| Posted: | | | | Go to www.sonypictures.com/bluray and type in "Peter Pan". Nothing there. I don't think this is an official US release. I looked at some of my Sony BR titles and none have the amount of audio tracks this disc has.
There is a discussion over this going on at Blu-ray.com found here. http://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=50172&page=3
The guy in post #46 has the one sold at Amazon and he thinks this is a Chinese disc.
It also looks like "Peter Pan" should be a Universal release in the US, at least that's who released the DVD. | | | Last edited: by TheDarkKnight |

| Posted: | | | | The cover posted clearly shows that it says not for sale outside the US or Canada. If it wasn't released in the US, this is a counterfeit cover. |

| Posted: | | | | Looks like a bootleg to me. I don't think I've ever seen a legitimate release by a bigger company that only puts their UPC on the wrapper and not the case. Not my only reasoning for thinking it's a bootleg, but that along with what others have said, I'm betting it is. | | | "The perfect is the enemy of the good." - Voltaire |

That is certainly possible, though if it originated with YesAsia, I think they have a pretty good track record. I would need better images of the back cover than i have seen thus far. As I said if it had been released here i would have been aware of it, I am sure. But the Distribution Company being sony does not automatically make it a boot, since the film was co-produced by Universal and Columbia it very easily could hav an agreement that gives Universal domestic distribution and Sony overseas distribution rights.
So I am not prepared to call it a boot, but it is certainly curious, I give it that much.

| Posted: | | | | Thanks for your continued help to get this right, Skip et al. I can't get any higher resolution than this, so I hope it helps. I made sure to get the spine which has a Sony ID (above the logo) - which si the same as the empty UPC field on the back.

| Posted: | | | | Considering what Blu-ray blanks cost when this came out, I doubt it's a boot. Can we get a picture of the actual disc? |

It was released in some parts of Europe by Sony on BR (France, Holland, Germany - reviews for all 3 can be found via dvd-basen.dk) and two of them look to have the same audio, subtitle options as the one in question. Very very strange. |

| Posted: | | | | Apparently, this has been released on Blu Ray in the UK, France, Germany, Japan, Korea and others.
From what I have gathered and covers that I have viewed, it is probably a Sony release from the Asian market and probably a Korean release. |

Or it's possible they intended on releasing it in the US so to save costs added the relevant bits and pieces. After all, UK Blu-rays are even starting with the US FBI warning screens these days when they share subtitle/language options with their counterparts and the discs themselves can contain a whole bunch of 'ratings' (UK, Ireland, German, Italian). | | | Last edited: by samuelrichardscott |

| Posted: | | | | Sony does frequently do that, but they don't have US distribution rights. I wouldn't think they'd start printing stuff until they had those for sure. |
