Who Framed Roger Rabbit SE - DVDfile.com forum for DVD, Blu-Ray, and HD-DVD

According to thedigitalbits.com (and maybe it's been reported here, though I didn't see it), Buena Vista is working on a Special Edition of Who Framed Roger Rabbit to replace the incredibly assy non-anamorphic we-hate-DVD release they originally did back ye olden days.

Though I hold out hope that this edition will be as special as Buena Vista's other special editions lately (or maybe a Vista series), I still have to say that, if they edit anything out of it, I'm not gonna buy it.

This was originally a PG-rated film from Touchstone, NOT a G-rated film from Walt Disney. If parents have a problem with a grown man who looks like a baby looking up someone's skirt, perhaps it's an ideal time to tell Junior Six Pack "Now you know you're not supposed to do that, right?"

Personally, I'll even shut up if they have two separate releases ala the American Pie editions, or 4 if they decide to a G-rated P&S, G-rated widescreen, PG P&S & PS Widescreen. But for the sake of film history, the original cut should be preserved and available for viewing SOMEWHERE.

On AMC, they make a big deal out of preserving the history of film, and then there's a company like Buena Vista who bastardize their history constantly for the sake of a few more ducats in the corporate treasure chest.

What's mor perplexing is that the same company who kowtows to the pressure to "sanitize" their product has one of the most liberal policies concerning their employees, re: employment benefits for same-sex partners.

I hope they do the right thing. I'd like to have this, but it'd only be a definite purchase if it were intact.

Ditto. I'll buy it if it's not altered, or there are two different versions avaliable. This altering for political correctness stuff is insane.

edited= no purchase for me

I agree with everyone else, either the orginal or nutin

If it's a new decent transfer and is loaded with extras, I'll pick it up. I'd prefer if it was unedited as well, though.

No editing

AND NO FUCKING CENSORSHIP PERIOD :rar:

I'd prefer it uneditted, but seriously if they release a version with the baby part missing (which is like 4 seconds of footage) I'll still buy it. I think it totally blows Mickey's ass if they release it edited but I want this movie no matter what.
