Could you fill me in just a little more about the upcoming DVD from Disney pertaining to Disneyland. You listed four of the shows that will be on the DVD but I was curious if there is going to be any shows on this DVD pertaining to the Golden Horseshoe? Also, do you have any idea of the running time of this DVD? It's about time that they released some of the old shows about Disneyland and the making of DL. I can't wait.

Well Steve, I can’t wait either. Unfortunately, I have no further information right now. I’m just as curious as you are about the episode and feature lists on each of the volumes, but we’ll have to hold on for a bit. As soon as I get any additional information, I’ll post it.

In addition to the Buena Vista Home Entertainment news last week, I came across some other interesting news about several interesting summer DVD releases from Warner Home Video (WHV). There wasn’t a lot of detail about the individual titles, so I’ve summarized the information for you:

On June 12, WHV will release the IMAX(R) hits "The Dream Is Alive" and "Blue Planet," and each title will be available on DVD for $19.98 SRP.

"Earning more than $200 million at the box office to date and narrated by Walter Cronkite, the popular IMAX film "The Dream Is Alive" takes viewers into space alongside a group of astronauts as they orbit the Earth over the towering Andes, the boot of Italy, Egypt and the Nile.

Hitting stores at the same time will be the critically acclaimed, $70 million IMAX hit "Blue Planet," which presents a unique view of our world from 200 miles above the earth's surface. The film shows how natural forces (volcanoes, earthquakes and hurricanes) affect our world and how a powerful new force, humankind, has begun to alter the face of the planet."

Then, on July 3, WHV will explore the world of dinosaurs with the re-promotion of the Emmy Award-winning documentary from BBC Home Video, "Walking with Dinosaurs," the release of its sequel, "Allosaurus: A Walking with Dinosaurs Special," and the release of IMAX’s "T-Rex: Back to the Cretaceuous."

"Walking with Dinosaurs" will be available on DVD for $34.98 SRP. "T-Rex: Back to the Cretaceous" will be available on DVD for $19.98 SRP. "Allosaurus: A Walking with Dinosaurs Special" "Allosaurus" will be available on DVD for $14.98 SRP.

"State- of- the- art digital effects and animatronics combine to create life- like, virtual dinosaurs in the highest- rated cable documentary ever, "Walking with Dinosaurs," and its powerful sequel, "Allosaurus: A Walking with Dinosaurs Special."

Seen by an estimated 80 million households during its April 8 Discovery Channel premiere, "Allosaurus: A Walking with Dinosaurs Special" tells the moving story of the life and death struggle of Big Al, the most complete Allosaurus skeleton ever found. The program also takes viewers behind-the-scenes to show how scientists have been able to trace this incredible life story.

Earning more than $59 million in worldwide box office since its theatrical release in 1998 and seen by more than 11 million people, IMAX's critically acclaimed "T-Rex: Back to the Cretaceous." Dinosaurs are very much alive -- at least in the mind of teenager Ally Hayden. When a museum accident transports Ally on an adventure back in time to explore the terrain and territory of life-size dinosaurs, she is thrust -- literally -- nose-to-nose with the largest and most realistic dinosaur ever to appear on a movie screen: the fearsome, 20-foot tall, 15-ton Tyrannosaurus Rex!"

In other miscellaneous news, I’ve seen a couple of questions floating around the net about School House Rock! arriving on DVD, and I can confirm that Buena Vista will release a collection in August 2001. So far, the only information I have is from the little coupon booklet that was in The Emperor’s New Groove DVD, and unfortunately, the release month is about it. I’m trying to get some more details on this, and I’ll let you know as soon as I find something.

That's it for now, but stay tuned for more!
