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

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

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

The Monkees

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?

PopcornTreeCt

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

Matthew Chmiel

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.

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

The Monkees

I hope you're right about Aladdin

Giles

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

Artman

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.

Mike86

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.

fumanstan

Gah, I want Lilo and Stitch darn it

Matthew Chmiel

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.

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

Superdaddy

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.

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).

John Galt

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.

Ranger

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

Arthur Dent

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

Xiroteus

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

Michael Corvin

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

Xiroteus

Which post?

The Monkees

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).

Superdaddy

Or Mulan

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