Is it only going to be released on dvd?

I HOPE SO!!!

Because I'm sick and tired of the bitching on UD about "no Bluray" on every release, which accounts for 50% of any thread these days... and this would be my revenge.

This is Disney, remember. If it's a new release, they'll do a Blu-ray.

no bitchin allowed.

Don't tell that to those still burning to see Robert De Niro and Clive Owen father/child bonding in HD!

At The Cinema – Waking Sleeping Beauty
http://progresscityusa.com/2010/04/13/a ... ng-beauty/

A lot of disputes still fall into the grey area of history – The Black Cauldron is said to have been a shambles when the new management arrived, but Katzenberg’s first move was to cut out some of the darker moments from the film. This is depicted as a rather common-sense decision, but it would also seem to contradict any ideas about letting the young animators stretch themselves in new directions. In other instances, notably the decision to kick the animation division off the lot to clear up offices for celebrities with new production deals, management clearly went too far.

The film also shows the rise of marketing’s influence and some of the unfortunate effects thereof – notably the much-opposed title change from Basil of Baker Street to The Great Mouse Detective.

There’s a particularly fascinating bit where Hahn transposes archival footage from various interviews filmed in support of The Lion King’s 1994 release. As each executive tries to describe the film, they relate very different stories – each individual has projected the film’s plot through the lens of their own perception. It’s so telling, and serves as a wonderful summation of the story; as one animator is quoted as saying about The Lion King, the film they were making was about themselves.

The Saturday night showing in Orlando is sold out. I guess I'll just wait until it comes to DVD, like I was going to...

Awesome. Can't wait for "The Sailor, the Mountain Climber, the Artist, and the Poet". If the interviews from the documentary are any indication, this should definitely be a treat to watch.
