Re: Disney Animation on Blu-ray in 2018
Who Framed Roger Rabbit is the type of movie I can see them releasing in 4K so here's hoping. The original movie came out in June but Disney has never been very accurate with their anniversary dates so I'm hoping we get a release before the year is up.farerb wrote:I really hope it will be released in 4KJeanGreyForever wrote:Has there been any news on the rumored 30th anniversary edition of Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

Re: Disney Animation on Blu-ray in 2018
I really wish that they would do a Disney Movie Club exclusive for Make Mine Music and Melody Time...I was pleased with my recent purchase of Saludos Amigos and The Three Caballeors (even though they should have had some bonus features attached and a slipcover)...any word of whether or not we can expect Fantasia/Fantasia 2000, to be re-released? It would be a shame for them to exclude all the fabulous features that were on the original blu-ray release.

Re: Disney Animation on Blu-ray in 2018
Me too! I now have some faith that it will happen. Prior to last January I was certain none of the remaining WDAS films would ever be released on blu-ray - yet we got that Saludos/Caballeros package out of the blue. Also, internet rumours seem to indicate that that set sold really well (possibly the fastest-selling DMC-Exclusive release ever) so I hope that Disney's home video department is delighted and prepping the remaining titles with glee.justcuttinhair wrote:I really wish that they would do a Disney Movie Club exclusive for Make Mine Music and Melody Time...I was pleased with my recent purchase of Saludos Amigos and The Three Caballeros.

Re: Disney Animation on Blu-ray in 2018
Even if Disney doesn't deliver, enough material exists elsewhere to create a Do-It-Yourself Special Edition. Of course, I'd rather Disney actually release some of the stuff they have (deleted scenes, EPK interviews, the 20th anniversary Q&A panel at El Capitan), but this is a company who thought it was a bright idea to include a color-changing-subtitled "Fun With Languages" version of Peter Pan on DVD and consider it a legitimate bonus feature. I've given up on them doing anything special on catalog Blu-Rays.JeanGreyForever wrote:The blurb at the bottom mentions never-before-seen bonus so I'm hoping that it applies more to Hocus Pocus than Nightmare since the latter already has a healthy serving of features.

Re: Disney Animation on Blu-ray in 2018
Thank you so much for posting this! I definitely need to check out Hocus Pocus in Focus and it's an ingenious idea to use the soundtrack disc and place it in the Blu-Ray cover since we all know that Disney's never going to be making a separate disc for bonus features, at least not for this film.Escapay wrote:Even if Disney doesn't deliver, enough material exists elsewhere to create a Do-It-Yourself Special Edition.

Restoration aside, the Peter Pan Platinum Edition was probably the worst in the entire platinum line, a title which otherwise would belong to The Lion King.

Re: Disney Animation on Blu-ray in 2018
At least, The Lion King did not have the film on 2 different discs. That one was one of the most shocking and worthless bonus features on any Platinum Edition DVD.

Re: Disney Animation on Blu-ray in 2018
So, still no BD release in Spain for: The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, The Great Mouse Detective and Winnie the Pooh.
I can´t believe it! More so with The Great Mouse Detective since it was part of that batch of Treasure Planet, Oliver and Company...and those were all released here at the same time as in the States.
Here´s hoping for at least the releases of the Winnie the Pooh movies when Christopher Robin gets released in home video.

Re: Disney Animation on Blu-ray in 2018
If I'm correct, the Winnie the Pooh movies don't have Blu-Ray releases in the UK as well. I guess they've been relegated to kiddie fare, to the point that most people who would buy the Pooh movies are likely parents looking for DVDs to quickly put on rather than adult fans and collectors.
Surprised about The Great Mouse Detective though. I can't think of any reason it would be excluded from Spain's releases.

Re: Disney Animation on Blu-ray in 2018
Looks like Nightmare is keeping the two short films after all, so I'm pleased to hear that, but no art galleries. Looks like nothing new so I don't see a point to double-dip.

Re: Disney Animation on Blu-ray in 2018
A combo pack that includes a DVD is a DMC exclusive.
There's an FYE exclusive that comes with 4 glow-in-the-dark postcards.
There's the Best Buy exclusive which is a glow-in-the-dark steelbook. I like the minimal cover.
I'll probably get the Target exclusive which comes with a booklet as I'm not that into steelbooks.

Re: Disney Animation on Blu-ray in 2018
From a poster on Blu-ray.com:
According to a D23 email i received this morning it looks like we are receiving something soon to celebrate Mickey's 90th birthday on 10/23. This is what it mentions, "Gather your family around your couch and grab your favorite Mickey sweets, because we’ve got the marathon for you: Walt Disney Animation Studios will celebrate Mickey’s cartoon legacy with the release of Celebrating Mickey, featuring 13 classic short films on Digital and Blu-ray on 10/23."

Well, that's a start. Too bad they couldn't release more than just 13 shorts. Hoping that Fantasia also gets a release this year to celebrate Mickey's 90th anniversary.

I hadn't realized there are already enough shorts released for a third volume. I guess it will include at least the following titles:Sotiris wrote:A third volume of Pixar shorts is coming.

- Partysaurus Rex
- The Legend of Mor'du

- Riley's First Date?
- Sanjay's Super Team
- Piper

I'm not sure if the Blu-ray bonus features Hide and Seek (The Good Dinosaur), Dante's Lunch (Coco) and Miss Fritter's Racing Skoool (Cars 3) count as shorts or not. And it would be great if the shorts from the new experimental division (Smash and Grab and Purl) were included.
Re: Disney Animation on Blu-ray in 2018
According to Pixar Post, the third volume of Pixar shorts will be released on November 13 and will include 13 shorts. The following 11, plus two more that haven't been announced yet:
I guess the Tales From Radiator Springs are combined into one short.• Partysaurus Rex
• The Legend of Mordu
