Fantasia/F2K: 2-Movie Collection Discussion: Nov. 30, 2010

[MutantEnemy]

Not with Disney , both Dumbo and Monsters, Inc. were released in region B earlier than in the US.

Yeah, I said GAMES, not MOVIES.
Keep up.

Just came in to say: HILARIOUS!!!!

That is all...

[ajmrowland]

Not to mention not getting KH: RE: Chain of Memories.

So, back to Fantasia.

Dumbo & Monsters Inc are Disney movies.
Not Disney Games.

We got the new Alice In Wonderland game two weeks after the US did.
We got Pokemon a month after the US.

The release of the EPIC MICKEY game will be later for PAL regions.
GAME.

Dear me.

Sorry, thought you meant 'late in the game' (you know, as a figure of speech).

If the rumors about this coming out in November are true, we could be getting an announcement and/or cover art any day now. *fingers crossed*

Finally, official confirmation. Although it is a little disappointing that it won't be released in November but at least now we can stop speculating.

[miniroll32]

Awesome! Thanks

[SWillie!]

Sweet! Although I'm kinda surprised they didn't mention the "Diamond Edition" part. Just "Blu-ray Combo Pack"... hmm.

[UmbrellaFish]

That's nice, but I already know I'll be cutting back on my purchases this year, so who knows when I'll pick it up...

[BwayJ]

If that's the date, then the movie will probably not play the El Capitan at a time when I can go see it.

Fantasia 2000 played all the way back in February (I think). I'm not sure if the original will get a play at the El Capitan but I can see the restoration being what held it back from playing with Fantasia 2000. We'll see see what happens, maybe they have big plans.

[MrIncredible]

Good news to hear we're getting it by Christmas, hopefully if there's some elaborate Special Editions out there, I might hold out to find them under the tree.

Now, as for the theatrical rerelease, why doesn't Disney do what a number of studios have done in recent months in having a one time screening in theatres across North America. At the theatre where I work (as a projectionist) we've done a number of them over the past few months. Basically all they do is have to send out the Blu-ray Disc (the same one we'll end up buying in store) to the theatre and we use our equipment to blow it up onto the big screen. It would look great if done properly, not as great as on one of our digital or even 35mm projectors, but darn it, it does work. Plus Disney can make a whole ton of money from both the Blu-ray release and in the one time screening.

[miniroll32]

Does a blu-ray disc have a better resolution than cinema film then? Thats awesome

[ajmrowland]

No it doesnt. The size of the tv and the fact its digital makes it look good at home, but cinema film has 2-4,000 resolution-4 times that of blu-ray.

[jpanimation]

I think green (1080p) is Blu-ray, yellow (2k) is RealD/Dolby digital projectors, and pink (4k) is a pretty accurate digital representation what 35mm film (basically what films have been using for the past 100 years). So if you sit in the back of your theater, I think Blu-ray wouldn't look too bad but I wouldn't go in expecting it to look as good as 35mm film. Now with those numbers in mind, I want you to imagine the film information a 70mm film print contains and just how large IMAX truly is.


This is the difference between DVD and Blu-ray. If your TV is 1080p, your stretching that little 480p image to fill all that empty space, so it may look blurry, but a 1080p image contains all the picture information (no stretching to fill screen).

That's just the width of the different resolutions. 4K with film means 4000 lines of resolution wide and long, so it's larger than that picture.

[ajmrowland]

Yeah, it's larger than that. There's a height resolution too, dont forget.

[Sotiris]

The link where the date was announced no longer works. Isn't that odd?

Gotta love Disney's marketing department. Such an organized chaos.

Does that mean that the release of the Fantasias has been delayed again? How else would you explain the deletion of the post concerning the release date soon after this post got "discovered" by other sites?
