Are you referring to the Platinum Editions? I think they're "Special Editions" in the UK, which probably complicates matters. The PE line is quite specific in North America and consists of less than a dozen titles so far, released no more often than twice a year---one in spring and one in fall; the first was Snow White in 2001, Peter Pan and Jungle Book were this year's. There have been North American 2-disc deluxe "Special Editions" that are probably Platinum in all but name (Sleeping Beauty springs to mine), but they aren't officially Platinum titles.

Favorite quote:

With noticeable passion he talked about how breathless all the studio brass were when they got their first glimpse of "Sleeping Beauty" on Blu-ray.

never missed any single of them (except pixar titles). Classic??? never missed.
It's released in US first, then few month later, the UK version comes out under "special edition / 2 disc special edition". It's always like that. Snow white - I got the last copy available in Tower UK. Beauty and the beast - 2002, I got the UK and french version.
