Target Exclusives:

Damn... Target is on fire lately with all these amazing covers. Some of the clip art may be old but I like the composition. I would remove Cruella from the 101 Dalmatians one, though.

(I got myself Target's 4K TLM and the "regular" TLK; safe to say I'll also be adding Aladdin and these two to my growing collection.)

I want the Sleeping Beauty one just for the book.

The Sleeping Beauty one is lovely ! Still a little paint pot bright , but I like the idea behind it for sure

the Sleeping Beauty one is gorgeous. Never seen that art of the prince on horseback before, anyone know if its new?

Yes, the book looks awesome. I'm not crazy about the cover. How hard is it to make the flames green?

I love both covers especially the Sleeping Beauty ones. However, Aurora looks really out of place imo.

Hope we get a list of new special features soon.

I probably would have preferred if they had taken "Platinum Edition" Aurora and put her on the left of the castle and if they had flipped the fairies and put them on the right.

I preordered both from target! Love the look of Sleeping Beauty!

LOL Walt Disney infamously didn't have the best attitude on this film, even more than usual. I wonder if he sounds phony in this radio interview or maybe severely edited (that is depending on if this is a pre-production interview or post production)

Good idea! I would also take the "sleeping" Aurora in the center. Not this standing up with eyes closed nonsense.

I'm really surprised Sleeping Beauty is getting a In Walt's Words visual commentary considering it's had a Cine-Explore feature (which I think has now been relegated to a mere commentary) alongside a previous commentary on the Special Edition DVD from way back. The film was in production for so long so I guess there's plenty of material.

I'm more impressed that 101 Dalmatians is getting In Walt's Words because it's pretty much the only classic Walt film (if not classic Disney film in general) that's lacked a commentary of any sorts. This was my one wish for this release and I really didn't expect Disney to deliver so I'm quite pleased. I wish Cruella's Lost Role (previously a digital exclusive that reflected on how Disney almost reused her for The Rescuers) could have been on the disc but at least we get another new Cruella feature focusing specifically on Marc Davis. It doesn't look like Dalmatians will get one of the Disney Channel fluff featurettes unlike poor Sleeping Beauty lol so that's another plus in its favor.

BTW, a description of the new Aladdin bonus features is up! I'm super pleased with the content especially the 30 minute long Scott Weinger bonus feature that includes the rumored content posted on previous pages. I can't believe we even get to see him sing Proud of Your Boy, not to mention interactions with the rest of the cast and crew.

I'm surprised that there's a "In Walt's words" for 101 Dalmatians since I thought he wasn't really involved in the film's production.

Wait a sec here.... Disney is releasing THREE Signature editions in September???

What is going on??? I guess they want to do as many high profile releases before Disney+ launches...

?????

Both Sleeping Beauty and 101 Dalmatians' Target editions look amazing. I'm gonna get Sleeping Beauty, because it looks so good.

Although I would have put a different picture of Aurora...like her sleeping.

This was such a lovely trailer.

looking at it again, she does look like a sleepwalking giant looming over the castle and the dragon!

The "In Walt's Words" could also be like the one on the Snow White Signature Edition: a short featurette containing archival interview recordings set to a montage of appropriate clips.
