I ran to Wal-Mart at 2:30 a.m. to snatch this up as soon as I got off work, lol...
OMG...
I--I had no idea the DVD would be THIS spectacular!!
Okay, first of all I was under the impression that the US version wouldn't contain all the extras which are on the European version; Alex hooked me up wit' 'dat 'un a while back, and I watched all the extras on muh 'puter.
But, it DOES have all the same extras! This surprised me since nowhere had I seen ALL of those extras listed for the US release---just most of 'em (the 1995 trailer is pretty cool---but it never went to any theaters that I know of!)
---------------
DVD---Okay, I know that DVDs have superb audio and video quality, but JEEZ---this is just astounding!! I particularly noticed how cleaned up the sound was. The audio has amazing clarity.
SB is my favorite film of all time (not only Disney), and as often as I've seen it, even I noticed some audial things I'd never picked up on before! (example: When Maleficent captures Phillip in the cottage, I don't recall hearing his grunts and "mmph!"s before)
And, of course, the colors are just as brilliant. It's all so superior I--I feel like I've never really experienced the film until now...man, is this wonderful...
AND THERE'S AN AUDIO COMMENTARY!!! WHY IS THIS NEVER MENTIONED ANYWHERE?!
Not even anywhere on the covers or inserts is this included! ?! If I were gonna go to the trouble to include an audio commentary for a film, I think I'd be sure to promote that!
My only gripe is this whole PINK mess---they have Aurora in pink ALL OVER the disc inserts, booklets, and case; just makes me irate.
The most grating thing is perhaps the front cover, since she was in BLUE when awakened (and practically the entire time she was in the dress anyway).
----------------
But, I digress...I just had an ecstatic 3 hours watchin' the film and goin' through most o' the extras, and tomorrow I'll watch it with the commentary (weeee!!) and finish up the few other extras---if I didn't have to go to work today, I'd finish it all!
Oh yeah, and I was supposed to finally meet Mary Costa this month, but because of the release she has a SLEW of interviews, trips, etc. she has to do, so our meeting is now postponed to who knows when.
But she reinforced that we will meet "one of these days"! <:-D Hopefully by the end o' the year...we'll see. 
I hope a few other Disney fans definitely get this 2-disc set..."Sleeping Beauty" fans UNITE!!

I'm glad the DVD was worth the wait, Byron!!!! Sounds terrific. I don't know how soon I'll be getting it because now I'm saving up all my money for the Simon and Garfunkel concert that will probably be in another state and will probably break the bank.... But I will get it! Now that I'm working at Walden's I have a nice Border's discount, so I'll probably snatch it up there. That's really cool that it has all those extras. And what is it with the pink???? I'm with you. Blue all the way!!!! 
It's a bummer you don't get to meet Mary Costa this month, but that makes sense that she's swamped. I guess the extra anticipation will make the meeting extra nice! 
) I know, and I call myself a student of animation and everything....And it's such a beautifully done film....I've jut never gotten to see it all the way through.
