I can see why some would want "Alice in Wonderland" to be a Diamond or Platinum or whatever, but the recent Blu-ray release of it was easily the equal of "Bambi" and better than the Platinum DVD of "Peter Pan." In the end, I don't care what the hell they want to call anything as long as it's done right.

Fantasia. Why it was removed with no notice is beyond me.

<b>Yes! Fantasia was removed! I was looking at the Snow White dvd guide today & it totally says Fantasia was going to be a Diamond release!

I get what SpringHeelJack is saying because I really don't care what they call the dvd...or blu ray haha (I'd still buy it). They can call it Alice in Wonderland: The Little Chick in the Rabbit Hole edition (On Blu ray combo pack, also available on Disney Dvd) for all I care! haha
It matters that the actual movie is on it!! haha

I starting collecting disney dvds in fall of 2010 & the first dvds I got were the Platinum ones so I guess I got used to all the good extras they give. Then with Alice or Fantasia they didn't give you as much information. I should stop crying for extras. At least we can watch Fantasia or Alice whenever we want to right?</b>

I think Tarzan can easily rank Diamond because of its innovating animation technique .

Also Lilo & Stitch... just cute as hell

This one:

To be honest, I think every Disney classic deserves a great release, whether it has a Diamond label or not.

I just don't believe that, had Walt lived, he would've labeled the package features as 'Classics'. I'm sorry to go all Duster on you, but that's really just a hunch I have. *Maybe* the films from Make Mine Music on, but Saludos Amigos???!!! Only 44 minutes, of which a large part is boring life-action footage of Disney's entourage? I don't think so!

Agreed. In regards to the package films, I'd like to see them all get a good re-release, though the only one I really enjoy is Ichabod & Mr. Toad. I like the Bongo segment in Fun and Fancy Free and parts of Three Caballeros but I can't say I personally regard them as "classics" even if that is the official title given to them.

Well, the "Classics" label itself is something I don't have a lot of attachment to, frankly. For me, it's just a term to signify the movies made by the Walt Disney Animation Studios (or Feature Animation). You could call it the Walt Disney Animated Features and it would still be the same for me.
But my point was, there are only 50 titles, and I think all of them are popular enough to warrant a great DVD/Blu-ray release with bonus features that are actually interesting to adults. Even the package features, which I have never seen, deserve something better than the "edited for content" releases they have now.
