About Special Editions

[MisterMalificent]

I really like the Sleeping Beauty DVD, and am excited about Mulan and Pochahontas, but Im wondering why theyre making a Lilo and Stitch special edition before Black Cauldron, Sword in the Stone, Peter Pan, Oliver and Company, Hercules, Tarzan,Fox and the Hound, Rescuers, Pinocchio, and more. I just dont understand why these movies which should be given some recognition ( especially cauldron, and stone) arent but Lilo and stich ( which just came out is) i just think they should do these first before , what does everyone else think?

I agree the older ones should get redone first, but Lilo and Stich got shafted on its first release and should have had the double disk set from the beginning.

I'd also like to know how dumbo ended up a one disk setup for the anniversary edition.

Disney can make more money with a fresh blockbuster like Lilo & Stitch. There isn't that much interest in Black Cauldron I think

Dumbo was released within a month of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs: Platinum Edition. Disney hadn't been doing any 2-disc sets for older titles yet, and as Dumbo was not part of the Platinum Collection, the single-disc release wouldn't have been a surprise. There will be a 2-disc release somewhere down the line, though.

I think it's because it's easier to create a second disc of extras for recent movies. With the older movies, they have to dig through the archives and try to find the original people who worked on it who are still alive.

I thought that Lilo and Stitch and Pochantas were going to be Masterpiece editons not Special Edition or was there a change of plans and now they are going to be special Editon instead of Masterpiece?

One could argue that that's all the more reason to do them now, not later. But I get your point.

I wonder if we'll ever see a 3-Disc Disney DVD?

Does anyone know if the new version of L&S will have the teaser trailers like the first DVD release? It was one of the features I really liked, and I'm still debating buying a replacement copy of the one I lost or waiting.

Oh boy! Not this again.... What does it matter if a release is ME,SE,PE as long as we get a nice release with 2-discs, excellent a/v and plenty of bonus features. I think we should appreciate that Disney is even going to rerelease L&S and Pocahontas.

[Ludwig Von Drake]

Even though I wish that Disney would release the old movies on double disc editions I doubt they will for a while do to marketing.

Yes, both Lilo and Stitch and Pocahontas will be Masterpiece Edition while Mary Poppins will be a Special Edition.

No, last we heard, Mary Poppins is going to be a 40th Anniversary Edition.

Of course, with these titles, they're just names.

Well Jezzzz my bad forgive for me for asking a question about DIsney DVD realse and a Disney DVD forum whats was I thinking? Besides dosne that bother you how there is no particualr reason for the type of relase well it does me I like organization and order so I was wondering.

Sorry for being so harsh. Yes, I wish Disney would shape up and stick to 2-3 collections properly for a few years, but that just isn't the case. The only reason I metioned that was because I personally dont see much of a difference between an ME or an SE. They're both 2-discers, right? I dont really care if Mulan isn't "qualified" to be a masterpiece because it's special. I do care if Mulan's a PLatinum or Collector's or Golden or Limited. Id o care if Mualn's given a crappy "HOTR" type release. I hope Disney gets better with their releases one day but that day is not today. For now I'm just happy on what we are getting.
