Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

Figured since we are now getting close to the final animated classics line titles of 2011 and news is now starting to get out about 2012 animated BD releases I would start a new thread that Focuses on the Animated Classics line and compliments the one I started last year the 2011 animated classics bluray releases.


So far we know that 2012 will be seeing Bluray releases for

Lady and The Tramp Diamond edition (spring 2012)

Cinderella Diamond edition (Fall 2012)

Pocahontas special edition (TBD 2012) based upon the insert in the spanish bluray release of Lion King 3D

and there are rumors of a 2012 release of Mulan as well.

Shut up and take my money!!

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

I'd wager a re-release Monsters Inc, with a 3D disc as well. In addition to Finding Nemo and The Little Mermaid since these are all being re-released theatrically.

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

I'm not ready for this 2012 edition thread!

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

I thought there was a 2012 thread already. Or maybe I was thinking of the 2011 thread. Damn this year is going by fast.

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

But not next year, in 2013. Nemo is the only one confirmed for 12. It seems like we can reasonably confirm these for next year:

Lady & the Tramp
Cinderella
Finding Nemo

Robin Hood and Mulan are rumored, and I'd be all for that. What I'm most interested in is how the more recent films fit into Disney's release strategy (Hercules, Tarzan, Atlantis, Lilo, Emperor's, etc) Wait for a 10 or 15yr anniversary, or just release them whenever they fit into the schedule?

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

Yeah the other thread which i created last year was for 2011, since we are starting to hear rumblings for 2012 releases thought would be time to go ahead and make a thread for those releases next year.

Ideally this will just stick with the Animated classics line and NOT the pixar animated films.(perhaps someone cares to make a pixar animated thread lol)

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

I am hoping that the Pocahontas release Keeps both the theatrical cut and the special edition version ala beauty and the beast. Unlike Lion Kings added song morning report which felt out of place as it wasnt even a song originally planned for the movie, but composed for the broadway show, If I Never Knew you was originally written for the theatrical release but cut due to the run time of the film. Mel Gibson (while not the best vocalist) gives a very emotional performance in that song as did Judy Kuhn as the singing voice of Pocahontas.
I also would love to see them package Pocahontas II (which featured Mel's brother Donal who sounds exactly like Mel) in it as well as long as its a seperate disc though and not both on the same disc like fox and the hound.

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

No Sword in the Stone on BD announced yet. :(

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

Same here. The classics are undeniable, but I'd love to have Lilo, Tarzan and New Groove in hi-def.

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

...why did Mexico have the Dumbo BD first again?

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

I was already sad that the special edition Lilo and Stitch never came out on DVD. Come on Blu!

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

Aladdin! Aladdin! Aladdin! come on I promised my girl it was gonna come out in blu-ray since 2009 and I'm staring to look like a liar

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

yes it did

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

Not just mexico, but Uk and everywhere else. Know one is really quite sure why Disney Yanked it from the us release schedule last year when they did.

I see the Finding Nemo Blu-ray release happening in one of the three fashions:

1. Disney delays the BD+DVD and BD3D+BD+DVD+DC combo packs until the end of 2012, two-to-three months after the 3D theatrical re-release.
2. Disney releases the Blu-ray+DVD combo pack sometime in Q1 or Q2 2012 to promote either John Carter or Brave. BD3D+BD+DVD+DC combo pack comes out Q4 2012 after the 3D theatrical re-release.
3. Disney releases the Blu-ray+DVD combo pack everywhere else in the world but the US. US has to wait until the 3D theatrical re-release is put out.

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

Ditto. While all 3 would be great on blu, I would think Tarzan would look especially awesome in hi-def.

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

Pretty sure we will be seeing Nemo on bluray in either October or November with the theatrical re release slatted for mid sept.
can someone please create a pixar thread though, as i really created this thread to be about the animated classics line.

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

Finding Nemo is the only PIXAR film that has not seen a Blu-ray release despite it being the second highest grossing behind Toy Story 3. The rest are all currently on Blu-ray.

