Got a new Blu-ray drive for Christmas yesterday and inserted the US DVD to check the runtime today. It's 100:00 NTSC.

The DVD comparison page for Alice in Wonderland: An X-Rated Musical Fantasy (1976) only has 3 DVDs listed. I would like it if the 2024 Impulse Pictures DVD was added for comparison.

I am looking to updating the specs for the bonus films on the Blu-rays. I have the specs for the 70th anniversary edition bonus disc, but I'm looking for the specs for the 75th anniversary edition bonus disc. If you have the disc could you list the specs for the bonus films?
I will list the specs ...

The Blu-ray 4K page for The Wizard of Oz (1939) doesn't have the US and UK 85th Anniversary Theater Edition releases listed for comparison yet. Could these releases be added, please? Thanks.

Only the Blu-ray releases of Trolls (2016) have a comparison page. Can a Blu-ray 4K comparison page be added?

I calculated the runtimes in the combined films even though they're not separated. I apologize, I shouldn't have done that.

There are several mistakes on the Return to Oz (1985) DVD page.

The Holland and UK releases have their audio tracks listed as "Digital 2.0 Surround" when they should be Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround.

Also, the copyright year is a typo. It should be 1985, not 1885.

Thanks,

According to DVD Beaver, the 1999 US Warner DVD of The Matrix runs at 136:13.

Does anyone have a comparison for the 1982 Toho version of The Wizard of Oz on DVD by IDG Poland? It's the only official DVD release of it so far.

According to IMDb, the DVDs of The Muppets' Wizard of Oz (2005) contain an extended version that is 20 minutes longer than the TV version. AFAIK, the TV version has never been released on home video or streaming.
And no, I don't know how long the DVDs' runtimes are. I've yet to dig out my retail ...

but the fact remains they're now fairer and more consistent than at any point in history

That's false. Copyright with no competition between studios and the public and no noncommercial, nonprofit distribution of fanmade material (like custom-made Blu-ray Discs and DVDs - and ISO files of and case ...

This listing footnote is completely false: the film has never been in the public domain anywhere. To enter the US public domain in 1985, it would have to have been released in 1957 and not had its copyright re-registered after the statutory 28-year term had expired.

The film's US copyright doesn't ...

The copyright status notes has the following text:
This film has been copyrighted everywhere in the world except in the US, where it fell into the public domain from 1985-2000. Afterward, the rights were renewed in 2001 by Screen Media Ventures.

The DVD transfer of Journey Back to Oz (1974) is actually a PAL-to-NTSC transfer, since the original film elements were destroyed by Hallmark (one of the former rightsholders), who allegedly hated Filmation's library. The former UK rightsholders did a sped-up PAL version of the digital file for the ...

Every DVD of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005) contains the theatrical cut. Every Blu-ray (and the HD-DVD) of the movie contains a slightly extended cut.
