My assumption is that, with the exception of Pinnochio, we will see the rest of them released this year. There aren't that many animated films left as you noted that have yet to be released, and at the rate Disney has been putting them out, we will easily see them this year.
There also isn't any Pixar film being released this year, so thats another title that Disney's films won't be competing for for customer's money.
What I can see though is Disney holding off for one more Diamond edition after Sleeping Beauty, in which they'd have to choose between Pinnochio, 101 Dalmatians, or Aladdin. Of those, I see Pinnochio getting a Diamond release.
I predict that the package films will be released in August (Make Mine Music, etc.) and a couple of the regular films will be released in June (Hercules, Tarzan, etc.)
The black Cauldron is a tricky one, and one I have no idea where they would place. Its one of the few titles I can see carrying over to the next year. If it comes out this year though, probably late september/early october.
Fun and Fancy free will probably be released on its own, due to Mickey being the draw. Ichabod and Mr. Toad will probably be its own release, around Halloween.
