Wouldn't mind seeing "The Black Hole" on Blu-ray. It was cheesy but fun, bet it would look great on BD.

Wow!!! - Not a title that gets mentioned much.

I didn't see it on the list, but yes it would make a good addition to anyones Sci-Fi collection... a must have in fact for any serious Sci-Fi afficionado.

It is though a deeply flawed picture. The premise of the plot is excellent (a sort of captain Nemo in space). There were some dark aspects to the movie (and the book)... the film would have been much better if these had been concentrated on. The film didn't really know what it wanted to be, it was put out as a family film... serious mistake IMO. Properly focussed it could have been a classic like Alien.

The score of the film was one of the best ever... John Barry at the top of his game (wonderfully atmospheric).

Feeply flawed, but I'm a fan (you might have noticed)

I agree Kirsty_Mc. The ending seemed like a 2001 ripoff and I wish the robot wasn't so toy like for lack of a better word, but I thought Roddy McDowall was great as the voice of the robot. It did have its moments with great special effects. A fun movie.

I also agree about the soundtrack, haunting would be one way to describe it.

There aren't too many examples of Disney screwing up, but this was one of them. The Black Cauldron was another. I remember seeing it at Radio City Music Hall when I was like 13 (?), and I thought it was awesome, the parents of small children, however, were not really all that thrilled with it. Go figure that they'd have "issues" with flesh being ripped from the bones of the bad guy... who'd have known?

Where's Toy Story 1? That movie is great.

Many of those titles are were also mentioned at the big BDA shindig in October.

2009 is supposed to be when they ramp up to 3-4 Platinum titles twice a year, but 2008 is looking promising for Disney animation fans: Sleeping Beauty and Finding Nemo are officially slated, Enchanted will likely release next year, Wall-E should be out by next Christmas, The Nightmare Before Christmas is said to be in the pipeline, and Roger Rabbit will be available in France. I hope Roger gets a North American release, and I hope this list continues to grow.

[cathexist]

All these titles will be better sooner than later.

[Seretur]

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is also coming out this Spring, to support Prince Caspian -- and it ought to be a reference-level Blu-ray, judging by the amazing EE that came out last Christmas season.

Glad to see many recent classics from the Katzenberg era -- The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, The Lion King, Pocahontas -- all of which are a must; but where is Beauty and the Beast?

Even with an increased Platinum release schedule, and this BD announcement of older favorites like Jungle Book and 101 Dalmatians (a title I like, if only because I live in Dalmatia), it's curious to see standard DVD editions coming with no corresponding Blu-ray announcements.

Oh well. Whenever they come, they'll be more than welcome in my household.

I can't believe THe Incredibles are not on the list yet?

This has the potential to have mass appeal as it appeals to adults and young ones and is a great movie!!

[darkpoet25]

I know I'm holding my breath until the day I die, but I really would love to get Who Framed Roger Rabbit(Europe is getting this next year), and Tron. I can only imagine how Tron would look on BD.

[tiger roach]

!Que interesante!

There are some heavy hitters in that list.

[indianajdp]

Holy crap.

As a father of three kids, ranging from 1 month to 7 years, I can see that I'll be re-purchasing quite a few of these Disney titles over the next 12 months

Of course, I cannot realistically sell off all that we already have in standard form because, well, those Blu-Rays won't play in the DVD player in the Acadia.

[FruityOatyBar]

SWEET! Pocahontas is on that list!!! That film always get the short end of the stick. I'll be over the mmon if it gets a BD release sometime next year. This is awesome news.
