A tribute or memorandum is almost guaranteed to be on there now, but I almost feel like Disney is gonna hold on to that footage even more and keep it to themselves because the value of it just went up by a ton.

Totally! I'd love to see that.

I think they did a good job with the 2004 DVD--I still watch some features now.

[Salukfan]

It just struck me that with the success of the stage show, we might get some features about the Ashman-version of the film on the blu ray. Given that the musical takes quite a bit from it (and even more in pre-Broadway versions), it certainly a possibility. I'd like to hear some more about how Babkak, Omar, and Kassim were going to be used, plus the dynamic of the two genies. It'd be fascinating, IMO.

I'm pretty happy with the 2004 DVD. I definitely agree that they need to do the series; it's overdue.

Only thing I'd really want is alllll the Robin Williams footage but that's not gonna happen And maybe some stuff pertaining to the Broadway musical?

[Meesh]

I mayyyyyyy or may not have downloaded every single episode into my iTunes...

Bud doesn't bother me - I just imagine that Odiferons grow super quickly, like ubermen or something.

On topic, I'm not a huge BluRay fan and probably wouldn't buy it unless it had special features. What would those be? Eh, the first DVD pretty much covered it. More interviews, deleted scenes, storyboards, rough recordings, and production videos maybe!

I know it's highly unlikely, but actually animating and having the original cast voice a deleted scene or song (ala "Human Again") could be really cool.

Oh, I'd absolutely love to have the series released and/or put up on sites like Netflix for viewing. Problem is, it's never gonna happen.

I feel like the only logical order for the series is the production order, which avoids the major inconsistencies we find in the aired order. As for Bud, he makes perfect sense if you support the idea that the series might take place over a shit ton of time. I think Heather once broke it down to between three and five years for the series, possibly, with most of the episodes taking place in the last year or so? They be busy. My headcanon is locked in the idea of a three-year time span between the original film and KOT.

Not that I'm opposed to the idea of simply moving the Bud episode to another point to make everything tighter time-wise. It makes some sense.

To be honest I'd much rather the TV series finally be released (preferably by Shout! Factory, they do top quality work).

The movies have had their VHS/DVD releases in the past, while maybe like a handful of episodes from the TV series have made it onto VHS tapes (and even then those tapes weren't even advertised, so the general public doesn't really know about them at all).

I'd LOVE for the episodes on the DVD to be placed in logical, chronological order, rather than production code order. Also an even splitting of the first 77 episodes of the series (I say 77 rather than 78 because of the Bud issue , the Bud episode should go into the '95 CBS season episodes instead). Have the first 38 episodes of the series be packaged as "Season 1" in the boxset (with the syndicated version of the theme song being the theme song for those episodes), the next 39 episodes of the series be packaged as "Season 2" in the boxset (with the '94 CBS version of the theme song being the theme song for those episodes), and the final 9 episodes of the series be packaged as "Season 3" in the boxset (of course having the '95 CBS version of the theme song).

At some point, Aladdin's going to show up on BluRay (who the hell knows when, but still ) What would you guys like to see on the disc?

First of all, I'd be really happy to have everything from the DVD set ported over, because it's all so fantastic. Esp. the stuff with Gilbert on the second disc, it kills me. Plus, those commentaries are fantastic. I mean, it'd be cool if they'd do a new commentary, but if they didn't for Beauty and the Beast or Lion King, they certainly won't for us.

I kind of wish they'd do some updated footage of the voice cast for the new release, and feature some more interviews? Maybe show some footage of Linda and Lea getting their Legend Awards?

I figure there's also going to be some stuff about the Broadway show on the disc, so I'd like to see some interviews with the creative team there and possibly the actors? Esp. Jonathan, for joy of having him be Jafar for 20+ years.

Finally, if at all possible, some footage with Robin Williams would be nice to have. No idea where he and Disney stand now, but if possible, it'd be neat. Maybe just some more of his outtakes?

I'd also like to see some better features on the BluRays for RoJ and KoT, but lol like that will happen. If nothing else, could they at least fix the aspect ratio for KOT? Thinking about that DVD still infuriates me.
