This was posted at the ultimatedisney.com boards; it's a listing of the video segments on the second disc, apparently from the British Board of Film Classification:

Do you know if all those songs going to be animated? Or are we just going to have audio there?

I'd guess the music and storyboards, like with the TLK cut songs. I'm not sure PoYB is even getting new animation anymore... Confused

Those Disney channel brats aren't going to singing 'A Whole New World'?! YAY! Whoever made that decision, two thumbs way, way up. I much rather have Jessica and Nick sing it. *dances* Now let's hope they don't screw it up
*gets baseball bat out*

It looks like I am going to be busy October 5th. I might even take a day off from college just to play around on the DVD. What's more important? Schooling of stuff I know already, or playing around with special edition features that are new?

Were they actually taken off? Or just not mentioned recently?

I know my classes that day won't start til 10 am, so I'll be sitting at the doors to Best Buy when they open. Then I can carry the gift set box around in my backpack all day. At least I can enjoy it by osmosis since I won't be done with class to watch it until 6 pm. Sad

Well....uh...I don't know. That's a good question. Nuts. Just when my hopes were up, evil doubt pops up. All I know is, they aren't mentioned in the afore above and I am happy.

As for the classes thing, that's sad. I'll be sure to play with the DVD a few times that day just for you Wink

Nick and Jessica: Yeah! Much better than the Disney Channel squirts!

I have two copies of the DVD pre-ordered (Disney Store and Giftset), so I hope I get them on the day it comes out! They're both on express shipping.

Let me guess, you got the DVD from the store online because of the little beanies that come with it and the gift set for all the other good stuff?

I'm tempted to wait and see if they're coming out with the trilogy box set on this side of the pond. Twisted Evil

Maybe we'll at least get a case for them, like they did for Beauty and the Beast.

Iago beanie in Disney Store DVD version, Iago drawing in Giftset. Hmm, I don't know what to think. It's simply baffling.

Don't wait. If Disney releases a trilogy box set, they will not include anything new in it that you can't buy seperately. Also, the trilogy set will not be available with the Aladdin collector's box. When/if the box set comes, it will feature the standard Aladdin Platinum DVD along with the sequels and a cardboard box around them. That's all.

And obviously it's your choice, but personally? I'd rather have the gift set and the DVD on October 5 than wait for a year (maximum, look how long it took TLK2 to come back out -- end of August -- after TLK last October) and get just the DVDs and no gift set stuff.

Well, in that case... Wink

I never bought the BatB box set, so I don't know how these things work. Confused
