This totally sucks. There is also a separate announcement for Snoopy Come Home on Blu Ray, when in fact you can get both of these on the same Blu Ray from Australia. If memory serves correct, the disc is also Region Free.

Another of hundreds of good reasons to be/become region-free.

I can live with them being on separate discs just so long as the picture of ABNCB isn't stretched like it is on the Australian disc.

When did Universal get the rights to the Peanuts films? Last time I looked aren't all of their films all Paramount features?

I hope they don't mess these up.

Not only did the Australian release stretch a 4:3 picture to 16:9 proportions for one of the two, but the opening Cinema Center Films logo was missing despite being intact on the DVD's.

And of course there's the legacy DVD issue with their aspect ratio. Not even talking so much about the open matte deal, but the fact that they screwed up the widescreen presentation which resulted in multiple issues (Which is most noticeable with the openings and credits of each movie that were windowboxed 4:3 just to ensure that nothing was cut off due to their poor framing).

If we're not to be given the option of logical choice of widescreen and open matte presentations on the same disc for these two relatively short movies, at least get the widescreen presentation correct like they seemingly later did for the last two films on DVD where nothing ever felt off.
