At the Expo Disney 2015 in São Paulo, Disney Brazil announced that the next Diamond Editions will be Beauty and the Beast and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, both in 2016 and in that order. Evidently, Pinocchio won't be the next Diamond after all.

That's quite odd, indeed. They've already been released in the Diamond Edition.

They should change the name of the collection…

Interesting news that they are skipping Pinocchio and releasing Beauty and the Beast and Snow White again. It is probably right to assume they won't be 'diamond editions'. It will be a new name that we will all know deep down means nothing but at the same time we will all want these new shiny editions that offer us less than last time because Disney collecting = deeply unrewarding.
I guess that means they'll release Pinocchio as standard all year round disc in the US and that will be that.

I'm eager to find out more details about BatB/SW re-releases as time gets closer. Unless it is a no new bonus features area, I will seriously struggle not to re-buy. I'll certainly import Aladdin Diamond as the bonus features actually sound like they haven't been half-arsed.

It is a huge shame that there has been no Black Cauldron announcement at all. Its not one I watch but I'd still give Disney cold hard cash for it.

Where did you read that Pinocchio won't have a Diamond Edition?

BatB, Snow White Diamond editions?? What is happening?

I wonder how long it'll be before Frozen joins the Diamond Line (at the end of the next go-round of that line now that SW & B&tB are coming out again, maybe?). Of course, it's kind of a meaningless distinction since they don't really do bonus features anymore.

Sighs.

Is there any truth about Pinocchio DIamond coming in early 2016?

And was there a rumour about a BatB re-release (coming from Brazil I believe)?

Well, we'll find out about this quite soon now: no later than October 13th.
Really, releasing BatB next year would make no sense at all.
It's by far a better idea to release it in 2017 at the same time as the BatB live action movie.
Besides, this way, "Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs" could be the first traditional animation movie to get released on 4K Blu-ray in the late 2016, which could be a good choice to introduce the new wave of Disney Movies on 4k support.

Pinocchio is really just a guess, there hasn't been any proof towards its coming.

There was a rumour from a Disney expo at Brazil that Beauty and the Beast would be coming next followed by Snow White, both in 2016 as diamond editions.

Hopefully when Aladdin is released, there will be an insert on the next movie in the diamond line (or whatever the next line is). I think they still do that.

Then again, Disney has made some strange choices in the past. The Jungle Book would have made more sense to be released in the spring of 2016 for the live-action movie. Cinderella really should have been released this year...it would have given them more time to properly restore it considering how they recognized that the Cinderella restoration is botched up.

There can be no comparison. Because, regarding the cases you specified, the periods of time between the release of the live-action movie in theaters and the scheduled release of the 2D original movie concerned by the moratorium on video support were far too long (more than one year) to get synchronized.

Besides "Pinocchio" was released for the last time almost 2 years before "Beauty and the Beast" did, so it is logically the next.

Also, "Beauty and the Beast" already has its Diamond edition, but "Pinocchio" hasn't.

They might schedule something like this:

- Spring 2016: Pinocchio
- Fall 2016: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
- Spring 2017: Fantasia + Fantasia 2000
- Fall 2017: Beauty and the Beast
- Spring 2018: Bambi
...

There's no indication that's happening other than it's the only Platinum left that hasn't gotten a Diamond release.


According to Disney Brazil, the next Diamonds (or whatever they'll end up calling them) are Beauty and the Beast and Snow White.

There's a Snow White Read-Along book coming this February. This kind of book usually comes out around the Diamond Edition release date (They did that with Aladdin, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, etc.)

If the new edition of Snow White comes out this February, then I think that Beauty and the Beast should come out next, to tie-in with the live action movie.

That certainly makes sense. I still don't get why they're skipping Pinocchio though.
