I am a huge movie buff and DVD collector. My collection mostly consists of horror. But recently I have refrained from buying anymore horror until I have completed my Disney collection.

I have been buying Disney's Gold Collection and Platinum Discs.
I just so happened to find Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Pinocchio last week at a bookstore. I felt pretty lucky because both are quite hard to find nowadays.

And yesterday I happened to find one more Peter Pan left at a movie and music store.

I still have to get the rest of the Gold Editions and the Platinum DVD's.

However, after buying Finding Nemo, I went to the Bonus Features and then went to Sneak Peeks where I found a trailer advertising Disney's upcoming 2 disc special editions for Alice in Wonderland, Pocahontas, and Lilo and Stitch.

Now does this mean every Gold Edition Disney DVD will be rereleased in a 2 disc special edition? If so, fine. That's cool. The more the merrier. But is it just going to be 3 released every year or will there be more? Also does anyone know if there are plans to rerelease Lady and the Tramp or other really hard to find titles? Are they planning on rereleasing other not so popular (but no less captivating) titles that are still in print such as The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad and Fun and Fancy Free? I'll admit, if the release date isn't until 2010 or even 2005 for that matter, I'll probably still get the older versions if I can.

As for Alice, Pocahontas, and Lilo and Stitch; I'll just wait because they are coming out next year.

So does anyone have any information on these new 2 Disc Disney DVD's and what we might see in the future? Any other Disney DVD collectors out there?

Ah, surely someone else also collects Disney DVD's!

Some will some will not.. there's not way to know until they are annoucned.

I am still waiting on my SE of Mulan thank you.

Hmm.... Like you said, no one will know until they are announced. I'm just wondering if someone might know someone that has heard rumors of newer Disney releases in the future.

I have recently found out that Mary Poppins is getting the two disc treatment. But that isn't until September of next year!!!

Also, I've looked on sticky post above that mentions new rereleases.

It says Jungle Book and Lady and the Tramp are due around 2008 and 2009.

Sorry, I just can't wait that long. I'll just buy the old ones and get the new ones when they come out.

I thought that Aladin was going to be released next year. At least it said it on the Lion King Insert.

Yeah, I'm sure Aladdin will be getting the Platinum treatment like Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Beauty and the Beast, and The Lion King.

As for Mary Poppins Alice in Wonderland, Pocahontas, and Lilo and Stitch. They have already been on DVD once... so maybe that's why the new 2 disc sets for those are not getting called 'Platinum' releases but 'Special' or 'Masterpiece' editions.

Oh yeah, and I doubt Tarzan, Atlantis, and The Emperor's New Groove will be getting new 2 disc special editions because they already got the 2 disc treatment. The Tarzan set is quite hard to find nowadays though.

Actually, this will be the third edition of "Mary Poppins".

That's right. The first edition had the Widescreen banner over the top.

UltimateDisney.com seems to have the most accurate information on Disney Movies. Specific, their "Upcoming Disney DVD Release Schedule" page should be able to help you out some.

Good luck, and welcome to DVDTalk!

Thanks for your help and your warm welcome!

I just looked on their list and it says Return to OZ is getting a rerelease! I love this movie. I am a huge OZ fan and I think this film is more faithful to the OZ book series than the musical was.

Hope it comes with a trailer and lots of other goodies.

I don't think you will see 2-DVD sets of the war time films like Fun and Fancy Free or Make Mine Music (even though they are generally considered part of the Disney classic xx animation movies).

Mr. Pumpkinhead,

Your old account and username are still valid. There is no need for you to register a new one.

I thought that Disney sold this one off to Anchor Bay?

I was thinking the same.

The lesser Disney Animated flicks will probably not be seeing the deluxe treatment.
