Aladdin and other disney Blu-rays

[punkguy03]

So, with the release of The Lion King this october, I got to thinking about other disney releases that we will see soon.

Specifically of course is Aladdin, which is supposedly due to be released next fall (2012). Any news on Aladdin or any other disney blu-rays that don't have a specific thread. Feel free to discuss here.

According to what I have read fantasia replaced it and Aladdin is due out next year, aladdin's 20th anniversary.

i cant wait for Aladdin

my fav disney film


its prestige may have been marred what with the sequel and the television series

but its still on top of my list

[Mandalorian]

Man I want Tarzan and Aladdin on blu-ray so, so bad. And The Lion King is my favorite, so I'm stoked for that one.

What about Finding Nemo? Every Pixar movie is on blu except for that one.

I agree the sequels were not as good, but they weren't horrible IMO. You can tell that robin williams wasn't genie in the second movie tho, since they don't have very many jokes as the 1st and 3rd did. Also, the salesman who is in the beginning of aladdin isn't in two, but he is in 3.(he was voiced by williams)

I liked the 1st and the 3rd the best, and according to rumors it may already be finished. So they may be putting all 3 in a set just like lion king.

Didn't they announce it a couple times already? It seems like they just keep changing it.

It always amazes me that movies like this are not at the forefront for blu ray releases. Love it or hate it, Finding Nemo would make a killing. Plus the PQ would be off the charts. Even some of the Ernest movies are on blu now.

Disney knows they own us lock, stock, and barrel when it came to releases on vhs, dvd, and now blu ray. here's hoping the following see the light of day soon (or at all!) on BD:

The Little Mermaid
The Hunchback of Notre Dame
Tarzan
Cinderella (2012 rumor?)
Return To Neverland
Hercules
Mulan
Lilo & Stitch

Forgot about Mulan and Lilo & Stitch. I want those two as well. Maybe Hercules too.

I would love mulan. My girlfriend wants hercules very badly. I think tarzan would be beautiful on blu it's got great scenery and the colors would look great.

I'd also love to see Pocahontas, The Sword in the Stone, and The Brave Little Toaster on blu ray. The last one would be for pure nostalgia.

I've mentioned in similar threads that I'd love to see Aladdin released on Blu; its one of my fave Disney films period, and easily in my Top 50 overall. As for the boxset, that would be awesome, but it'd be even better if they got Williams to redub the Genie for "The Return of Jafar".

The Hunchback of Notre Dame

YES!!!

I went to an advanced showing of this when it first came out, and I've loved it ever since. The only moment that creeps me out is the "Hellfire" sequence with Frollo and the fireplace. The rest of it is easily 10/10; too bad the sequel mostly sucked (except for JLH's singing in it).

According to what I have read fantasia replaced it and Aladdin is due out next year, aladdin's 20th anniversary.

I really hope that Disney changes their mind. Aladdin should be released as a Diamond Edition Blu-Ray it is a Masterpiece that deserves that Ultimate HD Treatment. But I heard that Disney plans on doing a 20th Anniversary Blu-Ray.

The reason why Aladdin was taken out of the line was because the Platinum Edition DVD of Aladdin sold two million copies in one year, Disney found that to be really low because the Platinum Edition DVD of Snow White sold two million copies in one week.

Fantasia was supposed to replace Aladdin as a Diamond Edition, but they took it out of the Diamond Blu-Ray line.

Disney did a terrific job with the Alice In Wonderland 60th Anniversary Blu-Ray, it showed that a Disney movie on Blu-Ray doesn't need to be a Diamond Edition.

For those who aren't familar with Disney's release patterns, the Diamond Edition Blu-ray releases are said to be following the same schedule as the Platinum Edition DVD releases. If this is true, the time table should be as follows:

2009: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
2010: Beauty and the Beast
2011: Bambi & The Lion King (Fall)
2012: Lady and the Tramp (Spring) & Cinderella (Fall)
2013: The Little Mermaid & Peter Pan (not sure what order)
2014: The Jungle Book & 101 Dalmatians (not sure what order)
2015: Sleeping Beauty & Pinocchio (not sure what order)

Now, this should be taken with a grain of salt as Disney could always switch things up, have a delay, or even insert additional titles into the Diamond line. The last two Platinum titles, Sleeping Beauty and Pinocchio, are already on Blu-ray, but will probably still be re-released as Diamond Editions. Not sure how they could get any better than the previous Blu-ray release, but maybe they'll add something extra (3D?).

As for the non-Diamond titles, it's anyone's guess as to when Disney decides to put them on Blu-ray. I really hope the rumor about Aladdin in 2012 is true, and I'd love to see Hercules and Tarzan on Blu-ray, too. Any of the 90's films would look spectacular in high definition!

Dalmatians should have had a blu release last time it came out.. remember being pissed it didn't . Jungle Book must fall in the same group though I can't remember thinking it should be released on BD. Jungle Book and Nemo are 2 I can not wait for on BD though.

Or at least they were, as they're now back in the Vault.

I don't think they'll even attempt to improve them come the Diamond Editions, as it's just cheaper not to and everything possible to release that accomodates those films has already been released.

The Jungle Book came out in late 2007, which would have just been too early to release it, seeing as Blu-ray had only just come out to the HD war.

I agree aladdin should be a platinum title, but does the quality become affected if it isn't one? I always thought the platinum was just a title given to certain movies that sold well. Does it change the pq and what not if it isn't a diamond edition?

[DarthDVDS]

Emperor's New Groove. That is one of my favs, anyone else looking forward to it's release?

Nope, it shouldn't affect the quality at all. Many people rave about the quality of the recent Alice in Wonderland release on Blu-ray, and that wasn't a Diamond Edition. Disney loves special titles and anniversaries - it's just another way to convince shoppers that this is the release they "have to have."

Aladdin will be a great BD. I would like to see the Emperor's new Groove as well. Can't wait for the Lion King.
