I think it's getting a bit overwhelming right now...

I'm so excited about Hocus Pocus one of my favourite childhood films

Not really because It still will be 20 years by the Spring of 2013, it would only not apply November 2013 onwards which is when it'll turn 21. If Aladdin gets released say March 2013, then it will only be 4 months after it's original realease month, so it will still coincide with it's 20th Anniversary.

so The Tigger Movie will be similar to Winnie the Pooh in European and Asian markets? we will get a DVD only release? :/

Thanks, NeverLand! I've just updated the first post.

I have Pocahontas 2 in one BD. It is very cool. I hope Disney would release similar BD for less popular features like Atlantis, Brother Bear etc. So all movies are on 1 BD.

I can't wait for Hocus Pocus. Is Sister Acts under Disney too?

Yes. That's coming as a two movie set this year as well.

Wow, this is the best year ever for BD release. All those movies I've been waiting for to come out on BD.

It would be great to hear the release date of Peter Pan, Mulan, Hunchback etc.

I'm expecting Mulan and Hunchback either next year or 2014. Mulan's 15th Anniversary is 2013.

Peter Pan will be released February/March 2014, as part of the Diamond Line.

This spring - Special Winnie-the-Pooh Collection of 5 movies (DVDs) in Czech R., Slovakia, Croatia, Slovenia...

With new covers:


1. The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
2. Pooh's Heffalump Movie
3. Piglet's Big Movie
4. Springtime with Roo
5. The Tigger Movie

Tarzan, Pocahontas, Pocahontas 2 and Pinocchio get (re)released on August 2 in Germany (Blu-ray, no word about DVDs).

^How come Pinocchio is getting re-released on Blu-ray so soon? Is it not part of the Diamond line anymore?

In other news: the UK is getting separate Blu-ray releases for Pocahontas and The Fox and the Hound on May 21st. If anyone's interested in importing, both titles are region free.

Nope, it's not. Last time I asked Disney Germany they gave me this list of current Diamond titles:
• The Little Mermaid
• Bambi
• Cinderella
• The Jungle Book
• The Lion King
• Beauty and the Beast
• Sleeping Beauty
• Peter Pan
• Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
• Lady and the Tramp

They don't give information out about Aladdin yet but people are guessing they want to reduce the number to 10 so Sleeping Beauty wouldn't get a Diamond release as it was already sold on Blu-ray.
But remember: The list (from mid November 2011) is confirmed - speculation isn't.

I read about 6 months ago that the UK and Germany were leading the way in Blu Ray sales. Which begs the question, why are the UK getting seriously dumped upon by Disney?

Still, even if it's not a Diamond title anymore, isn't it too soon for Pinocchio to be getting a Blu-ray re-release?

Can we potentially create another thread for international releases (In the international dvd forum perhaps?) It's starting to get confusing in this thread to keep track of the changing dates for the different releases.

what's confusing? everything you need to know is on the first page, sorted by title. it's perfect that way

But not every title is getting a domestic release, hence the confusion. The titles not getting a domestic release should be discussed in the international dvd forum only.

Nah, they can't make money with it when it's in the vault
