Fantasia/Fantasia 2000 for March 2, 2010 - Blu-ray Forum

crazy88 · 03-11-2009, 01:57 AM

There is talk that Disney will release both versions by late 2010.

brett_day · 03-11-2009, 02:02 AM

any linky?

that would be cool though because fantastia is one of my all time faves!

HumanMedia · 03-11-2009, 03:24 AM

Is this a dual title in the one release, or two separate releases?

My understanding is that it's going to be a dual release, like the collector's edition they released on DVD. (They did a Fantasia 1 disc, a F2k 1 disk, and a 3 Disc set with the two movies plus a bonus features disc). I don't think F2K sold very well on its own, so I think the two movies are now forever locked together. I would imagine it will be a similar 3 disc set on BluRay, with 1 disc of bonus features for both titles.

From all I've read everything has indicated you will not be able to buy one without the other.

Good question, but it is ultimately unknown.
Previously both releases were available separately on DVD and
in a Box set with an extra disc.

I'm going to guess that Fantasia will be released as a Platinum Edition
3 disc set, just like Pinocchio and Sleeping Beauty.
Then Fantasia 2000 will be released separately as a 3-disc set
Blu Film+ Blu Features + DVD copy.
Disney has already stated that all the Platinum titles would
contain a DVD copy with the 2-disc Blu-ray sets.

Disney will also probably bundle the release or possibly
release a box set that features special packaging/a book/film cell
and a 7th disc with Digital Copies of both films. Probably something to do with Mickey's sorcerer's apprentice hat.

But this is all conjecture...so take it as rumor.
I have been pretty good at guessing what Disney will do before!

Oh boy! Count me in! I love Fantasia!

It will sound totally awesome on Blu-ray!

Creak up the speakers baby and let it go!

I was surfing Wiki and stumbled across Fantasia, one way or another. And for those that feel very skeptical about my thread, and I wont say who! You know who you guys are, here is a little something I found, and I quote:

"This restored roadshow version of Fantasia was first released on DVD in 2000, and is the only version of the film to appear in that format. Its sequel Fantasia 2000 soon followed, but both were removed from circulation in late 2004. The two Fantasia films will be re-released as Platinum Editions on DVD and Blu-Ray on March 2, 2010. "

Enjoy!!!!!

I don't think anyone doubts you, man...
Disney announced these titles for release in a press release last year...

http://www.ultimatedisney.com/platin...-20091011.html

According to this announcement...the films will be released seperately, though they might be bundled together.

They also announced Beauty and the Beast for Fall 2010 (and later have specifically stated October 2010.)

The official month (March has been given by Disney, but no actual date has been officially announced. However, it is typically around the 1st of March, give or take a week, so your date shouldn't be to far off. One week earlier or one week later at the most. Thanks for getting the thread started 88!

crazy88 · 03-12-2009, 04:15 AM

Yes I remember Disney announcing it in their press release that it was coming Fall 2010 as well as Snow White, however we were not very clear what month and day it was going fall under. Now we know.

Indian Hills Theater · 04-03-2009, 03:09 PM

I know it is 11 months away. I just hope Disney doesn't screw up the Blu-ray like they did the DVD. Deems Taylor's voice was DUBBED! I could not believe that. So I'm hoping they offer the original sound track as an option.

Beta Man · 04-03-2009, 03:21 PM

I can't wait to pick this one up...... It should be every bit as much an Audio Showcase as a video one....

His voice was dubbed but that was because they lost the original audio tracks or they were never found at the time.

I think it would be very cool if as an option for audio if they could let us also hear the Irwin Kostel stereo track from the early 80's. I know they could figure it in possibly but who knows.

There are losts of things they could do as bonus features for Fantasia but yeah that dubbing was the best they could do besides leaving the audio blank or omitting the Deem Taylor footage.

Well, more accurately, the audio to the scenes exclusive to the roadshow version is missing. All of the Deems Taylor narration from the General Release cut still exists. I think the biggest complaint comes from people upset that all of Deems' narration was over-dubbed for the DVD. Disney's logic was that the change between the original narration and the sound-alike would be jarring, so it was better for consistency's sake to dub everything.

If they give us a seamlessly branched disc that allows us to choose between roadshow and general release version, then this would be no problem since it could be laid over the General Release version perfectly. Actually, seamless branching of the two versions could solve the Deems Taylor issue to eveyone's satisfaction as well.

I am getting Fantasia as soon as it's release, I will be skipping Fantasia 2000 however, I was not that impress with it.
