Definitely a more impressive image from what looks like the same source material, but it's definitely an improvement IMO over the old Studio Canal disc. (I only bought it because JBhifi was having that 20% sale and I liked the cover art lol).

Is this the same disc that was available in 2010? Or is it a new edition altogether? JBhifi and EzyDVD seem to indicate it was new to 2013.

Personally I never saw the old version in stores. Is the release date correct? I did have it in my collection but only because the other version had not been added to the db at that stage.
