Disney's Remaining Films
With Jungle Book dropping yesterday we now have five major films left: Aladdin, The Black Cauldron, Hercules, 101 Dalmatians, and Tarzan (I have no idea how they intend to categorize The Adventures of Ichibad Crane or The Three Cabalaros - they are shorts, but so was Mickey's Christmas Carol and they gave that a separate Blu release) So anyway, I just picked up Jungle Book, inside was one of their inserts that proudly touted, "Sleeping Beauty - Diamond Edition" coming this fall. Now we all know there was "Platinum Edition" early on, and there was word early on that they'd re-release "Beauty" and "Pinocchio" as Diamond Editions. Setting aside any debate about whether or not there'll be new transfers or new Bonus Features (my God both films look gorgeous and are loaded with extras so I can't see room for improvement) WHAT NOW is the schedule?? I'd heard internet rumors that 2014 would be IT, the last year they'd push the rest of the catalogue out. BUT if a) they only do two Diamonds a year and b) if "S.B." is a Diamond then they're going to have to go into 2015 to add Pin and as I understand Aladdin will be a Diamond too.
So....anyone know anything about the new schedules? Will there be another Diamond after Aladdin, S.B. and Pinocchio? Would it be 101 D? Any ideas how they deal with Crane and Three Cabalaros? My Disney Shelf yearns for completeness!
