My next Blu-ray Showcase videos will be the 4K release of Cinderella and the 60th Anniversary edition of Alice in Wonderland. I want to make those before I cover the 4K release of Alice when it comes out (now available to preorder).
I apologize if it seems like I'm only making Showcase videos right now. I got extremely burned out last year. Especially since I had to take more classes than usual for the last two semesters, few of them were very demanding and ate up a lot of my time. DVD and Blu-ray Showcases are much easier for me to make since they're non-scripted and require very little editing, which is why you've been seeing more of them right now. It was the only way I could keep this channel somewhat active and keep earning ad revenue. Since I don't have to take a summer semester this year, hopefully this means I can get back to making other video styles soon but only time will tell.
Also before anyone asks, yes I am aware that "The Big D" has laid off the home entertainment staff. I personally refuse to go into detail about it since every discussion I've read about it has been nothing but speculation, some of it (I'll admit) makes me extremely depressed. All we really know is that Disney on physical media will at least still be a thing.
While I much prefer the way Professor Coldheart looks in the TV specials, I do love how the Kenner figure adds a collar around the back of his head. I think it makes Coldheart look more wicked, and gives him a more threatening aura than he already has. So I edited some screenshots to give you an idea of what an animated version would look like with the collar.
They've officially announced the 4K release of Alice in Wonderland today. It'll be released in North America on May 5.
Screenshots of the 4K remaster do exist. From what I've seen, it looks amazing. The remaster will also be screened at the TCM Film Festival on May 1.
Alice isn't one of my favorite Disney films, but I'm happy to see another Walt-era film get a high quality remaster treatment. Erasing the mistakes that were made on the old Blu-ray releases in the process.
The Japanese Disney website announced that a brand new restoration of Alice in Wonderland will be released on 4K Blu-ray on June 3rd. No announcements have been made for other countries yet, though we might get one soon.
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie took everything I loved about previous film and made it even BETTER.
My favorite part was pointing out all the references, cameos, and music motifs. There were a few genuine surprises that were not mentioned in promotional materials, but I won't spoil them for you. I watched it with my parents, and my mother also loved it. Although she hated Baby Mario and Baby Luigi and didn't like the way Yoshi was textured.
Chris Pratt's performance as Mario has improved so much compared to how he sounded three years ago, he sounds much more in-the-role than he was three years ago. Jack Black still nails it as Bowser, and still has some of the best lines in the film. Glen Powell did an amazing job capturing Fox McCloud's charisma that the character has in the Star Fox games.
People always like to dog on The Super Mario Bros. Movie for being fast paced, which I personally had no problem with but understand the desire to flesh out characters more. Luckily, the Galaxy Movie's pacing is not nearly as fast as its predecessor. Hope this makes some fans happy. The story itself is more developed than its predecessor, not only do we dive deeper into Peach's backstory but we also get to see a bit of character development for Bowser. There were also some story elements in the film that reminded me of a few episodes from The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3, such as when Mario and Luigi took over the Mushroom Kingdom while Peach and Toad are away (Reign Storm) or when Mario, Luigi, and Toad turned into babies (Toddler Terrors of Time Travel).
All the new characters introduced were really entertaining, and behaved exactly how I imagined they be. The return of Wart and Mouser was awesome, even if they don't get a lot of screen time. There was even a joke about R.O.B.'s slow movement that caught me off guard, which made it very accurate to how the real toy moves.
Trust me, this movie is way better than everyone says it is. The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is a worthy successor that improves upon the original film in everyway, and it left me wanting more. It's almost as if this film was personally made with me specifically. While the Blu-ray and 4K release is now up pre-order, I still highly recommend you go see it in theaters. It's out of this world!

Looks like we are getting a Blu-ray release after all. Now if only Warner Archive could do this with Cartoon Network's HD shows.
