When Disney did their big mall tour like 18 months ago, they had Finding Nemo clips in HD, and claimed it would be coming to Blu-ray "soon".

IMHO, I think there's a bit of a tug-of-war at Disney over releasing Blu-rays quickly to capitalize on the burgeoning Blu market VS adhering to their antiquated "vault" philosophy of only releasing titles at a trickle.

They probably want to move cautiously with Finding Nemo. It is their biggest money-making animated property, believe it or not. (The "Pirates" franchise is their biggest live action money-maker, and that was out on Blu ridiculously fast.)

I don't know if you have notice but Bad Boys is forever coming on Blu..nothing as yet..

But I don't know what that has to do with the header; Disney still has Snow White scheduled for October and Fantasia for '10.

The reason the Pirates movies came out so quickly was because the third one was released in theaters then.
Finding Nemo was a huge success, so naturally they're not going to just slap it on a disc and sell it. They will make an effort here.

Also, Pirates 3 had been intended for Blu literally months before it was released in theaters, as most new-release Blu's are at any studio, and they had enough time to prepare.

There's still a backlog for vault masterings, and only a certain amount of back-catalog titles are allowed to push their way to the remastering labs past the "money" New titles.
Which is why only three or so are announced every month, and well in advance.

Finding Nemo is Disney's best movie?

[BellesPrince]

Beauty and the Beast doesn't come out until next year.

Too true. When I first saw this thread, I thought it was going to relate to a problem with Snow White.

I saw the opening of Aladdin on Disney HD just a few days ago. I was really amazed at the detail in the sand and the textures of the back grounds. I cannot wait until this comes out on BD.

I'd get off Disney animation/Pixar's back just a bit. Their releases have been spectacular so far. Clearly they are taking their time and getting them right. That's all I ask for..get it right.

These are the 2 Disney animated I am really waiting for, hopefully won't have to wait too long for them.

I dont want them to rush the movie but with all the money they got they should already have all out in perfect quality, what gives???

[lobo81865]

Phooey on those newer ones. Give me Song of the South (probably never), the Zorro series, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, and The Swiss Family Robinson on Blu. Also Robin Hood, and The Sword in the Stone.

Money, the same reason Lucas isn't releasing his Star Wars and Indiana Jones movies, the same reason they are releasing the theatrical version only of Lord of the Rings then will likely release the extended edition for a year. The same reason Speilberg only released two of his movies (Close encounters and the "new" indiana jones), but doesn't seem to have any plans to release his movies, yet he calls himself a Blu ray supporter. They are just trying to wait for the opportunity to make as much money as they can for their movies, not to appeal to fans demands. I can guarantee you they have the transfers for the movies all ready to be put on a disc with special features, it is all just marketing.

Disney as a company are in a league of their own. From their theme parks to merchandise and DVD/Blu-ray release. They are VERY methodical. They create demand for their product by not giving it to us. When something goes in the vault, it goes in the vault. They maximize profit by decreasing availability, kind of what the Wii people did
