I ordered 'Chicken Little' through the German Movie Rewards site and I'll do the same with 'Home on the Range' asap.

This way, I won't loose any money while I can still enjoy a complete collection of the official DAC canon. 8)

Awesome news! My DAC Blu-ray collection grows. This release lands on my B-Day too :D I thought this movie was OK, not the best but not the worst either. Home on the Range was one of the first DAC's that was available in HDX (1080p) on Vudu, so hopefully Atlantis, Mouse Detective, and Black Cauldron get surprise releases this year too. Most of the Disney catalogue is available in HDX on Vudu now BTW, I recently watched Heavy Weights and Lilo and Stitch and they both looked amazing, L&S more. I streamed a 2 minute preview of The Hunchback of Notredame in HDX and it is the only one of the animated classics that didn't looked up to par with the restoration that the rest have available. It appeared to me that they restored the film from a different source than the CAPS files (if that makes any sense).

I still have not seen this (The same goes for Tarzan, Brother Bear, The Aristocats), mostly because of the bad reviews. They really are getting lazy with the cover art, aren't they? It's not terrible, but the heads at the top look like they were done as a Photoshop effect.

Atlantis is one of those! It's been announced to have a Fall 2012 release date with Brother Bear.

Great, nothing new again. I wonder if the audio commentary and the 'Art Review' extras will be included. They weren't listed on the packaging of the original DVD release either.

What did you expect. They're rushing these releases before Blu-Ray gets phased-out for streaming.

HOTR has always been and always will be my guilty pleasure among Disney's 'bad films'. The negativity is a bit over the top every now and then.

And especially with two excellent traditionally animated features having been mad since, I'm glad it isn't being crapped on anymore with the whole 'I can't believe 2D went out with this piece of shit'...

Do you have a source/link? Not that I don't believe you, I'd just like to read more info about it!

I've never seen this but I ordered it through DMC, it was just an additional $10 when you buy Treasure Planet combo pack (for $29.95+10 = $39.95). I'm not expecting much but I can't imagine it's that awful. I hated Chicken Little and would be really surprised if it sunk that low!

Agreed. I think a lot of the negativity was also because of the announcement of this being the last animated feature to use traditional animation. There seemed to be a lot of resentment at the time about that and I believe that a good portion of that resentment was channeled into over the top negativity for this film. Proof of this is how this film is very seldom mentioned without that announcement being mentioned also. Chicken Little gets some of that as well for being the first film created with Disney standing by that announcement. Do I consider those two a couple of Disney's weaker efforts? Absolutely. Am I able to still enjoy them? Absolutely. I proudly have these on my shelf next to my other Disney films. They are all part of the Disney legacy, warts and all. :)

I don't think they're going to be phased out. There's room in this world for both. There are more than enough people who want nothing to do with streaming.

Blu-ray.com Review: http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Home-on-t ... 56/#Review

Oh dear. It looks like the AV presentation isn't quite perfect. This doesn't bode well for all the other CAPS films that have yet to be released on the format.

Wow, judging from the caps in that review, I'm kinda shocked how bad it looks... It's like an upscaled dvd at best! They should have given it 2/5 and not 3/5...

Sad, especially because I don't see Disney giving this a second chance on Blu...

It's not that bad. It'll probably look quite good on an HDTV - just not as crisp as other Disney Blu-rays.

Drama queens. Yeah, it's not fantastic and it most certainly should be better, but it hardly looks "terrible".

To each their own but the fact that you don't see it, hardly classifies the rest of us as drama queens :wink: If you think this is on par with other digital films, well... good for you!

As long as it looks better than it has previously (I think it does) that's all I ask for this film. In fact, it seems no one took notice until the review. UD's review spoke positively about how it looked. I put it in and it looks good to me.
