The case proclaims that film has been fully restored and remastered, but that would appear to just repeat the old edition's information. As has been true of most of this year's Disney reissues, comparisons revealed no difference in picture and sound between this DVD and the previous one. Next, we get a 70-second video of a David Tomlinson "Portobello Road" recording session. Although the clip is clearly staged for publicity purposes, there's something sad about seeing a gray-haired, clean-shaven Tomlinson delivering a single slow verse for conductor Irwin Kostal. Roddy McDowall as Mr. Rowan Jelk, the local clergyman. Deleted scenes reveal Mr. Jelk to be interested in marrying Miss Price, largely for her property. This Enchanted Musical Edition registers as a disappointment. The feature presentation is the same mixed-bag reconstruction of the previous DVD, with the tauter theatrical cut still not offered. More surprisingly, the release offers a pretty blatant downgrade in the bonus features department. The one all-new addition plays like an extended and inappropriate promo for "Wizards of Waverly Place"; for a far better piece on Disney visual effects, you need only look to the recent reissue of Pete's Dragon. That an art gallery, film facts, bonus shorts, and half of the Sherman Brothers featurette from Bedknobs' 30th Anniversary Edition DVD are dropped in favor of "Wizards" and Blu-ray promotion is a pretty good indication that a 2-disc set was called for. Plus, what a missed opportunity to catch up with Angela Lansbury and the kids. When the film was reissued theatrically on April 13, 1979, an additional twenty minutes of footage were deleted.

As the introductory scroll lifted directly from the 25th Anniversary Edition laserdisc explains, the reconstruction of "A Step in the Right Direction" (3:45) is the best way to enjoy this deleted song unless the discarded full footage is ever unearthed. Angela Lansbury's recording of the song is heard, while a slideshow of still photographs gives us a good idea of how the Lansbury-plus-broom number would have looked. The full negative aspect ratio is 1.37:1. Movie theaters would have received the 1.37:1 version and then been asked to project it at the intended theatrical ratio of 1.66:1 as seen on DVD. The VHS and Laserdisc aspect ratios are pan and scan 1.33:1. It seems that Disney choose to go with the original theatrical ratio on some films and then the negative ratio with the others, even cropping slightly on some releases just to match a 1.78:1 HD 1080p TV screen. It would be nice if they were a bit more consistent (like putting both the full negative or animation ratio, along with the original theatrical ratio on Blu-ray). Anyway, here goes...

But Disney arrived at a presentation running 139 minutes with new restoration credits. This was the version used on the movie's first DVD release (2001's 30th Anniversary Edition). It is used again on next week's new DVD, the dopily-titled Enchanted Musical Edition.I agree Wonderlicious- it would be nice to have access to both the theatrical and 25th/30th Anniversary versions on Blu-ray. Weinrib also voices Secretary Bird, a prim and proper type who is King Leonidas's secretary, and often bears the brunt of the King's outbursts.
