Sleeping Beauty Platinum Edition... bonus features?

[CoryTheRaven]

Hi all... I've got a pedantic question for which I'm hoping that somebody has the inside skinny.

The opportunity to preorder the new release of Sleeping Beauty - one of my favorite fairy tales in general, whether the Perrault story, Tchaikovsky ballet or Disney film - came upon me, with which I could get a set of "lithographs" of scenes from it. However, I originally wanted to hold off to see what the bonus features on the set were. The previous special edition release had an amazing set of bonuses, and if those weren't on the platinum edition, I would just take the opportunity of the latter's release to find a cheap used copy of the former.

So, my question is whether or not the new release has at least the bonus features that were on the special edition... Grand Canyon, 4 Artists Paint 1 Tree, The Peter Tchaikovsky Story, live action film references, etc. Anybody know?

I was looking all over the place to find this one out, and I came across nothing. Disney's mostly touting the new special features, which are:

-2.35:1, DD 5.1 DEHT
-Restored original soundtrack
-New, "never-before-seen" alternate opening: "Holiday"
-Disneyland's Sleeping Beauty Castle walk-through
-New music video ("Once Upon A Dream" performed by Emily Osment from "Hannah Montana")
-New making-of documentary
-Deleted songs
-Disney Song Selection
-New Briar Rose's Waltz game

I vaguely recall UltimateDisney.com saying that the original bonus features are supposedly going to be carried over... but they dropped the link with the press release, so I have no idea if this is true or simply a figment of my imagination. Disney did attach the usual "and much more!" at the end of the bonus features list, so I imagine that's a hint that the older features will still be there.
