There are a lot of films out there which were labeled racist, without that being the intent of the writer/producer/director.

Agreed.

Is a BR only release possible for next year, or will Disney more likely wait another decade, to bring it out of "the vault" since their recent DVD release?

What's on the BBFC is for this:

Sadly its just a cheap DVD cash-in re-release. (This time a single disc rather than two, and mostly supplemented by kiddie games and nonsense). The "Part Subtitled" refers to the lyrics being on screen for songs, not any PiP, information or trivia track.

Cream of the crop? Which crop are you talking about? The rushed, sloppy, derivative, loosey-goosey modern crop? Or the refined, bold, inspired, technical stunners of Walt's era?

Dumbo is a statement AGAINST racism and judging people by their appearance, which is why it was so important that "black people" are the ones who stand by and inspire Dumbo to overcome.

If you can't see that and all you see are "black crows", then you're the racist, not Walt.

Having said that, the pickaninny Centaur in Fantasia was regrettable racial humour that permeated the works of all the American animation studios in the 40's, similar to how Middle-Eastern racial stereotypes have been so prevalent in modern animation (80's - today).

Aladdin is an amazing movie! one of my fave disney movies ever! Cannot wait for this to be released along with lion king, nemo etc!

(Fe)Man · 10-20-2008, 02:58 PM

Give me Aladdin, The Lion King, and Pixar's Toy Story and I'd be one very happy dude.

SpaceDog · 10-20-2008, 03:23 PM

It's important for Disney to stagger these releases to keep interest, and to keep up the quality and thoroughness of these blu-ray editions. I wouldn't want them to rush a bit.

What I would be thrilled to see is the promised Lilo & Stitch double disc re-imagined for Blu-Ray. Lilo & Stitch shouldn't be beholden to the platinum release schedule.

I doubt getting Lilo & Stitch out on BD is a priority for the studio considering the DVD release has been out for nearly six years and has yet to go back into the vault.

Are you serious ?

I can understand Sleeping Beauty not being an individual's favorite movie but, their least favorite ?

Sleeping Beauty is far more richer not only in it's animation but, also it's imaginative chemistry compared to Beauty And The Beast.

Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, And The Hunchback Of Notre Dame are more adult than most of Disney works.

jDisney · 02-03-2009, 09:40 PM

I feel it's a must to have Aladdin.

Aladdin has been one of my most favorite Disney movies since I was little.

Pocahontas
Sleeping Beauty
Beauty And The Beast
The Hunchback Of Notre Dame
and
Aladdin are a must in my household.

It have nothing to do with richer or imagninative but how it marked you as a young person. Personnally it was Lion King. I like Sleeping Beauty and the Blu-ray is a work of art, but the pinnacle , for me, was Lion King. Altought i'll buy most if not all Disney 2D animation in a heartbeat regardless of the age of the production just because i like 2D animation.

I enjoyed Lion King aswell, and I can most definitely understand that being someone's favorite or taking a big part in someone's life. I personally liked the Lion King for the same reasons as I do Sleeping Beauty, and that's because Lion King took on a cultural point of view, and the Music was great. Disney took a child (Fun) idea, and presented it in a Spiritual (Different) means that the whole family could enjoy.

Sleeping Beauty marked me more than Beauty And The Beast could ever have. Maleficent, the villain was done wonderfully, and sent goose bump down my skin, and she genuinely scared the crap out of me.
Aurora's voice was done by Mary Costa, and her operatic tone brought magic to the movie. Sleeping Beauty was Definitely Dreamy, I feel the animators realized that, and took this ancient Fairy Tale and presented it wonderfully ( The Animation they used)

Beauty And The Beast and Sleeping Beauty are one of my favorites.

But, Sleeping beauty is definitely more mature (Better) than Beauty And The Beast, and I think Disney did mean it to be for both children, and adults alike where as Aladdin and Beauty And The Beast seem more childlike, bringing the child out of adults leading to it's Golden Globe Nomination.

But, Sleeping Beauty anyone could fall in love with it, with it's technique of both Animation, and creativity.

Hmmm...Beauty and The Beast is the only animated film to be nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars. Not that that means a damn thing.

Personally, love the film. I like old school Disney (Walt) and only like BATB and Aladdin. All the others after (and The Little mermaid) are pretty dull...

Seriously. Log Out, and educate yourself or at least have some intellect on Disney movies previous and after Beauty And The Beast or Aladdin.

I enjoy Beauty And The Beast definitely one of my favorites, too. <3
