Disney Live Action Release Date Changes?

Disney Live Action Release Date Changes?
On August 3, four Disney live action movies were slated to be released:
Dr. Syn, Alias the Scarecrow, The Shaggy Dog, The Shaggy D.A., and Darby O'Gill and the Little People.
I had all preordered through DVDempire. About 2 weeks ago I got an email from DVDempire stating that the first three titles release dates had been changed to TBA - To Be Announced. I checked Amazon and some other sites and all seemed to confirm that changed date.
Today I received another email from DVDempire saying that Darby O'Gill's release date had also been changed to TBA. This time however, Amazon shows that it is still coming out August 3, though maybe they haven't updated the listing.
I am just curious if anyone has any news on these four titles. I just find it strange that they were all pulled so close to the release date, especially Darby O'Gill (four days from D-day).

Over at UltimateDisney.com, we got review copies for all of the August 3 Disney titles except Oliver Twist and Darby O'Gill. Word was that those two were late coming in. As far as I know, Darby O'Gill hasn't been officially delayed, but I'm not sure if it will be easily found in stores on Tuesday.
Dr. Syn, The Shaggy Dog, and The Shaggy D.A. were all delayed a few months ago.

For what it's worth, my Amazon order that contains Darby O'Gill is "shipping soon". Have to wait and see.
Edit: Shipped out today. Maybe stores are just late in getting them in?

I went to 5 B+M stores today and couldn't find 1 copy of Darby anywhere, when I asked at Suncoast- the manager said that they got in all the other titles from disney except Darby. Figures the only one I want was the only one they didn't get.

The remake with Tim Allen is coming to theaters next year, and it could be that long before we see the DVDs, even if they may already be pressed and we already know what's going to be on them:

Darby O'Gill IS fullscreen, but that's not a bad thing, as the DVD explains.
Here's my full review of it:
