Disney's Sleeping Beauty - June 2nd, 2014 - Page 2 - Blu-ray Forum

Deco King · 04-14-2014, 05:31 AM

I will be buying this release as I buy all the classic vintage animated Disney features on Blu Ray , and as I love Maleficent I shall be adding this to my collection! The cover art is to tie in with Angelina Jolie's Maleficent movie which will be coming out on May 30th in cinemas and I'm sure the shops will be overflowing with Maleficent models/toys etcetera , hence her prominent inclusion on the cover! I think that another great image they could have used would have been Maleficent with the flames as in the poster from the 1970's/80's which was used on the Castle label vinyl Sleeping Beauty album!

I wouldn't be surprised if the UK re-release is a slipless, single disc repackaging of the original release!

I had a look at my original release over the weekend. Its true that Disney don't make them like they used to. The slip on the original looks amazing compared to recent releases.

'If it is just a slipless single disc then £16 at Amazon or £22 at Zavvi is a hefty price tag. For this pricing I would expect something much more substantial than a single disc and boring bog-standard packaging. They should make every release special.'

Disney UK doesn't do special anymore. Bare minimum is what they are best at.

Disney classics are always pretty pricey in the UK, even though we always get a lot less than the US does. Best you can hope for is a Zavvi steelbook! (which i'm not into but i know many are)

Firth · 04-14-2014, 09:12 AM

Yeah I know. In America they get slipcases all year round, but ours are limited edition only. I pre-ordered Frozen 3D expecting to get the slipcase with it, but it was not included. It cost me £18. Then I went on ebay and managed to pick up a slipcase, which cost me a further £10, so overall I paid £28. We should get what the US get.

I think it's pretty much a given that that's all it's going to be. It'll probably just be the first disc from the Platinum Edition if that.

I hate steelbooks. They're not even books, they are steelboxes.

Looks like the only new feature on this release is exclusive to the DVD. Odd.

Cancelled my pre-order. A numbered spine just isn't worth £15 odd.

Not new. The Tchaikovsky documentaries were on the original blu-ray set, on disc 2.

WernerP · 04-19-2014, 09:34 PM

I am so not going to re-buy this, the version I have from a few years ago already suits all my needs, thank you. Disney: first make work of the classics you haven't released yet before starting to re-issue your old ones.

biomerge · 04-20-2014, 12:23 AM

I hope we get a slipcover with this release; I wasn't able to buy the Platinum edition. It really does suck that Disney UK has been releasing poor Diamond editions etc here; it would've been nice for all releases to have slipcovers for collecting purposes but hey what are you gonna do? Look at how amazing the US releases are; even their sequels were given beautiful covers.

It's just a quick cash grab to promote and tie in with the new Maleficent movie. No effort put in at all. The next rerelease will have new stuff though but that is 7 years away.

nishomac · 04-20-2014, 12:30 PM

Ok I missed out on the platinum release, does this new version have Blu ray/DVD combo ?

Damn, bidding on ebay for a new sealed UK version with slip cover for 23 quid.

Brightstar · 04-21-2014, 11:49 AM

I will buy Angelina Jolie's Maleficent instead of this

chip75 · 04-27-2014, 02:01 PM

As Brother Dobby posted in the Disney thread this is now £10 to pre-order.

MrClarke · 04-27-2014, 04:14 PM

i wonder if this will be region free. I'm sure Zavvi will be doing a steelbook and this is one of my faves. I'd like to get it if it's not locked.

88thCrazy · 04-27-2014, 05:14 PM

I've pre-ordered it at £10. Never been the biggest fan of Sleeping Beauty, but its a shame they couldn't have included the 2nd disc of features.
