Blu-Ray title suggestions?

I HATE the Fantasia DVD set, so I hope the Blu-ray won't be modeled on it.

They used what was, purportedly, the original interstertial dialogue (not original recordings by Deems Taylor, but someone doing a bad lip-synch in a terrible voice for the home video release). These were retarded proto-spoilers of 1939 ... in that they go into detail about what you are about to see. It's as if news anchors hosting the Olympics Opening Ceremonies were introducing the Fantasia segments.

If indeed these spoiler-stertials were used in the original "roadshow" version of Fantasia, they were wisely dropped for the film's wide release. The more concise, non-spoiler introductions are so much better, and available in Deems Taylor's actual voice.

Ugh, now that my laserdisc player is out of commission, I may never see the "real" version of Fantasia again. Oh, and someone gave me a really high quality set (ya know, the kind with like 10 discs) that I've never even watched. Oi. Too late.
