Disney's Sleeping Beauty - June 2nd, 2014

[Phil92]

Because Aurora deserves her own thread.

This appears to be a standard release, thus confirming the future (or lack thereof) of Diamond Editions and the vault system in the UK. I'm hoping despite this that the disc itself will be the same as the forthcoming US release with new bonus features (should there be any) and not just a repackage.



Sleeping Beauty Blu-ray

I just want to know where the £22.99 price tag comes from. This is the most expensive Disney amaray there's been on release day (especially condsidering the most recent releases have not exceeded £15 on release). For a non Diamond Edition especially (though those have not been as expensive on release either), this is really confusing.

EDIT: Also, I'd bet that Sleeping Beauty is going to be one of the next Zavvi steelbooks as well.

I have the original Platinum UK release and the picture quality is amazing.

This is the very first classic movie which Disney released on Blu Ray, and I don't think the picture quality has been bettered. They seemed to put so much effort into it.

There is absolutely no point for Platinum owners to get this release, unless Zavvi releases a Steelbook version (in which case I will too!).

I will hold off for the Zavvi edition.

For some reason we in the UK appear to be getting the Sleeping Beauty Diamond Edition Blu Ray scheduled for an October 2014 release in the US in June 2014 as this is the same proposed cover as in their Diamond Edition I wonder if there will be any new features/or an upgrade in the remastering department ( to 4K? ) from the last Platinum release Blu Ray first released in October 2009?

I'll bet it will be the exact same transfer of the film with a few, probably three or four new bonus features and that will be it.

I'm sure that it will be designated as a Diamond Edition , this is to tie in with Maleficent being released in the cinemas!

It'll definitely drop in price. Just about everything new that Amazon lists starts off higher than it will actually be a week before release. I've experienced this on multiple occasions.
