Summary: Return To Snowy River or The Man From Snowy River 2
Comment: Outstanding sequel to the original movie "The Man From Snowy River" except for the fact that there is one crucial scene that Disney had cut from the theatrical release of this move and therefore isn't on this Fullscreen Disney DVD.
You can find the restored Widescreen Director's Cut of this movie on a Region 4 DVD (you'll need a multi-regional DVD player) on eBay or at www.fishpond.co.nz
Just do a search for "The Man From Snowy River 2" or "The Man From Snowy River II"
The scene that is missing from this Region 1 Fullscreen Disney DVD but is on the Region 4 DVD restored Director's Cut is the wedding of Jim Craig & Jessica Harrison which takes place just barely before the end of the movie.

Summary: Beautiful Film - Nearly Ruined
Comment: C'mon Disney, where is the widescreen version of this movie? I have been waiting for years for them to release it, and I will not purchase the movie until they do.
I was such a fan of The Man From Snowy River that when this sequel hit theaters, I was there about every other weekend watching it. When it was released to video, I was horrified. Gone was the beautiful photography that helped make it so enjoyable. Some stuff is so chopped up that the entire purpose of the shot is lost, let alone just being able to tell what the heck is going on in the action sequences.
For Disney to continue to release this only as a pan & scan feature is an offense to Cinematographer Keith Wagstaff, Director Geoff Burrowes, and to all the fans of the film that deserve to see it as it was filmed and the way the filmmakers meant it to be viewed.
Thank you for your support

Summary: Return to Snowy River
Comment: Love this good, family movie. As with the first movie, Man From Snowy River, have watched it many times. Especially enjoy the scenes with the running horses. It has romance, horses, and Australia--what more do you need?
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Waiting for widescreen, too
Comment: I own this in VHS and agree with the other reviewers - great movie, just a bit less great than the first.
I will wait for widescreen - the panorama shots are too good to waste on 1:33-1.

Australia's breathtaking Victoria Alps set the backdrop for this spectacular epic saga. Tom Burlinson and Sigrid Thornton, two of Australia's brightest film talents, star in a fast-paced, action-packed story of a stormy romance caught up in a violent feud between landowners. Acclaimed actor Brian Dennehy (LEGAL EAGLES, COCOON) gives a gripping performance as the powerful patriarch determined to keep them apart. Visually unforgettable and packed with rugged adventure and masterful stuntwork, RETURN TO SNOWY RIVER is a thrilling and memorable film!
