Wow, I'm really surprised by both this announcement and the cover artwork! It's actually quite tasteful, and the Hunchback one is gorgeous. That may be the first Disney cover that actually makes me want the movie more instead of less, haha.
That's definitely going to be an expensive day, though. Hunchback and Mulan are huge favorites of mine, and I'll be getting Atlantis and Brother Bear too. Never seen the former and I haven't seen the latter in years, but I've heard good things about both.
Hopefully this means Robin Hood, Lilo & Stitch, Sword and the Stone, and several others aren't too far off. Next year really could be amazing if they release another 'wave' of titles in the summer!

You ARE paying the same price you would for another movie. Alice in Wonderland, Aristocats, Pocahontas, Rescuers, & the Cinderella sequels all run for $29.99 and the DVDs $19.99. It's not like Fantasia in 2010 when that set was more expensive for 2 movies. And so what if they put the "cheapquel" on the same disc, you know disney is being cheap as hell, other than that you don't have to ever press play, duh. It baffles me you guys are missing out on some of your favorite films (in your precious HD) because you get an extra "long cartoon" which you are in no way obligated to watch. Maybe I'm the one that's crazy. Oh well, I'm gonna go brush my hair.

I feel the same. There's some sequels I really, really dislike, such as those for Hunchback, Fox and the Hound, and Pocahontas, but I'm a big fan of the originals and I'm hardly going to miss out on getting them on Blu-Ray because they come with a sequel I'm not forced to watch. And I'm happy for the people who do enjoy the sequels, because this means they don't have to pay extra to own them. I enjoy a lot of sequels to titles in the Diamond line (Lion King and Aladdin trilogies, Cinderella 3, etc.) and having to buy all of them separately is quite expensive and annoying. If the Brother Bear and Mulan sets save other people money, I say good for them. And since I'm buying a lot of sequels anyways, getting most of the ones I like less for free doesn't bother me at all.
The only thing I'd say is that Disney should definitely start doing what they did with Hunchback, and keep all characters from sequels off the covers. But otherwise, it costs the same with or without the sequel, so I don't see a need for all the complaints and boycotting.
