So the chances of this release being region free are slim to none

I would say none, it will be the same disc for sure.

 

[Naughtius Maximus]

aww it's not region free? that sucks, I've always assumed Disney releases were region free....

Look at the first releases in FS... (Bambi, Sleeping Beauty, NBC etc) i had to bloomin replace all those locked discs with UK ones! ;(

my play.com order is still processing in warehouse but i just checked the stock on play with the normal method: add 999 to basket then press update and it reckons that there is just 198 left. Perhaps this may stay OOS on zavvi

Disney UK, the *** of Disney Cooperation.

By the way, is the inside art even from the movie? It's been so long since I've see TJB, so I dunno if that was from the movie or its cheapqual.....

i think hope will die

I'm surprised still no back art. I reakon it will be a continuation of the leaves and trees. But personally want an image like Mowgli in the barrel or kaa wrapped around him. Something like that. Or something with bagheera.... Just realised no bagheera!

Yes it is from the movie. Not seen it for a while but can (worryingly) remember it from start to finish. Favourite ever disney film!
Got a bit of excess anger going on here! Calm down not totally sure what disney uk have done thats shockingly bad. Lots of firms release region locked discs. Nothing new, with dvd nearly every film was regionlocked, blu rays are much better in general but still plenty in uk nd usa, canada and more that are locked.

haha fair enough, I'll probably have to do same now with NA discs

 

[ABjerg]

Just ordered one.

I didn't have to pay for it so it's all good. or else I probably wouldn't have ordered.

$37.30 is a pretty high premium to pay for a steelbook most can't open and watch imo

It's not Disney's or Zavvi's fault that some people are too lazy/tight to acquire a region free player. Since the majority of Steelbooks come from Europe, it makes sense for our International friends to make the outlay and grab a region free player.

Very true. I have no sympathy at all. I do hate region coding, but I understand why it is done. Region free players can be dirt cheap and even the standard Oppo's arn't exactly that expensive, especially when some steelbooks can be upwards of $50-60!!

 

[Outlaw1986]

I like to stay away from the non region A ones. And if I would have known this wasn't going to region free like most other Disney titles I would have passed. Now I'm stuck with a movie I can't watch and it is to much a hassle to return all the way to Europe.

 

[townterrier]

So the order page on Zavvi.com shows despatched, but I never got a shipment email. Is that a problem? Anybody else get this?

Did you check your "Junk" box?

Mine used to end up in there.....

 

[adrenaline78]

region coding = no problem! =)
