This is all great news. I've been going through a big Disney watching period the last couple of months, and was lamenting the idea of having to wait until 2010 to have all of the titles. Great news :thumbsup: |
Where are you guys getting your information? I was always told that the Disney DVD titles that were on moratorium or not yet released were going to get platinum treatment. Sleeping Beauty and Peter Pan just got SE treatment, and as already mentioned Fantasia is in the anthology.
Here's what I always thought were going to comprise the platinum series: 1. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs 2. Beauty and the Beast 3. The Lion King 4. Aladdin 5. Bambi 6. The Jungle Book 7. Cinderella 8. The Little Mermaid 9. Lady and The Tramp 10. 101 Dalmatians |
Er.. so.. does this mean the upcoming Sleeping Beauty is a Platinum release?
|
There isn't going to be a platinum Sleeping Beauty, it is a special edition coming out September 9.

Hmm.. interesting.. it's good news though. Glad to have more of the Disney classics, and I'll buy Peter Pan as many times as they want me to!!
Of course, this probably does not accelerate Little Mermaid at all, seeing as it's going to IMAX Christmas 2004, the DVD is still 2005 bound.. :( |
Originally posted by LBPound That isn't one of the new titles. They're Sleeping Beauty, Pinocchio, Peter Pan, and Fantasia. I assume they'll mostly be repackaging the upcoming Sleeping Beauty and the Fantasia content from the currently available Fantasia Anthology. As for Fantasia platinum 110% uncensored, I’ll believe that when I see it! |
Fantasia? :hscratch:
Other than that curiosity, this is all about the cha-ching. |
Thanks for the news LBPound!!!
I'm glad that Cinderella and Bambi will be released to dvd sooner because I'm not sure how many people who worked on them are still with us. Bambi in particular. |

Which laser disc from Disney contained the complete cartoon "The Three Little Pigs"? Please give pic or a brief discription of the cover and the LD number, if possible. Thanks in advance for this info! :D |
All I want is 'BAMBI' please.
|
good news, let's get them ramped up and out to the stores now !
|
This is wonderful news!
|
Where are you guy's getting the idea that there will be a Fantasia re-release?
|
Cool.
Obviously a move because they appear to be coming out with more lackluster releases. If Fantasia is the same exact disc as the current, except uncut, I'd pick it up. But it does beg the question will Sleeping Beauty be a 1 disc platinum release? |
And here's the reason!
From IMDb: "Disney's second-quarter results were such that it might have considered replacing Mickey Mouse with Grumpy as its standard bearer. The company said that its net income fell by 12 percent, largely due to a 45-percent plunge in earnings at its theme parks. The ABC broadcasting business showed a 13 percent rise in gross revenue but profits fell 25 percent largely due to increased programming costs and the expenses incurred in covering the war in Iraq. The one bright spot on the company's ledgers was home video, which showed a 24-percent rise in earnings. Results from theatrical ticket sales were flat with last year, the company said." |

Originally posted by Pants Where are you guy's getting the idea that there will be a Fantasia re-release? Rather than ten-year release cycles for each Platinum title, we now expect to release two Platinum titles per year, in March and October, which will effectively condense the cycle to seven years. This will enable us to distribute all Platinum titles on DVD by 2007 rather than 2010, allowing for a two-year selling window and a five-year period where the title is off the market. In addition, we plan to expand the Platinum portfolio in 2004 -- after the release of our next Platinum title "The Lion King" -- to include "Sleeping Beauty," "Pinocchio," "Peter Pan" and "Fantasia." |
Thank GOD Ill be able to get The Jungle Book quicker than expected. Thats the only cartoon I cared about. Its one of my most favorite (alont with The Sword In The Stone)
Quick question, Im a big Fantasia fan, but I didnt know it was censored! I have the original VHS but have been saving for the Anthology, but can anyone tell me what they edited or censored? Is there maybe a site that shows all the editing that Disney does to their damn movies? |
Originally posted by darkflounder Didn't they do a full restoration of Fantasia when they released it in the very expensive LD set a number of years ago? What I was talking about was a digital clean-up like they did for Snow White, and has been also done for live-action films like Citizen Kane and Singin' in the Rain. What I would like them to do is what they did for the segment "The Sorceror's Apprentice" for Fantasia 2000, but for the rest of the movie. |

And a couple of other things. |
i hope this means <b>Bambi</b> in 2004!!

Whew, those edits I dont mind. But PLEASE tell me they didnt edit the final song with the demons with breasts (what are they called; harpies?)!!

No, the Harpies are still in there thank goodness. I'm with you, I'm glad those scenes were taken out. Damn that's creepy. Sure, while watching this film I enjoy being suddenly reminded that when this was made, black people stuck to shining shoes, using the back entrance to buildings, and swinging from trees by their neck if they stared at a white woman too long. Damn character shouldn't have been in there in the first place. |
Originally posted by Ravenous Whew, those edits I dont mind. But PLEASE tell me they didnt edit the final song with the demons with breasts (what are they called; harpies?)!! However, who decides what should be censored and what shouldn't? If the sensibilities of our society were different slightly, the harpies would be gone and the black centaurette would stay. Disney has the right to self-censor. But I don't have to agree with what they censor. Again, if they had done the reverse, it would be their right, and I wouldn't agree with that either. |
