Goblin King/Abracadabra-Doo double feature

[scoob16]

Amazon.ca lists this double feature of Goblin King and Abracadabra-Doo for September 1, but there's still no cover available.

Amazon.com however doesn't list anyhting like this. Maybe it's a release only for Canada?

Well I think so. They say so pretty much: "Region: Region 1 (US and Canada This DVD will probably NOT be viewable in other countries."

Looks like it will be also available in the US.

And I guess they release them as a double feature because of their similar theme: magic.
Doubt though that they will be in widescreen. Surely just the transferred discs from the original DVDs.

Well, it's a neat pack for someone that doesn't have either of the movies.

Not really, both movies are still cropped to full screen, rather than been presented in widescreen. It is just another pointless re-release, with no changes to the content.

I haven't seen either of them.

On a Looney Tunes forum I'm on, we usually refer to those re-releases as "double dips." Remember "Scooby-Doo and Friends," how it was just a repackaging of the "What's New Scooby-Doo" Volume 1 DVD?

[Ark]

Yeah. Double dipping is super lame.

Well if it's anything like the Zombie Island/Alien Invaders double feature, it's a good bit cheaper than either of the movies on their own, which is a neat pack for someone who doesn't have either movie.
