Maybe because PE didn't sell well, they're just repackaging it and hope it will sell better. I don't know...
I think it's dumb to decide of a film's Platinum status based on sales only. It should be a matter of critical, public and artistic acclaim. And what kind of number is 14? It should be 10, 15, or 20 films with Platinum status. If I were in charge of the Platinum line, I'd put these in it:
Walt's first five features:
1. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
2. Pinocchio
3. Fantasia
4. Dumbo
5. Bambi
From the '50s:
6. Cinderella
7. Lady and the Tramp - Disney's first feature shot in Cinemascope
8. Sleeping Beauty
Dark ages

:
9. 101 Dalmatians - first use of Xerox process
10. The Jungle Book - Walt's last film
11. The Rescuers - the last film for 9 Old Men
The renaissance films:
12. The Little Mermaid
13. Beauty and the Beast
14. Aladdin
15. The Lion King
I didn't put "Alice in Wonderland" and "Peter Pan" because Walt Disney himself said he never liked title characters.
And lay off B&H ESC entry, please?

Walt didn't like Alice? Where did he say that? I personally thought she was great, plus it was Walt's fave children's novel.
Peterpan, on the other hand, was horrible. Ugh I hate him, and Tinker bell, and Wendy's brothers, and Wendy. Wendy would have saved that movie if she wasn't so fascinated by such jerks!
Just for kicks, my dream platinum lines would be:
1. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
2. Pinocchio
3. Alice in Wonderland
4. Lady and the Tramp
5. Sleeping Beauty
6. One Hundred and One Dalmatians
7. The Jungle Book
8. The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
9. The Little Mermaid
10. Beauty and the Beast
and 11. The Lion King to replace whichever movie has the lowest sales.
