Pretty much everything that is going to be said about the discs has been said. However, I would like to agree with the fact that many of the 90s films COULD go double-disc, simply because there is more material available for them.Joe Carioca wrote:As with "Lilo & Stitch", Disney produced enough material for "Treasure Planet" to fill two discs. But when the film flopped, it was decided to go with the one-disc only release.Disneykid wrote: My reasoning is exactly like Jake's; virtually every animated feature from the 90's will either go platinum or masterpiece, so it would seem odd for Disney to leave this sole one out. Also (and this isn't very reliable), for some reason I can just easily see Hercules go 2-Disc. As a matter of fact, I can see that going 2-Disc before Treasure Planet. It's just one of those things, I guess. Besides, it's a recent enough film that Disney can easily put together EPK material along with some new stuff.
On the Treasure Planet note, since when have there been rumors of a 2-Discer? I haven't heard a thing, though I do think it's likely either way.
Further, the "2-disc" is becoming a standard marketing tool (whether there is material to fill it or not), and so many re-releases will opt for a 2-disc set anyways. LK 1.5 was only a 2-disc because that is pretty much the industry standard, IMO. If Disney does decide to release any of these, chances are we could get 2-discers on them. I mean, who really saw an Alice Masterpiece coming a year or so ago? We already had a half-decent SE (more "special" than most classics that were not plantinum releases anyways). It wasn't really necessary, but there you have it.
I think it is all fair game until we hear about the release of a given title. All it takes is an arbitrary number (45th anniversary, 35 or something) for a 2-discer to come out. That's why I still think it is possible to see a 20disc set on any given DVD, particularly Hercules, Hunchback or even Treasure Planet.
