Aladdin, one of my two favorite Disney movies of the '90s (Mulan being the other), is finally getting the special edition treatment. From DVDFile:

Kicking off this week's are three big new announcements from Buena Vista Home Entertainment. The next in Disney's acclaimed Platinum Collection line of two-disc special editions is one of their biggest animated hits of all time, Aladdin. The genie will be let out of the bottle on October 5th, which will include a super-duper new anamorphic transfer (featuring a new version of the film upgraded with new animation) and a Dolby Digital 5.1 "Enhanced Home Theater" surround track. The considerable supplementary materials will boast two audio commentary tracks, a documentary, deleted sequences (including a new musical number "Proud of Your Boy" by composers Howard Ashman and Alan Menken), a pop-up trivia subtitle track, extensive still galleries, storyboards, pencil tests, a virtual carpet ride, 3-D tour of Genie's lamp, sing-along songs, set-top games, "A Whole New World" music video, theatrical trailers, and DVD-ROM material to be announced. Expect a retail price of $29.95, and another relentless marketing campaign. Retail will be $29.99.

Oooo... about time. Probably my second favorite Disney movie ever, next to Jungle Book. Hopefully they'll explain, in the extra material, why they never put the in-movie version of "Whole New World" on the official soundtrack. (I always found it much better than the "professional singer" version...)

Sweet! My favorite Disney movie ever, with Beauty and the Beast a close second.

Im glad they are finally releasing this as a special edition. Though I hope the new song on this one isnt as disapointing as "Morning Report" was on the Lion King special edition.
