Are "The Red Balloon" and "The White Mane" being released by Criterion?

Hello all you Criterion collector's I heard that Albert Lamorisse's two classic short films The Red Balloon and White Mane will be released in April? It has yet to be listed on their website in upcoming films.

A few days ago if one went to the Janus films webpage: http://www.janusfilms.com/redandwhite/index.html
and scrolled down to the very bottom they mentioned it in very fine print about Criterion putting this out sometime this Spring.(Now there is not mention of it on their webpage) Has Criterion ever released a combo short-film set like this before?

This topic is already being discussed here. However, to answer your question breifly, The Red Balloon, White Mane, and Paddle to the Sea will be released separately in April. The MSRP is $14.95 per film. It does not appear that they will have spine numbers. The Red Balloon and White Mane are currently available from Netflix as part of their Red Envelope Entertainment series. Janus logos precede each, as well as, logos for Films Distribution/Les Films Montsouris. It is a single-layer combo disc with both short films. The Red Balloon has a French audio track and White Mane has the original French track and an English dub/descriptive track. The only special feature on the combo disc is a trailer. Both films are also available for Instant Watch on Netflix.
