Actually starting to wonder if they’re putting out a bunch of physical media before Disney+. I laughed it off when people would post it here before but how much they’re putting out soon is far from the norm for Disney.

Disney finally realizing there can be money made on physical media, all the while happily coexisting with digital(which will also make money).

Again, wish it was 4k. With all of these new 4k SBs this will have to have be really nice before I’ll buy it.

I'm sucker for all things Dalmatians (have a 3 yr old Dalmatian)so I will be picking this up even if there is no 4K

I have never upgraded any of my old Disney movies from VHS, so I too will be picking this up either way. I'm glad to see Disney re-releasing all of the classics.

It’s more so bolstering it’s recurring revenue, it expects to see customers move to streaming so it makes sense to strengthen the weakened area also.

Markets are not zero sum and Disney probably makes the most revenue of the current physical market

We worked out how much Disney made in 2018 via physical media and it was jaw dropping.

They are not going to leave it behind

Would buy day one if it were 4K, but without that, they'll need to really knock the artwork out of the park.

can 1961 movie even be 4k?

You'd be surprised how many older films were filmed in native 4k.

i had to look up some stuff about this a while ago and i still dont fully understand it still but it has something to do with movie film being in insanely high definition. higher than we've had at home 10+ years ago. So many older films were filmed on movie film in a 4k resolution a long time ago but were redone in a lower quality so we could watch at home.

While more modern films tend to be filmed digitally and are usually 2k (or 1440p) then upscaled to 4k (2160p) on the 4k physical disc.

For example if you pull up the new dumbo (2019) 4k version on this site you'll see at the top
Resolution: Upscaled 4K (2160p)

and at the same time pull up an old movie like the Batman Forever (1995) movie on this site and it'll say
Resolution: Native 4K (2160p)

It's still a little wonky to understand and feels a little deceptive of them but it is what it is. basically an upscaled 4k is probably between 1440p (2k) and 2160p (4k) while a Native 4k should be actual 4k 2160p resolution.

Which is why some films look much better than others even though you bought the "4k" disc for both of em. regardless it should be an increase on quality from a 1080p/Blu-ray film.

Hope this helped a little

[Hardback247]

I wonder why Disney isn't take the 4K opportunity with Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and 101 Dalmatians this year. Now I'll probably have to wait several more years for 4K versions of them.

[pi2loc]

Again, no 4K no buy.

Hopefully a regular Signature Edition with slip is being released. I have to complete my slip WDSC.

Of course. It was shot on 35mm film.

Disney's trying to get back the $19 Billion they paid for Fox sooner than later.

When are they going to release the cool ones, like Sword in the Stone, Robin Hood, maybe The Black Hole?

I would kill for a Robin Hood Steelbook but unfortunately that's unlikely

There is a Zavvi Steelbook, so no need to kill anybody.
