So, where's all the catalog live action from the 90s, 80s or before. Where's stuff like Jungle 2 Jungle, The Santa Clause 1 or even Flubber? Surely they must already have high def transfers. Then there's classics like Mary Poppins, which has had countless DVD releases with what appear to be a transfer from an HD source? And where's all the animated stuff sure we they're making their way to Blu-ray but at what rate, we get three in the span of a couple of months then we go six months with nothing.

I would agree that it takes a long time for older titles to come out. But it's my understanding that replication is the key issue. There are only so many places that do it and with new titles coming out each week, I think studio's have a hard time getting to back titles. Also it the 80's and such, I'm sure they are taking their time transferring to blu. I've been way disappointed in a few releases from those decades, such as Uncle Buck, From Dusk till Dawn (so-so) and Overboard to name a few. I think we just have to be Happy with what is coming and hope they get to the good titles soon. Besides, I like looking forward to things and This September has a lot of great titles coming, So I'll be broke anyway. Scarface and Star Wars were two I was looking forward too for a while. Lion King is just around the corner too.
