The "Blu-ray ALL America - Buena Vista Home Entertainment" disc from 2007 was re-released by Mill Creek in 2023. Case art was changed/altered, and the disc label has the Mill Creek logo on it, but the disc contents are 100% the same. UPC number is the same as the original 2007 Buena Vista disc. The Mill Creek logo does NOT appear when you play the disc because they're using the same disc image. (It even includes the "Movie Showcase" film clips, though Mill Creek removed mention of them from the back of the case.

This is one of several Disney discs that Mill Creek re-released as part of a distribution deal that was announced in January 2023. I do not know what other Blu-rays and DVDs have been re-released so far.

Not sure if you feel this should be added as a new release (just duplcate the Buena Vista entry and change the company name), or if it should be noted in the "Notes" section of the Buena Vista entry. I leave that decision to you guys.

It's a very good question. I have heard about this deal too and if it means Disney/Fox titles are in circulation, I have no complaints.

It's a weird rule of thumb to say at least; whenever there's say Miramax title which receive a re-release from a different label (and the contents are 100% the same), we add it, same for any Paramount titles in their deal with Paramount or a DreamWorks Animation title. YET, whenever there's a MGM release, we just leave that as is and note that it was re-released with a different cover/art (I think because it's one of those things where MGM is the main company even though it has been distributed by other studios over the years like Sony, Fox and Warner). In this case (and also because there's no Amazon listing, I think we can qualify this as the latter.

But that's just my opinion.

Will add as a new entry. So everything is the same - audio and subtitles, region etc.?

Edit, added it as a note to the US release. Thank you.
