You are confused by Disney's marketing from the 90's during the heyday of VHS when every film was branded as "Disney's (insert number here) animated masterpiece." They have since abandoned labeling these films that way. The real list you need to look at are the animated films made by Walt Disney Animation Studios (formerly Walt Disney Feature Animation). The list of features made are:

1.) Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
2.) Pinocchio
3.) Fantasia
4.) Dumbo
5.) Bambi
6.) The Three Caballeros
7.) Saludos Amigos
8.) Make Mine Music
9.) Fun and Fancy Free
10.) Melody Time
11.) The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad
12.) Cinderella
13.) Alice in Wonderland
14.) Peter Pan
15.) Lady and the Tramp
16.) Sleeping Beauty
17.) One Hundred and One Dalmatians
18.) The Sword in the Stone
19.) The Jungle Book (last film made while Walt Disney was alive)
20.) The Aristocats
21.) Robin Hood
22.) The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
23.) The Rescuers
24.) The Fox and the Hound
25.) The Black Cauldron
26.) The Great Mouse Detective
27.) Oliver & Company
28.) The Little Mermaid
29.) The Rescuers Down Under
30.) Beauty and the Beast
31.) Aladdin
32.) The Lion King
33.) Pocahontas
34.) The Hunchback of Notre Dame
35.) Hercules
36.) Mulan
37.) Tarzan
38.) Fantasia 2000
39.) The Emperor's New Groove
40.) Dinosaur
41.) Atlantis: The Lost Empire
42.) Lilo & Stitch
43.) Treasure Planet
44.) Brother Bear
45.) Home on the Range
46.) Chicken Little
47.) Meet the Robinsons
48.) Bolt
49.) The Princess and the Frog
50.) Rapunzel (December 2010)

That is the official list that is found in the Disney Encyclopedia and that is what collectors go by. So far they have released Snow White, Pinocchio, Sleeping Beauty, Dinosaur, Chicken Little, Meet the Robinsons, and Bolt on Blu-Ray. Sleeping Beauty is being discontinued in January when it returns to the "vault."
