Surprised nobody has posted this here. From UltimateDisney.com

Disney's 1953 adaptation of J.M. Barrie's beloved children's tale will fly to DVD on March 6, 2007. The digitally restored film will be offered in 1.33:1 fullscreen (approximating the Academy Ratio it was created for) and your choice of an all-new 5.1 channel Disney Enhanced Home Theater Mix, the restored original theatrical soundtrack, or French and Spanish dubs. Among the announced bonus features are "In Walt's Words" (newly-discovered footage of the studio's namesake explaining why he made Peter Pan), the 1952 featurette The Peter Pan Story, "You Can Fly: The Making of Peter Pan", deleted songs, multi-level Camp Never Land set-top games, and a sneak peek of next August's direct-to-video CG-animated film Tinker Bell.

The trailer for it was placed on the Little Mermaid DVD... which also, it seems few people want to talk about...

Re: Peter Pan - Platinum Edition specs

Can't wait. Hopefully it is more along the lines of Snow White and Aladdin in terms of bonus features instead of the lesser Little Mermaid selections.

I'm so glad it is coming out. I missed it when it was released as a DVD a few years ago. I hope they have lithos to go with it.
