Aladdin (1992) (Diamond Edition)

[D2Girls]

I already know how good its going to look, too.
In my spirited away blu, there's a preview/trailer for the blu release of Aladdin. Only has about 45 seconds of footage, but the footage that IS there is spectacular looking.

I know; the spacing is very odd to me, too.

Also, I noticed a pattern with Diamond Edition/3D releases: 2011 and 2013 both had "Disney Renessance" titles being released in 3D (Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King in 2011, The Little Mermaid in 2013). I wonder why Aladdin isn't going to be in 3D. (I blame Genie's glow being tough to work with.) (And no, I don't think it's because of a lack of theater release, as Beauty and the Beast's 3d release shows.)

It costs money to create a 3D presentation, and it only made sense to convert it in 3D if a theatrical release was planned.

Beauty and the Beast did get a 3D theatrical release (paired with the short Tangled Ever After) after the Lion King's 3D theatrical release did well. Sure, it got a 3D BD release prior to Its 3D theatrical release, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was always intended to be released theatrically in 3D.

But BATB, along with Finding Nemo and Monsters Inc.'s 3D release failed to achieve the numbers the Lion King earned. So The Little Mermaid's 3D theatrical release was canceled (along with Cars and Ratatouille).

Okay, then. Thanks for the info.

(On the Blu-Ray itself, I think I'll be getting the Disney Store preorder with lithographs. I recently discovered that they are roughly 1.5-1.75x the size of a letter piece of paper, and the picture choices are great (apart from Stock Art Jafar's). I only got into Disney Blu-Rays in May-June, but still, they're great to have!)

Aside from blatant censorship, the main problem people seem to have with that change is it being so obvious. The dubbing for the replaced vocal is much deeper than the original, which makes it stand out more...and not in a good way.

Xmjonny. Pinocchio comes out in the spring and that is the last.

I can't wait for the digibook! Those are my fave. I don't understand how Disney decides which releases get which editions. Little Mermaid had a digi, Aladdin will, but Lion King & Beauty and the Beast didn't. Would've loved the whole set. Why not them instead of Cinderella & Peter Pan? Hell, even the horrible Brave got one. Smh

I just preordered the Best Buy exclusive of this.

[JAL4U2C]

So far, i've preorder both the Target Digibook and the Best Buy Lenticular. Wonder if there will be some kind of steelbook like they did with Big Hero 6?

[The_Iceflash]

Any pictures of the lenticular cover yet??

[Justadoo444]

Disney Movies Anywhere has posted the "Genie-Oke" for "Arabian Nights" on the application, but not on YouTube yet. There's less effort put in than the one for "One Jump Ahead", but it's still nice IMO. It shows screenshots of the movie with the lyrics cutting into the middle revealing the next screenshot, and that's about it.

EDIT: Still getting the digibook anyway but this does look really nice.

Aladdin looks off model, but I'll take it! Who's picking this bad boy up for me?

[Brian81]

I forgot...does Best Buy charge a card when the item ships or at the time of pre-order? I want the exclusive - I think it might sell out fast, as ALADDIN is a popular one.

[Lnds500]

lol, Aladdin looks like and old hag

i don't THINK so, unless you use PayPal. I just used PayPal because it came out right away and I didn't want to forget about the purchase and then accidentally spend the money elsewhere, etc.

Best Buy will put a hold on your card when you pre-order. Then it goes away after a few days. Then when the item ships they actually charge the card.

Yikes. I hope it is a moving lenticular card, where it is animated, or that is a huge disappointment.

[startrekkin58]

Yikes... I might just go with the digibook this time. This isn't doing much for me.
