This is the fourth time the same trailer has been posted. It must be some sort of record.

OMG YOU GUYS HERE'S THE GERMAN TRAILER FOR THE BLU RAY!!

So Aladdin isn't going to be Diamond ? Make up your mind Disney !

At this point, I'm not sure even Disney cares to be honest.

Agree ^

Man I hate Today's Disney.

If it's confession time: I didn't buy the Platinum edition. And worst of all, I got a DVD player a month after it's release, but I was into other things at the time so Disney took a back seat.

In my defence though, I did buy the Musical Masterpiece Edition on release day in 2009, and I bought a Hebrew copy of The PE in Israel 6 months ago, mostly for the back to front cover, but it still counts.

Now for the Blu Ray....

Exactly. Probably just a bunch of marketing people in an office somewhere deciding 'yay' or 'nay' to this so called 'prestigious' line.

There was a Musical Masterpiece Edition ? When did this happen ? What is it like ?

Huh ?

Are you from the UK ?

Over here, Aladdin, Mulan, and Pocahontas were released in a DVD called Musical Masterpeice. Those were the only films they included in the line. It was basically a vanilla disc release with the added bonus of having a singalong option.

No sorry.

Oh awesome, that sounds pretty neat.

It did come with a lyric book too and - gasp - a slip cover...quite a rarity in Australia now. But it was better then nothing.

Oh, and the mp3 download voucher...I got two in my copy but the only option was 'A Whole new World'.

I couldn't find the topic and I have a few questions.

Is it a new restoration?

Will there be no dvd?

I have no idea if it will be a Diamond release, but Aladdin is slated for "Fall 2015" for North America. Figured I'd post it here, too, for anyone looking in the future.

That must be a joke! Two and a half years from now when it's already available in the rest of the world?

That's disappointing that the US is going to have to wait to see Aladdin released on Blu ray until 2015

Perhaps they plan on doing a 3D release and that's why the wait is so long.

If they do a 3D blu ray release of Aladdin perhaps then we will see it in theaters. Think about it, IF Little Mermaid does come to theaters next year, perhaps if it does well Disney will release Aladdin in theaters. Although we might not get it in theaters but I think the reason it's taking that long is a possible 3D Blu Ray release. Is it a good theory?

Then, my guess for the Diamond Edition line would be:

FALL 2013 The Little Mermaid
SPRING 2014 The Jungle Book
FALL 2014 Sleeping Beauty
SPRING 2015 101 Dalmatians
FALL 2015 Aladdin

Really excited for this, even if it means a long wait. But where will this leave Pinocchio?

Albert

The line-up that bruno_wbt suggested seems logical, with Pinocchio taking the last slot for Spring 2016.

Thanks for the news Patrick, May I ask where exactly was Aladdin's new date mentioned?

But...

what other animated classics will they release in 2015 (and 2016)?

They only have around 10-12 titles that are not yet released on blu-ray. I can't imagine they'll release 6 of those in 2014 and the remaining 6 in 2015.
I also can't imagine they'll start re-releasing all movies on blu-ray so soon (except for maybe Sleeping Beauty and Pinocchio).

If we go by this schedule, there are actually only 9 unannounced titles left, with 6 of them being the package films:

Saludos Amigos
The Three Caballeros
Make Mine Music
Fun And Fancy Free
Melody Time
The Adventures Of Ichabod And Mr. Toad
The Black Cauldron
Hercules
Tarzan

Also, the 6 package films could be bundled in 2-Movie Cellection pairs which will make them 3 releases.

I don't think Blu-ray re-releases will happen as well, at least not for the lesser, non-diamond titles. 2014 and 2015 are going to be very crucial with how the general public adapt more to digital consuming, which I believe is exactly what Disney is trying to test at the moment, especially with the new "digitalcopyplus" service and the fact that more and more releases are given digital copies. I do believe Snow White will be back in October 2016 starting a new "platinum/diamond" line, just not sure if it will be a physical release or all digital.
