If this was the last week of 2005 and friday was January 1st then it's be next year but that's not the case here.

I just got in the mail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Today!!!!!!!!!

Finally you received yours jennawolf, I hope you enjoy it a lot, because you waited a long time to watch it

That's kool.

Thanks, I will enjoy it, I love the documentary & the Balto film, its so cool!!

I think i ordered mines 4 months ago, dont know when it will be here, probably is never gonna, come. At least it wasnt my money i used to buy it

I did manage to get the widescreen though, only without the documentary.

you can download the documentary in the site.

Hi!
Thanks for your information and articles on this site. I didn't realize that the Region 1 and 2 versions are different. Can't remember why I got the Region 1 version (I live in the UK) maybe it was the only one available at the time

I was wondering, are all Region 2 DVDs widescreen and with the documentary included?
Just wondering because Play.com and Amazon.co.uk has it but with a different cover to the one shown in the article here (matches the VHS cover which I prefer) and I didn't see a mention of the Extras included unless I missed it. So I can't tell.

Thanks for any help.

As far as I know, there is no Balto DVD that has the same cover as the VHS one. All region 2 DVDs have the same cover, which is the one shown in my first post of this topic. (I also like the vhs one better, but we haven't got much choice unfortunately...)
It's strange that you got the region 1 DVD in UK, because you may not have been able to play it since it's not the same region.
Yes, all region 2 DVDs are widescreen and have the documentary, and they all have the english soundtrack too.

Thats strange then. I've found quite a few places listing the DVD but with the VHS cover... I guess they were just too lazy to get the new cover. Yeah I love the VHS cover, it's got beautiful artwork and a powerful composition.



I probably ordered it from Amazon.com years ago. The US probably got it released first so I maybe ordered it when it was first out.
I have a multi-region DVD player so its not a problem, such players are commonly sold here as far as I know. And also I think our TVs can usually play both NTSC and PAL. I've read that the UK, Australia and other places is more easy-going with regard to such things. But that in America etc. its almost impossible to watch stuff with a different region encoding.



Oh good, I hope so. Can't find any of these listings of the DVD with the VHS cover mentioning the documentary or being widescreen... I guess I'll find out when I order.

Thanks so much for your great help, I really appreciate it!
