"Not a review that basically gives the entire plot though."
What does this mean? I stated that the TITLE of the film was irrelevant in terms of the fact that this NEW edition was released just THIS WEEK, and that's what warrants a review -- if you read DVD reviews all over the internet, you will see even titles of this vintage given a complete -- and I mean COMPLETE -- plot review like was done here, regardless of the fact that it has been done before because of the film's age. Look on Home Theater Forum.com and such; they go over the plots of films just as deeply for those that were re released on the DVD format in new editions. That's how a reviewer does it.
"All I want to know about with a rerelease DVD is a quick synopsis and whether or not the new transfer is better than the original release"
That's YOU, but official reviews give more than that.
"which according to this review it is."
Yes, it is, which I stated on and am passionate about because the video improvements are night and day on this transfer; thank you for taking the time to read the review, by the way. I hope it helped your buying decision.
"I might pick it up because I never bothered to buy the original release; I though it looked like crap, so at least they made some improvements."
The original release was one of Disney's WORST non anamorphic discs; pick this version up....except for the ridiculous added scenes, its well worth it.
