Stumbled upon this on You Tube... The original theatrical trailer for Walt Disney's "The Three Lives of Thomasina" (-- wishing for a Blu-Ray tonight!). Beautiful print:

Interesting that there don't seem to be any clearance issues holding back The Prince and the Pauper (1962) and The Sign of Zorro (1960) from being sold to the public as downloads currently. http://www.amazon.com/The-Prince-And-Pauper/dp/B003Y1U4NU http://www.amazon.com/Sign-Of-Zorro-Guy-Williams/dp/...

"Ichabod and Mr. Toad - awesome, of course. But "Trick or Treat" (1953) and "The Mad Doctor" (1933) would have grouped nicely with "Lonesome Ghosts" as classic Walt Halloween shorts (perhaps instead of "The Old Mill" or "Pigs" trilogy) - "O...

IMHO -- Given Escapay's comments above, the relevant theatrical 50's and 60's titles shot at full-aperture appear to be most comfortable at 1:66 where the overall picture composition and story material/visual business near the top or bottom is not compromised or cut-off. But I must say both "Da...

MM: This thread is referring to Walt Disney's original 1963 production of "The Incredible Journey" coming to retail DVD -- not the 1993 remake "Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey." In the original, the animals do not speak. Rex Allen narrates. No Linda Woolverton involved.

It would be nice if Zorro and The Mickey Mouse Club (syndicated version) would find their way to Me-TV or Antenna TV as well.

Great news - thanks for posting. I hope this means more Walt live-action releases on DVD - and hopefully Blu-ray!

Best news for Walt's library in quite some time (I hope they eventually distribute physical media too): http://www.tcm.com/this-month/movie-news.html?id=1051842&name=TCM-Walt-Disney-World-Resort-and-The-Walt-Disney-Studios-Team-Up >>...As part of the relationship with The Walt Disney Studios, TC...

Not the Disney version, but surely of interest to Walt Disney fans, due to subject matter and star... the 1965 TV production of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella starring Lesley Ann Warren has been remastered from source tape and comes back to DVD Sept. 8 for ''50th Anniversary''.

If DMC had a program for Blu-Ray Exclusives, maybe this would be a way we dedicated dreamers could get the hi-definition versions of major Walt Disney live-action classics we crave (that don't seem to be headed for general release any time soon). -- Swiss Family Robinson, Pollyanna, Parent Trap!, Ol...

I'm still hanging on to hope for Prince and the Pauper (62), The Horsemasters, The Light in the Forest, The Sign of Zorro, Mosby's Marauders (Willie and the Yank), For the Love of Willadean... more Spin and Marty, Hardy Boys, and Swamp Fox... and any and all Ludwig VonDrake or Ranger Woodlore WDWWoC...
