No firm dates as yet, nope, but I still thought it'd be worth posting them so people know that they're on the way

Like I did with Fox's catalogue wave a little while ago.

Yes, please keep posting! I'll take any info you can give us, KingSimba. It's just a shame that you're having to do the UK distributors' own job for them.

I feel compelled to mention, however, that as ecstatic as I am about all these catalogue BD releases from WBUK in 2012, this after getting something like a whole two catalogue titles in 2011 , I'm still hugely ticked off with WB's treatment of the UK market. This release is a good case in point; I mean, seriously, why aren't WBUK releasing this as a double feature BD, with Arthur 2 included like they did in other markets? It makes no sense, whatsoever, this utter disinterest that WB (and Sony, and Disney, and others) seem to have in releasing titles on BD in the UK, when the UK is one of the largest home video markets in the world.

It isn't just catalogue releases either. WB, to be fair, are pretty good nowadays when it comes to new titles, with most new titles getting a UK BD release (although there's still the odd no show; WTF isn't Midnight in Paris getting a UK BD release, for example?), but Sony and Disney are an absolute embarrassment when it comes to new releases on BD, with far too many of their new releases still being on DVD only in the UK (even when they're happy to release those very same new titles on BD in several other countries).
