Not that I’m holding out high hopes or anything, but any idea if they’ll be Japanese language versions again? I _still_ haven’t gotten to see that in theaters.

No idea about a Japanes theatrical version. BTW in answer to your earlier question there is a Japanese track on the DVD.

According to this Jack Mathews article SA will get a 750-wide release which sounds pretty decent. Unfortunately the re-release may mean a delay for the DVD. I suspect ,though, it won’t be delayed for too long because Disney will want to use the buzz from the theatrical release and Oscars to help DVD sales. I suspect that the DVD sales will still be chief money maker but getting millions of new people who have seen the theatrical version should help there as well.
