Which Disney film should have a upgrade very soon?

Post by MickeyMousePal »

I have notice that only The Rescuers, The Great Mouse Detective, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Fantasia 2000 and Treasure Planet have not receive any special treatment.

Which Disney film from the poll should have the up grade treatment.
I pick The Hunchback of Notre Dame should be Masterpicec Edition

You only could vote for the 5 that I mention.

The others are

Platinum Edition
Special Edition
Masterpiece Edition
Limited Issue
Gold Collection
60th Anniversary

The Rescuers should be Gold Collection
The Great Mouse Detective should be Special Edition
The Hunchback of Notre Dame should be Masterpicec Edition
Fantasia 2000 should be Special Edition
Treasure Planet should be Gold Collection

Treasure Planet and Fantasia 2000 have received plenty of special treatment. Fantasia 2000 has two commentaries, a nearly hour-long documentary, and each segment has a nice amount of bonus features on Disc 3 of the Fantasia Anthology. Treasure Planet may not have the best layout, but it's got a nice commentary, and quite a few extras on the film too.

For that matter, Hunchback has a very entertaining half-hour Making-of documentary and a commentary, even if it was scaled down from plans to do a 2-disc set.

I'd rather rebuy The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad or Oliver & Company before any of these, but the fact of the matter is I don't think any of these will be revisited anytime soon, with the exception of Hunchback.

Then again, Disney may just start churning out 2-disc sets for all the animated classics seeing how well they'd undoubtedly sell.

Pinocchio should most definately have an upgrade as soon as possible, and its probably on the top of my list.

Luke is so right: Ichabod & Mr. Toad should get a 2-Disc set.

Personally of the classics that either have not been released at all or have been released only on one disc editions, the Fox and Hound tops my list. I remember seeing that in the theater as a kid, and I have always had a soft-spot for that one.

Of the ones listed, I choose the Great Mouse Detective.

I'd like to vote for 2 but i can't. I think The Rescuers and The Great Mouse Detective deserve an upgrade, like a new DVD including a remake of the VHS classic artwork(1992/1993)

Luke, all five are just standard DVD's they don't have a banner that says Platinum Edition, Special Edition, Masterpiece Edition, Limited Issue, Gold Collection and 60th Anniversary.
All I'm saying that they should have been better also.
They just put them as standard DVD and that's not fair for them.
Others like Tarzan, Emperor's New Groove and Altantis: The Lost Empire got Collectors Edition.
This is not fair for the 5 animated Disney Classics. :twisted:

So you're putting more stock into what they're called than what's on the disc?

Fantasia 2000 is in The Fantasia Anthology, which is most definitely labeled a Collector's Edition. But to consider Oliver & Company any better a disc than The Great Mouse Detective or Hunchback because it has the Special Edition name on it is kind of silly.

Treasure Planet is too new for a rerelease, imo. Fantasia 2000's future is pretty obvious, so no point in discussing it.

From your list, MMP, I'd say The Rescuers. But as Luke said, there are worse sets labeled with better banners that deserve upgrades.

I voted for the Hunchback of Notre Dame becasue I think it would have some great Extra features I think it should be a part of the Masterpiece Collection. I know one movie I would realy like to see re-relased is Hercules and I think it too should be part of the Masterpiece collection.

I would argue The Great Mouse Detective because it is quite possibly the best of that bunch, and has had the least done to it. It has a little making of, and some shorts but that's it really. At least the Hunchback DVD has some substance (a commentary!).

I also think the film itself is an underrated classic. I mean, VINCENT PRICE is in it. That alone should have made it a certified Platinum Title!

I know it isn't on the list, but I think the Black Cauldron is due for special treatment too.

No doubt about it, The Rescuers.
I cannot even watch the current release anymore.

I totally agree with indianajdp. The Rescuers is seriously due to a special treatment. The transfer needs help asap!
