Disney/Touchstone/Hollywood Blu-ray Checklist

[Monster Madness]

Hi. Is there a list of which Disney Blu-Rays are region free? There are some which I'd like to order from Amazon UK, but I'm not sure if they'd play in my Blu-Ray player. I'm American, so I think that makes me Region A.

I know that Marvel, Pixar and the animated line are the biggest moneymakers and top priority... but have they just abandoned the Touchstone library? There's still a number of movies from that line that I'd love to own.... I see no reason why something like Splash or Ruthless People doesn't have a region A release when lesser movies in other studio libraries have seen the light of day.

Lucky for us, we always have Mill Creek.

May I ask something:
Why these Touchstone films aren't released in Europe?
Noone has the rights there?
Or maybe some have been released?
I checked 4-5 and they only have an American release through Mill Creek.

Different markets have different releases. Worth checking Australia for some titles as they are Region B same as Europe.

I didn't ask because I had a problem with Region. (I don't)
I asked in case some of these films could get better releases and restorations in Europe, from companies like Arrow perhaps..

Where did this confirmation come from?

Disney has owned the ABC Pictures catalog of films since the early DVD days. They just usually license it out.

[DasManiac]

So will there ever be any reason given for why The Black Cauldron has yet to be released on Blu-ray?

Thank you for that. Looks like we're never getting it.

However, there IS an HD master. I have a recording of it from HDNET movies.
