The Jungle Book

Wow, Baloo looks big. I notice as well there seems to be an empty space to the left of the cover. I think we all know what that means for the UK and the US...

Oh, and it's nice to know Mary Poppins is finally on its way. Hopefully we'll get some good new features with it, and possibly Bedknobs and Broomsticks shortly thereafter.

It's still not great, but at this point, I'll take anything over the Platinum Edition cover. At least now I can actually stand to look at Mowgli and King Louie's faces. I agree that Baloo could be scaled down just a tad.

Still don't understand why that recycled art of Shere Khan is smiling. "Oh, he's such a happy tiger!"

And Bagheera looks small like Triton

So...it looks like these are the only unreleased/unannounced titles in the US:

Saludos Amigos
The Three Caballeros
Make Mine Music
Fun and Fancy Free
Melody Time
The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad
101 Dalmatians (will probably be a Diamond Edition in 2014)
The Sword in the Stone
The Jungle Book (will probably be a Diamond Edition in 2014)
Robin Hood
The Black Cauldron
Aladdin
Hercules
Tarzan


I'm not sure what's going on with "The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh", but I suspect a fall 2013 release.

WOW...looking at the above list, we've come a very long way since Blu-ray began.

Still confused as to what's happening with Aladdin, and where that will fit in the schedule.

Any word on Return to Neverland BD?

It's still slated for Fall 2013.

Knowing how Disney loves to save money these days, they might release all of the package films into one big collection.

I think just because of the amount of content it's more likely that well get three releases: Saludos Amigos/Three Caballeros, Make Mine Music/Melody Time, and Fun and Fancy Free/Ichabod and Mr Toad.

That does sound more like them, though one big collection would be nice.

I really hope that whenever these come out, the cover art isn't reminiscent of the ENG Blu cover art... I'm afraid it will be though.

Ohh man, you're totally right. Although they could recycle the art for the 2 movie collection DVD for Saludos/Caballeros from their last release.

Probably a 2 movie collection cover art similar to The Emperor's New Groove

I agree that Amigos/Caballeros is probably safe since it already has a 2 movie collection cover art to recycle. The other two sets though, is anyone's guess. Disney is anything but consistent, so by then it could just be a plain blue cover with the title in white, like the discs evolved into

Hmm not a fan of the Jungle Book cover it makes Share Khan and Kaa look like those " funny comic relief sidekicks " when they should be looking a bit more sinister appearing, Share especially.

It looks like they just reused him from the Paltinum/40th Anniversary Edition, they might of made him have a happier smile than a sinster one.

I hate it that Baloo's face never looks like that in the movie as well as the way his hair is always portrayed like this.. Shere Khan is your neighberhood kitty as opposed to a ferocious tiger. Bagheera is lucky just to be in the picture.. Really hating that diamond border as well.. Colourwise I do like the way the jungle is presented here
