2012 Disney Diamond Editions

[ChipmunksDad]

Lion King makes it official:

Lady and the Tramp - Spring 2012

Cinderella - Fall 2012

Also likley because of 3D re-release:

Finding Nemo

With the 3D re-releases Little Mermaid is probably in line for 2013 and Peter Pan would be the next of he classics that's due. Perhaps Mermaid in Spring 2013 and Peter Pan in the fall.

Good time to have a little one with all thats coming in the next two years.

I'm not too crazy about Lady and the Tramp or Cinderella. I'd pounce on Little Mermaid and Peter Pan, though. And what I'm really waiting for is Aladdin. Wife would like Mulan.

Both of which are allegedly coming in 2012 as well.

Nemo will *not* be a Diamond release, unless John Lasseter starts putting Pixar films in the Disney Vault (he hasn't yet).

And with the timing of TLM's 3D release, it'll be the other way around: Peter Pan in spring 2013, TLM in the fall. The first Tuesday in October (when Disney has almost always released its fall Diamond & Platinum titles) falls a few weeks *after* TLM 3D hits theaters, just like TLK 3D. (Edit: The fact that 2013 will be only 6 years since the Platinum release of Peter Pan vs. 7 years for TLM does *not* mean TLM comes first; 2012 is exactly the same way--6 years for LatT, 7 years for Cinderella. And for all four films, the Platinum releases came at the corresponding times of the year--LatT & Peter Pan around 3/1, Cinderella & TLM first Tuesday in October.)

Those would be correct per past Platinum release dates. However, for 2014 they might flip 101 & TJB, especially since the live-action 101 went in the Vault last year alongside the animated original (suggesting both will come out of the Vault together). Same is true (but less likely) for Pinocchio & Sleeping Beauty in 2015.

I have a guy I work with (just turned 19) who has not seen The Lion King, Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, basically, any of the classics. I blame that on the vault.

Lady and the Tramp will look absolutely breathtaking on Blu-ray! It's too bad Diamond Editions are only strictly animated because I think a Mary Poppins Diamond Edition is more fitting than, say, The Jungle Book or 101 Dalmatians. Just my two cents.

[MrOlympiaSC]

I can't wait for Aladdin & The Little Mermaid.

[Sven1976]

Will probably get them all.

But, sigh, Pocahontas....

Pocahontas is supposed to be released next year too in non-diamond form.

[KilloWertz]

Lady and the Tramp for sure of course. Finding Nemo as well since it was mentioned. As for anything else, we'll see.

[quangthinh]

I'm crazy about Cinderella!!

[ps3bd_owner]

Looking forward to:
- Cinderella
- Finding Nemo

Two of my favourite Disney/Pixar films.

Nah, the Jungle Book will be a Fall release. The live action 101 released six months after the Platinum release in 2008.

[Arkadin]

what about the non-animated classics?
are they ever going to release another one?

[Britnasty]

Whatever Disney puts out I buy. Simply because they are breathtaking on Blu. I bought Bambi and that's my least favorite Disney movie and even that on Blu changed my position.

101 Dalmatians/Cinderella/Aladdin are high on my list.

And FINALLY, NEMO!

[Sith]

Peter Pan was my favorite Disney movie as a kid. I think I'll just be opening my wallet and buying everything in 2012.

Lady and the Tramp and Cinderella must get bought. And if Nemo and Pan come out, whatever, I'll just drop coin.

I'm right there with you. I'm a little late so I'm paying the price a little bit with having to pay extra for not buying release week. Alot of these purchases are driven by nostalgia. I grew up on my Disney VHS's.

Always collected Disney animated classics over the years - videocassettes, then DVDs, and now Blu-Ray. Always the best quality in whatever technical incarnation is produced. Disney respect their legacy and those who appreciate support them as well. Our new 13-month granddaugher will not complain, either.
