Aladdin (1992) (Diamond Edition)

[Mason_Ireton]

If Disney redraws/uses the majestic lamp poster for the Blu/DVD/digital cover then I'm good yet I'll be fine a family friendly cover like Pan, Jungle Book


Yea after lookin at the diamond covers, Snow White, Bambi, Lady/Tramp and Beauty/Beast had full art while Cinderella started the oval cover which I thought worked well for it/101, I felt torn havin to choose the gold/character cover for Lil Mermaid and wished Jungle Book had full art as well

In all honesty I wouldn't mind a oval cover featuring Aladdin/Genie in the oval and the Magic Carpet flight on the back against the Cave Of Wonder while Jasmine and Jafar are placed on the front

I went back and looked at all the current covers out there. Seems like all the 3D versions got full art. But also some of the later movies did too. Honestly, it seems like Disney just couldn't make up their mind. I mean, all previous movies had some version with a lenticular cover be it regular or an exclusive with the exception of Cars. Now 101 Dalmatians looks to be the second one to not have a lenticular cover in some fashion. So did Disney decide to do away with them along with 3D? This is the problem with Disney, no consistency in anything.

Is this up for pre-order on Amazon yet? I've searched but it has happened in the past where even for searching something didn't yield the right results lol.

[blurayjunkie]

I am very happy this is finally coming out, This was supposed to be out 2-3 years ago, and I have been waiting ever since. I think I will be getting this day one. I hope someday soon Aladdin 2&3 make it to Blu-Ray, does anyone know if this is going to be a Mastered In 4K release??

[Cobolisdead]

I am glad that is is finally getting a US release, but I imported this around two years ago, so I might pass on the US release.

No not yet

When it is, the first post will get updated so it's easy to find.
Not like the hundreds of threads on here by some....this will actually have a useful first post when info releases

Isn't the 'Mastered in 4K' tag a Sony thing? as there are plenty of BD releases sourced from 4k transfers but only Sony plaster it on the packaging like it's something new they invented lol

As for the transfer of Aladdin it could use the same master as the BDs that have been available in the rest of the world for 3 years now.

Sony's the only one who advertises it that way, but other than some proprietary cues for Sony 4K players & TVs it's no different than what the other studios are doing.

Unless Disney is prepping Aladdin to be its first UHDBD release, the video will probably be the same as Europe. Audio, however, is likely to be upgraded much like 101 Dalmatians (DTS-HD MA 7.1 + DD mono instead of DTS-HD MA 5.1).

I would much rather have a Dolby Atmos or DTS:X remix, but the 7.1 overhaul probably was completed before the cinema version-to-near field home mixing and mastering software was made available to home video audio post houses.

[Ernest Rister]

Every Disney animated feature shot on film was captured in 4k for preservation purposes, and quite a while ago. The actual mastering and "restoration" work was done in 2k. For 4k release, all that work would presumably have to be done all over again. So take heart, people upset over Sword in the Stone and Mickey's Christmas Carol and Fox and the Hound and the rest...they'll probably take another crack at those for 4k. Don't know if we'll all live to see them, but that's another story.

the DCP of Aladdin actually has been mixed to 7.1 - so it's literally a given that the bluray will mirror the new mix.

So did I, but I'll order it again for the Digital HD copy.

They haven't mentioned anything about having a 3D version, have they? It would be nice if they did that like they did with Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King. They certainly had the time to add options like that after all the delays.

[CRZYSPZ]

Glad they decided to release this instead of Pinocchio! I'm assuming that'll be next since it hasn't been "Diamondized" unlike Sleeping Beauty.

[qtrules]

those oval slipcover are fugging ugly. thankfully only two of my BDs have them.

[GenPion]

I guess the trailer confirms no 3D release for Aladdin. Too bad as it's the one I hoped for in 3D the most.

[Chaotic]

Disney is done with 3D in the US

[FilmEntertainment]

Why do people think there's a possibility for Aladdin in 3D?
Plus Disney Home Entertainment in the US already given up on 3D blu-rays.

From what I read a while ago The Little Mermaid was the last of four releases which Disney converted in 3D. The other films being Beauty and the Best, The Lion King, and Monsters, Inc. While Ratatouille and The Incredibles are already converted in 3D but still need releases. It would be nice Aladdin to be converted in 3D though.

I think the Pixar movies are separate.

[GenPion]

The Pixar 3D releases were supposed to come out stateside but it's starting to seem a bit less likely. Maybe it will still happen.

As for the Disney classics, The Little Mermaid was the last confirmed 3D title. Just a lot of us seemed to hope Disney might surprise us and would have done one last 3D conversion for Aladdin. Given that it's one of their biggest titles and they didn't release it around the same time as it was elsewhere worldwide.

However, it is pretty clear Disney US has given up on 3D altogether. On home media at least. (A Aladdin 3D re-release theatrically probably would have done just as well as The Lion King 3D and it could have been issued overseas to a more welcoming 3D market.)