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

that is true but it doesnt make it part of the animated classics line. lol

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

I think we can all carry on if we accept that Nemo will indeed be released next year, I don't see it taking over a large part of the animated classics topic. Crisis averted. But given that Pixar is now part of Disney, you may want to be more specific in future topics.

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

Didn't the Lion King release also confirm that it's sequels are coming to blu in 2012? I guess they're technically available now, but it might be worth listing the single releases in the OP.

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

Is Aladdin ever gonna hit Blu? I recall reading a long time ago it was going to be, but then they substituted its release for another one we wound up getting instead. I mean, they're gonna release Pochahontas but not Aladdin? I've got nothing against Pochahontas, but c'mon

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

Thanks for making a 2012 list. Just want them now!

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

I was pretty specific though lol the topic of the thread is walt disney Animated classics, The Pixar Disney line is an entirely different set of disney releases. Now if i Disney 2012 bluray releases then thats another story.
in anycase I know its silly of me and probably more of a pet peve type thing.
But Pixar is its own thing, the greatness of those movies stand out on their own and deserve to not just be lumped in with the classics of Walt Disney animation studios propper.

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

I didnt mention them just as i didnt mention enchanted christmas or Bambi II on the 2011 thread cause those are not part of the animated classics line they were produced and animated by Walt Disney Television animation.
the thread is intended for the discussion of releases from that group of 51 animated titles that will be released in 2012.

I mean i guess its not that big of a deal but there are a lot of us online who primarily just fans of those core 51 disney films more so than the other animated releases that come out.
I guess to the average consumer they just look at them all as just being disney animated films no matter if its the classics line, the pixar line, the televsion DTV line heck then there are those who think that Anastasia, Thumbilina, All dogs go to heaven, Secret of Nyhm, American Tale etc, are all disney animated movies lol.

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

If you have the time and feel so inclined, could you add a list of the 51 classics to the OP and indicate which ones are already release on blu (and may already be back in the Disney vault) and which unreleased ones we expect when. I think that would tremendously help the average consumer/reader of this thread like myself.

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

I feel ya. Aladdin is part of the Diamond Edition group, so that means it's subject to the 2 titles per year limit. i.e. ain't gonna happen in 2012.

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

2013 then ?? I hope Disney rereleases this on the big screen prior to the bluray release.

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

2013 for Aladdin? That sucks, thought it was set for Oct 2012.

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

Aladdin is not part of the Diamond line. It was removed.

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

I stand corrected. As awil1026 says, it's not a Diamond Edition title. And, in fact, at least this page says that it's scheduled for a 2-disc 20th Anniversary release in 2012 (as Ranger says), so here's hoping!

http://disney.wikia.com/wiki/Aladdin

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

I suspect we will see Aladdin hit bluray summer or winter 2012.
Its the 20th anniversary and seeing as its no longer considered a Diamond level title, it could easily be slotted in for a special edition release for next year, assuming the restoration work on it has been done allready.
while it might not have burned up the sales charts with that dvd release i think the decision to drop it from the Diamond line, was a bad move. The smaller than expected sales for the dvd(thanks in large part to lack of advertising campaign for the dvd release and no theatrical rerelease like Lion King, Beauty and Little Mermaid got prior to their home video re releases) doesnt change the fact that it was the first Disney Animated feature to top 200 million dollars in its inital release, and when you think about it other than the lion king no other Traditionaly Animated Disney movie has topped 200 million dollars domesticly at the box office.

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

I wanted to give all you Disney fans a heads up before this makes it over to the deals forums. Best Buy has marked down the Collectors sets on Snow White to $9.99 for the $250 set and to $29.99 for the $79 set. These are no longer on their website but I was able to find the $79 set in a local store this week. Unfortunately, someone beat me to the $250 set that has been collecting dust at one of my local stores for the past couple years.

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

Is $9.99 a misprint?

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

And if not, what is in the set?

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

I think it's the big circular one that includes all of the plushes of the dwarves and shit.

Edit: Dwarfs.

It's this thing:

You can also see teh details on Amazon

Re: Walt Disney Animated classics 2012 bluray releases
 

I wonder how long until Brother Bear gets a blu-ray release.

Still a waiting for a few others to be released, they are finally starting to release more that I am looking at.
