Saludos Amigos & The Three Caballeros (2-Movie Collection) coming in 2014?

[Oscar Rothman]

From The Digital Bits:

And here’s something Rumor Mill worthy... the Disney Wiki has listed street dates for upcoming Disney Diamond Edition Blu-ray animated titles, including Sleeping Beauty (10/2), 101 Dalmatians (2/3/15), Aladdin (10/6/15), and Pinocchio (2/2/16). The very same Wiki has also listed the following additional BD releases for this year: Muppets Most Wanted (June), Hercules (6/10), Tarzan (6/10), A Goofy Movie & An Extremely Goofy Movie (2-Movie Collection – 6/24), Mickey, Donald and Goofy: The Three Musketeers (Summer), The Black Cauldron: Special Edition (8/19), Bears (8/26), Fun and Fancy Free (9/30), The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad (9/30), Saludos Amigos & The Three Caballeros (2-Movie Collection – 12/2), Make Mine Music & Melody Time (2-Movie Collection – 12/2), and Planes: Fire & Rescue (12/9). Salt this information appropriately, but still... these dates make sense. Thanks to Bits reader Bill M. for the heads-up.

I ended up prediciting the compilation movies correctly.

I wouldn't be surprised if Fun and Fancy Free and The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad end up being a 2-movie collection too.

I the Disney 1940's films like these.... I want them all!

I wonder if we will have the characters smoking again? I think they removed Goofy Smoking at one point but since then Disney has issued many films that feature smoking with Smoke Warning ads... It would be nice to get the original untouched version.

I just wish these releases started now in the spring and went thru the summer. but still I'm glad it sounds like we are getting them.

I love those movies. Don't know why but I like them better than movies like Dumbo and some of the other big classics they did. Hoping they do a good transfer with some cool special features for these.

I think it's a little bit questionable that after a non-Diamond catalog drought since September all of a sudden there's going to be a deluge such that by the end of the year every Disney animated feature through Frozen will be available on Region A-compatible Blu-ray. It'd sure be nice, but i'm skeptical.

Without any actual announcement and date from Disney I think all of these threads belong in rumor mill.

I understand being skeptical. I am, too, though I'm hoping it's definitely true. Having the rest of the non-Diamond titles released all so close to one another is cool, if it happens.

You think they'd spread it out... unless they're trying to phase out Blu-ray to shift to an all-digital releasing format.


( Just kidding. )

Really like this news. I hope that it's all true. Would be nice to have many of these movies on Blu-Ray finally.

I'm most definitely looking forward to Hercules, Tarzan, Aladdin, and The Three Cabalerros! Please keep the news coming on this thread!

Disney Wikia says "June 14, 2016". Is it accurate?

Probably not. Don't take anything anyone writes on the Disney wiki as gospel unless it's been made official.

This was the same site that predicted this release for June 2015. Then August 2015. Then September 2015. Then November 2015 as an "uncut" DMC Exclusive

I get email notifications every time someone updates the page - every month or two some random pops on there and changes the date - at one point one guy kept changing the page and a moderator would keep changing it back. Eventually the moderator absolutely blasted the guy.
It's pretty good entertainment.

If they release it they should package with it "Walt and El Grupo".

I've got that on DVD and would definitely welcome its inclusion on the set in HD - I mean, how couldn't they?!

[PowellPressburger]

Really hoping this does come out in June!

along with all the other prediction.

As the Animated Thread mentioned that cover is fan made and the Header says Digital Copy which Disney's haven't used that terminology since the end of 2013 a bit after they changed from XML discs to DC+ code. Since Jan 2014 they use the term DigitalHD on cover art

I guess if they keep moving the dates back long enough they might be right sometime.
Hey if they are right we'll have 5 releases going into the vault by the end of the month with no advance notice at all

It's fan made in the sense that the blu-Ray border around the artwork has been photoshopped on by a fan.

But it should be noted that the actual artwork itself is from the website of the guy who Disney commissions to do a lot of their covers.
