Disney's audio all over the map, in a very good way!

[Canada]

I have noticed that Disney's/Buena Vista's audio has been all over the map lately. They some times go with True HD or Uncompressed now I see according to http://bluray.highdefdigest.com/sleepingbeauty.html the audio for Sleeping Beauty will be DTS MA 7.1 I don't know why Disney doesn't stick with one type of lossless audio. I do not want to kick a gift horse in the mouth (because they could be like Warner and just give us Dolby Digital 5.1 ), but I am asking why?

I know Disney/Buena Vista used Uncompressed PCM on all early releases like most studio's but after they made the switch to True HD they put PCM on Season 4 of Grey's Anatomy, Kill Bill and Kill Bill Volume 2.

I think Lionsgate is the worst when it comes to sticking with an audio codec. They have pretty much used every codec at one point in time.

Not True, for there advanced codecs they have used plain DTS at 1.5 MBPS, DTS HD at 3.0 MBPS, PCM 7.1, and DTS MA 7.1 that is it I belive for there advanced codecs. They have not used True HD to my knowledge.

They also used DTS MA 5.1 on Rambo II & III

I believe those plain DTS track where actually DTS EX soundtracks.. and you are right about Lionsgate's lack of TrueHD.

PCM 7.1 for sleeping beauty

Lionsgate's releases of the show Weeds I find the most annoying.

Season one - DTS-ES Matrix 6.1

Season two - PCM 7.1

Season three - DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1

That's what the press release says, and Disney's official Blu-ray site. But Disney's dedicated Sleeping Beauty Platinum release site says DTS-HD MA, and the email reply I received today from BVHE reads:

Thank you for your e-mail. According to our records and sources, the upcoming Blu-ray release of Sleeping Beauty will contain a 7.1 DTS-HD Master Audio (48kHz/24-bit) track. We appreciate your interest in this title.

I confess I find the (bolded) caveat amusing; it's not exactly an unequivocal confirmation. Since they're most likely the source of the press release spec-ing PCM, it would seem that someone somewhere is out of the loop. I suppose we won't know for certain until screeners start arriving?
