It won't be probably because there's a lot of overlap with the 45-minute "Making of" documentary. That said, I would've liked for that special to have been included partly for archival purposes (I don't trust Peacock to have it forever) and partly because the hosting segments with the cast are super charming, especially a moment where they play back a message they left for themselves on day one of filming. Hopefully when the inevitable mega set containing both parts comes, we get a bonus disc containing this and other content.

If I ever see someone needlessly burning their money for no reason, I'll be sure to let them know

As in you feel like your first impression is wrong? That you're missing out for not enjoying it?

I'm all for giving movies a second chance, I've just never heard that approach before of buying a movie on physical that you didn't like the first go around. Though I respect it!

Do you think there’s a chance that Universal may double dip at some point and release an extended edition of part one? Since the release of some of the deleted scenes, there seems to be a big online outcry for an extended edition for what was deleted to be restored back into the film. And they did not release all the stuff that they deleted from the final product so there is a lot of unseen footage that’s out there still that I feel like Universal could make money off of by releasing an extended cut either before the release of part two or right after. The demand would definitely be there and I think that they would make a profit off of it.

Yeah I did. I didn't even know that theatrical poster or the edit existed.

While I'm not sure whether or not it was an intentional slight of Erivo, her reaction was just...oof.

OP 1, Cynthia Erivo 0.

The Wizard of Oz (UHD and BD discs, possible because Warner and Universal have a shared distributor in SDS)
Exclusive Bonus Disc (BD)
Soundtracks of Oz and Wicked (BD-Audio single disc, '39, Broadway Wicked and Movie Wicked)

Hardcover copy of the original Wizard of Oz and Wicked novels
Theater play script for Wicked (paperback)
Publicity stills for all three included films
Fold-out poster for Wicked Part 2

I'd gladly spend $120 on such a set.

If The Wizard Of Oz has lossless or uncompressed mono on both discs this will be the most shameless double dip in my life.

Is the sing-along going to be in 1080p only like the MA release? Or will it be in Dolby Vision this time?

On Apple, it’s HDR10+. On MA, it is indeed just HD.

LOL. At 2:40 for one half of the Broadway musical it's already extended.

Note those deleted scenes have tons of unfinished VFX. The director deleted them for a reason.

I think that's a possibility. Maybe after Part Two releases and audiences need a reason to double dip on the first film. There's also speculation that some of the unseen footage might be saved for flashbacks in Part Two.

Thanks for the info, will definitely repeatedly check the bookmark until release. If no luck, I guess the slipcover standard 4K will do.

Reading this got me really interested in seeing it. Not the biggest musical fan (saw Wonka during the holidays and found it decent)
But I want to give it a try. I love movies with great production, real big sets etc.

Amazon says my pre-order is coming June 4 despite the February 4 release date. Anyone else?

Or.. you are listening to a Youtube smuck that probably doesn't know what they're saying?

Don't we ever learn never to give them any thought?

Well, he has decent knowledge on the audio front and has the tools/gears to make a fair assessment.

As usual, YMMV.
