i think you might have a point

I dont believe its a 7 year cycle because i remember buying a handful of the vault movies within a 2 year span i believe. I think they are on a 8 - 12 month cycle. I suspect that sleeping beauty will come out and then itll be at least 6-12 months before another one comes out. AAnd by classic disney, we arent talking about finding nemo. Disney classics are aladdin, lion king, toy story, sleeping beauty, jungle book, snow white etc. They can take thier time with these releases because i want the best possoble PQ and i have no doubt disney can pull this off

Disney will typically release one Classic title in the Fall and one in the Spring. We just got Jungle Book on DVD and then in the Spring they are releasing 101 Dalmatians, then in the Fall again will be Sleeping Beauty, which they have already announced for Blu-ray. It seems they are coming a little more quickly than they used to because, they would only release one classic title a year, in the fall and then their newest annimated release would be on video in the spring, so they were releasing two a year, but since they really haven't had anything NEW, such as The Lion King in a while, this is the way I suspect they are going to be handling their releases.

When their original ad came out (make it blue!), you may have noticed:
Ten possible titles, and not a single 4:3 movie on the list...

(We're not going to get the classics until somebody can figure out screen-border standards for the rest of the industry, WB can get back on the horse, admit to all the other studios, okay, maybe there might have been other reasons Robin Hood and Casablanca "didn't sell" on HD, and that the public wasn't scared off by weird square movies after all.)

not anymore.. but it did work that way until about tenh years ago

I'm curious how well films like Jungle Book and Aristocats and other later-period Disney movies will fare in being transferred to Blu. I love them as movies but revisiting even the so-called platinum editions, it's easy to see how gritty and dark they are, with a limited animation style that is definitely a notch below the more sumptuous early classics. I think something like Bambi might look better in Blu, but then I guess we don't know what kind of technology awaits. I think their focusing on Pixar releases first though is the way to go.

disney classics are known for their slow release. I've been buying every disney classic titles for DVD for 6 years (the latest will be jungle book this november), and not a lot of classic releases. got to be patient.
