Disney puts out *multiple* catalog titles every year, including their animated features. BLu-Ray is a new medium, and it makes no sense for Lucas, Spielberg, Disney, Jackson, etc. to flood the market with their big titles while the market is still in its infancy.

And 101 Dalmatians did *not* get bypassed for a Blu-Ray release because it is hand-drawn or because of its art direction. It was bypassed because it is one of the 14 Platinum titles, and Disney won't start releasing those in Blu-Ray until Sleeping Beauty this Fall.

Never fear, you'll be seeing lots of Disney animation on Blu-Ray (Hercules will be coming sooner rather than later). But Disney isn't choosing these based on line drawings -- the decisions are based on the market.
