"Return of Jafar" & "Aladdin & the King of Thieves" Blu-ray

[ultimatefilmfan]

I just spoke with a Disney Movie Club cast member who told me that "Return of Jafar" and "Aladdin and King of Thieves" will be released as a combo pack soon. She assumed in October, but wasn't completely sure. If that's the case I assume the release would be a DMC exclusive, at least initially.

She also mentioned "Escape to Witch Mountain" Blu-Ray would be released soon as well.

Has anyone else heard anything on these titles?

It's up for pre-order in Australia for nov 11

It popped up about a month ago, after the Australian Aladdin trilogy blu-ray was cancelled over 2.5 years ago.

Any word on the US release?

I called the DMC twice this morning and spoke to two different cast members to see how reliable their information was.

According to the companies widely distributed new release list given to every cast member, the Aladdin sequels double feature pack will be available to order starting October 13th. It will be a DMC exclusive, similar to how "Hercules" and "Tarzan" were available only through DMC initially. They were exclusive for two months, so it's reasonable to assume they could receive a national release by Christmas.

Both "Escape to Witch Mountain" and "Return to Witch Moutain" Blu-rays will also be available to order on that same date.

Good to know. Are there any plans for an Aladdin trilogy box set with Disney Movie Club?

Thanks for this!!!
So happy these are coming out, would have loved digital copies of both but guess we can count that out since they are being released as a 2-Movie Collection. Can't wait to see the cover art

[blackcauldron85]

Will it be a Blu-ray 1- or 2-pack, with just Blu-rays, or will it be a combo pack, with one Blu-ray and one DVD (like the Disney Animation Studios Shorts Collection)? I'm so excited that the sequels are getting re-released (I sold mine years ago and miss them!)!

Early look on what might end up being used for the final cover art of The Return Of Jafar/Aladdin And The King Of Thieves: 2-Movie Collection:



DMC Exclusive from October 13th, wide release rumored for January 2016.

[blackcauldron85]

For once, Aladdin looks halfway decent, but poor Jasmine...

They will have a Digital Copy with this release! Just so everyone knows. I am waiting for Disney to release it next year to stores. Why give Disney more money lol.

Personally I wish Disney would release Aladdin: The Series with this release. Return of Jafar was original the pilot episode for the show anyway and King of Thieves was the end of production film. I'd love to own the part of the story that takes places between these two films!

[REINIER]

Can't help but be excited for this release now If only they would alter this ghastly cover and restore Jafar to some dignity

[Kyle]

Forget the cover, the fact that they're cropped is a much bigger problem.

Seriously. They look awful blown up and cropped like that, particularly King of Thieves IMO.

Skipping yet another Disney Home Media release *sigh*

Why is this not available for pre-order yet from the DMC?

You could just contact Disney and ask them to correct the problem.

It's probably going to be their featured title next week on the 13th

There is a possibility the blu-ray release will be proper, seeing as the blu-ray and digital copies of the first film are different....but I'm not holding my breath. They are considering this a low-end release so there is no way they will be doing replacements if the blu-rays are the same as the digital versions.

[Kyle]

How are the two versions of the first one different?
