Well, it's a lot earlier than originally announced, but in my eyes, that's a good thing. It leaves some breathing room for some other DACs to hopefully be released. I hope that Disney can hold onto this date and not have to delay at all.

Glad to see that a release date has been announced and that it is sooner than expected! After Tangled, it seemed like we wouldn't see any worthwhile Blu-ray/DVD releases until the Fall.

Here's hoping we get something else over the summer (hopefully the 2 Studio Ghibli titles that the rest of the world now has).

* Great Value! 2-Movie Collection Combo Packs Include both Movies on Blu-ray and DVD!
* All-new Digital Restoration of Fox and the Hound With Enhanced High Definition Picture And Sound
* 30th Anniversary Special Edition: Celebrate 2 Timeless Tales of True Friendship
* "Unlikely Friends" A fun, fascinating collection of stories about surprising friendships within the wild animal kingdom
* Passing the Baton: Making of The Fox and the Hound Featurette
* And More!

So both films will be in HD.

Yes. My interpretation is that both movies will be on the same disc as well.

Just noticed "Plus, this 3-Disc Combo Pack includes a DVD of each film!" so it should be:

Disc 1: Fox and the Hound/Fox and the Hound 2 (Blu-Ray)
Disc 2: Fox and the Hound (DVD)
Disc 3: Fox and the Hound 2 (DVD)

JOKE.

Someone make a custom cover.

Oh, so how will they advertise this trailer since I don't think they have anything scheduled to release before June 7th. It's trailer hasn't been with any release so far if I'm right.

I think it was already included on something, possibly The Incredibles and/or the Cars re-release that came out a few weeks ago? However, I do not think they had a date with the trailer, and the booklet that came with Bambi or Tangled (or both) stated September 2011. Maybe they figure this isn't as much of a "big ticket" release and are just going to put it out there to sit on the shelves for an eternity (Hercules, anyone?).

Grrr. Unless this has a $10 coupon and I can get it for like $11 somewhere, this will be the first DAC I will be skipping on blu-ray till it gets a single film release one day.

Be prepared to wait. It appears that Disney doesn't have the confidence in The Fox and the Hound to trust the casual fans to pick it up without the extra movie included.

There will be no single disc release.

Fantasia is back in the vault and in the US we never got separate releases, and Fantasia and its sequel are waaayyy more known/popular than The Fox and the Hound and its sequel. Fantasia 2000 even had a theatrical release and still didn't get a solo Blu-ray release.

But anyway, I'm glad the release date is soon, I thought we'd have to wait until fall before we saw a new DAC.

Does anyone know the MSRP for this set? When I bought Fantasia/2000 on release week at Best Buy, it was on sale for $29.99 and then I had the $10 DMR coupon. I'm hoping for at least that same offer, ideally maybe $5 cheaper.

Has the page been taken down? I tried the link again: http://disneydvd.disney.go.com/the-fox- ... ction.html and it says the page cannot be found!

I'll be in WDW that week, and June 7 is my birthday, so I'm looking forward to picking this up in the parks. Will definitely cost more than a B&M store sale price (plus DMR coupon if there is one), but it's worth it.

The page seems to come and go throughout the day. When I first read this thread, the page was accessible, then I got the Error 404 page, then got the page again.

I don't think the MSRP is known yet, but I hope we get this "2 Movie Collection" for LESS than what Fantasia was available for on release week, as I don't think The Fox and the Hound and Fantasia are on the same level. Also, Fantasia 2000 was a legitimate, canon, theatrical sequel, while TFatH2 was direct-to-video. All that and the fact the both TFatH films are pretty short.

It'd be nice to get this release really cheap, like the Alice in Wonderland $9.99 at Best Buy deal after DMR coupon, but we'll see.

It should be cheaper if only because the Fantasia collection had two Blu-ray discs, and this has one. If for nothing else, I'd expect they'd want to keep the price lower because of that.

All fixed.

And now we know why Tod is holding his head sideways.

Whuut?! I thought this was supposed to be released in September. Maybe they moved it since Dumbo is supposed to come out of the vault in September now. I wonder if they'll release this on dvd as well. I just got the 25th anniversary edition for christmas 2010 but i don't have part 2 yet so hopefully the dvd stays in print!
