Sounds like an equipment issue. There’s nothing wrong with that release.

I’m getting more and more excited for this release as the days pass. Idk about the Steelbook artwork, but I think I’ll purchase it anyway because Paige O’Hara painted it. Whether I like the design or not, I like how it’s special and unique. Plus I have TLK in Steelbook so it’d be nice to have a Disney 4K Steelbook collection.

Lol, this is what I told myself I did not need to do. I'm already doing a Marvel, Star Wars and DC 4K steelbook run; I don't need to add every Disney movie too (though I would love to get them all).

I highly doubt BB has any say in the covers whatsoever.

Amazon rarely, if ever, has pre-orders for physical copies of Disney/Marvel/Lucasfilm/Pixar titles. (If they do, it always seems to be third-party sellers rather than Amazon directly.) Thankfully, there are plenty of less awful retailers who don't engage in these sorts of frustrating games.

Of course it isn't, it's a Disney movie...

...and added density, atmosphere, and a sense of life and motion to the static backgrounds. Bambi, in particular, is a different movie with frozen grain.

I’ve noticed this. Why don’t they stock the 4K versions?

When will BATB and Aladdin be available on 4K?

Amazon and Disney have had a slugfest for what seems like years. They're two monsters stomping their way through a major city as people run for cover.

I'm assuming there's going to be a steelbook in the UK? Holding out for that, although I did buy the mondo one recently, so could use that as a 4k case if not.

Now, I think you may be over-dramatizing the situation a bit.

Not really. They both have far too much power as corporations.

Any news about an UK release date? Amazon UK released The Lion King on 4k aswell, so I expect them to release this one aswell?

[Donl1282]

It’s strange how they never included digital copies for the sequels such as Aladdin and the Little Mermaid 2 and 3 when they were released on blu-ray. I hope they will be included if they ever get released on 4K UHD format.

[Swissangel4616]

I hope they Keep the original Songs/Soundtrack and not a new Remix/recording (and for the german 4K/bluray market also the original theatrical dubbing)

6th of March release in Australia — wouldn’t surprise me if the UK followed soon after or in the same week, since both divisions are pretty much married.
