John, was this the one that was on sale for $9.99?

I found two of them in store today with tags on them for $149.99 and they were ringing up $49.99, so I passed

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

That was it. Looks like they changed the price online as well. Probably still not bad for $49.99 if you're into collecting the Disney Limited Edition sets.

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

I'll keep checking the site time to time to see if the price drops again. That BB is in the ghetto, so I'm sure they will still be there for awhile :)

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

For 2012, I hope Disney puts the following on blu-ray:

Hercules
The Prince of Egypt
Fritz the Cat




;)

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

I've stated this before in the previous thread, but I really hope that Hercules comes out soon. It's the only animated classic that didn't receive a special edition re-release or an anamorphic transfer on DVD. I don't know why Disney skipped over this one.

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

^agree yes it wasn't a great film but still fun nonetheless

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

you're missing 'Titan A.E'

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

I'd love to have Titan A.E. on blue (even though Bluth loves to make his aliens too cartoony)... but isn't that a Fox flick?

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

Yes, Titan A.E. is Fox. Of the ones he listed, Hurcules is Disney, but the other 2 aren't.
Fritz the Cat is MGM
The Prince of Egypt is DreamWorks

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

Because Dumbo came out in 1941! It makes less sense that the UK and Mexico got a 70th Anniversary Edition in 2010 when the 70th anniversary was in 2011 (when the US disc was released).

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

I doubt that is the reason, I seem to remember there's been a couple times where Disney released an anniversary edition when it was off by a year.

EDIT: Just checked, Lady and the Tramp's 50th anniversary was in 2005, but they released the '50th Anniversary Edition' in 2006

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

Why? It's my favorite of the Little Mermaid > The Lion King era.

My big wants (and God know when they'll get released) are:

The Adventures Of Ichabod & Mr. Toad
Robin Hood

and for non-features:

Mickey's Christmas Carol
Prep & Landing

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

According to AICN, the Lady and the Tramp insert lists these for 2012:

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

Rescuers and Rescuers Down Under 2 movie collection? Finally, a 2 movie collection that makes sense! Pocahontas and Pocahontas 2? Yep, anyway to pedal their crap sequels. And Aladdin! Of course the only trilogy that Disney has done that makes sense to release as a trilogy, but will they?

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

Pocahontas isn't deserving of it's own release?

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

I'll bet money right now you'll see in Spring 2013:

1. Aladdin Blu-ray + DVD Combo Pack
2. Aladdin Blu-ray + DVD + Digital Copy Combo Pack
3. Aladdin Blu-ray + The Return of Jafar Blu-ray + Aladdin and the King of Thieves Blu-ray + DVDs + Digital Copy Combo Pack

Then, when we hit Winter 2013:

1. The Return of Jafar Blu-ray + DVD Combo Pack
2. Aladdin and the King of Thieves Blu-ray + DVD Combo Pack

You heard it hear first folks. ;)

No.

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

Pocahontas is a nice surprise. I'd like to see Lilo, Tarzan & New Groove as well.

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

I hope you're right about Aladdin

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

Aladdin is rumoured to go the 3D theater route before the bluray release.

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

Not a doubt in my mind they'll follow The Lion King's "trilogy" release pattern for Aladdin. Am a bit disappointed that it seems Tarzan is off this year's schedule.... but it's one of the more popular modern releases, so I assume we'll see it sooner rather than later.

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

Guess I better get Beauty and the Beast before Disney throws it back in the vault. I'll get The Rescuers/The Rescuers Down Under when it comes out and also Aladdin for sure.

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

Gah, I want Lilo and Stitch darn it :(

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

Nope.

Disney already has Finding Nemo in 3D this fall. That gets followed up by Monsters Inc. in spring of 2013 and The Little Mermaid that fall. They're not going to replace Monsters Inc. as it's getting re-released months prior to the theatrical release of the sequel. They're also not going to re-release two films in 3D so close to each other as that reeks too much of a blatant cash grab.

If Aladdin does get a 3D post-convert, it might see a 3D release first on Blu-ray and than a theatrical release a la Beauty and the Beast.

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

:up: I love Emperor's New Groove. Great snarky humor cracks me up. Tarzan would look gorgeous on blu.

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

I would actually have liked to see this released without the direct-to-video sequel, but I will buy it as the two-fer. I know I am in the EXTREME minority, but I prefer Pocahontas (and Hunchback of Notre Dame, for that matter) to The Lion King.

Will also buy The Aristocats, Cinderella, and Aladdin.

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

I've learned my lesson from not getting them on Release week when the prices are best. Now I have to probably pay a premium for The Lion King, Dumbo and the Fox and the Hound set. I plan to get them all, except the sequels (unless they're packaged in of course).

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

You should try the Disney Movie Club. If you can find 9 titles you want (and all three of those you listed are included), they'll average out to about $10 each.

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

Aw, still a long wait for Aladdin, but glad that Return of Jafar is going blu, too.

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

Doesn't matter now. Disney reinserted Aladdin into the Diamond line-up.

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

Still wondering how long until Brother Bear will be seen on Blu-ray.

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

:lol: I had to double check and make sure that wasn't a Groucho post.

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

Which post?

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

I doubt it, Disney also had Aladdin set for an IMAX release in 2004 before the DVD came out (as they had done with Beauty & the Beast and Lion King) and then they canceled it. It seems Disney doesn't care too much for Aladdin as much as they do with Beauty & the Beast and Lion King. Even though Aladdin was a huge hit (it grossed more than Beauty & the Beast originally did).

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

Or Mulan

Yes, Mulan is the one I want most. Should be gorgeous in high def.

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

And Lilo And Stitch.

It took a few years for Disney to even star releasing the films I want on Blu-Ray, non Disney animation is taking even longer, Iron Giant, Balto and several others.

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

Yeah, the Disney movies that I took my kids to see in the theaters is the stretch of Pocahontas, Hunchback, Hercules, Mulan and Tarzan. It will be nice once those start releasing on blu-ray. After that stretch, Disney pretty much completely derailed, although I find Lilo & Stitch entertaining enough.

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

Emperor's New Groove, Fantasia 2000 & Lilo & Sitch are among those included in your "derailment years.". I just can't get on board with that. Atlantis is pretty decent as well.

I think the only solid stretch a case could be made for is from Treasure Planet to either Bolt or Princess & the Frog (depending on your love of Bolt).

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

Emperor's New Grove and Atlantis also needs a blu-ray, seems that most of what I blu-ray is not among their "classics" aside from 101 Dalmatians, Lady And The Tramp, Robin Hood, most of the animated films I would like are 1980 and beyond.

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

I'd love to see Atlantis on blu-ray.
