language film?

It's very common for CGI animation blurays to have branching playback where they have separate chapter files for sections with in world text so they can replace it with a render with different localisations. This is increasingly common and utilised more and more.

If the Netflix version has English for some stuff but French for the rest that would suggest to me that in world text is all French by default but with some stuff animated in English when it is very relevant to the plot.

Does the French BD have French text for the English in world text parts seen during the Netflix version?

As for your actual question, I have the DDDhouse version, but I'm too lazy to dig out the box to check right now. I was planning to watch it soon, so if I remember I'll report back!

Also, for anyone who is interested it is on sale at $13.67 right now at dddhouse. This is a must own 3D bluray IMO.

It looks like Paramount is finally distributing it in the US but only on BD, no 3D version for pre-order so far...

But maybe the new release will have some new bonus features since it seems Mark Osbourne was pushing for it.

If you can play Region B, I grabbed this one from Rarewaves for $8 Canadian with free shipping. It’s the Italian edition and has an awesome slipcover also.

Great to see its getting a 2d release, but quite frankly 3d is the only way to fly with this movie...it is that quality. I got it from DDDhouse at the start of the pandemic. Go get it!!!

[Blu-Ray 3D President]

Which version has English subtitle? Can't see a US version also.

[vinnie97]

The one at DDDHouse does.

[Blu-Ray 3D President]

^ Cool! Thanks!

[vinnie97]

I'm having Paypal errors when trying to order from DDDHouse, so if that's just not related to a problem with my acct, it could spell trouble for others as well.

Hi Vinny, hope there isn't a problem with DDD house because even with shipping their prices are great on the Asian titles compared to other sites.
