The Lion King trilogy will be released together in one package on Oct 4, the same date the lone Lion King is released on bluray.

Thanks for the link. It won't be released in every region though.

I wish 1 1/2 and 2 were released separate. Not a fan of the drum packaging, and would rather have normal Blu-ray cases for each film. Hopefully the discs are not stacked on top of each other.

I agree! I'd gladly add the sequel to my collection, but only if I can get it in a regular Blu-ray case (even if it is paired with 1 1/2, that's fine). I'm not a fan of the special packaging; I even opted to get Toy Story 1, 2, and 3 separately because I didn't like the "toy box."

The outside box is really cool, the drum I'm not crazy about though. I guess I should wait and see how it is before I start hatin though.

I'm trying to put together a schedule for the Animated Classics. Below is what I gather from searching the forum. Please correct me and add to what is missing if you can. From what I see, we will have 7 titles released for their first time on BD in 2011. Alice, Bambi, & Tangled earlier this year. Anybody think Disney will release that many or even more in 2012?

2011
8/9 - The Fox & The Hound
9/20 - Dumbo
10/4 - The Lion King
?/? - Winnie The Pooh

2012
Spring - Lady & The Tramp
?/? - Pocahontas
What is supposed to be the other Diamond edition besides Lady?

2013
?/? - Cinderella
?/? - The Little Mermaid

Next year major diamond title isn't confirmed. If it follows platinum line then it should be Cinderella, but I hear it is getting 3D treatment so could be pushed back. Hopefully it is Aladdin !

Is that for real? Gah! Though it will be cool to see the glitter/magic by the Fairy Godmother in 3D haha.

It's one thing to 3D-fy films with the original filmmakers' consent and involvement (like with The Lion King, Beauty & the Beast, The Nightmare Before Christmas) but another when that is not available for whatever reason.

Where are you hearing that "Cinderella" is getting the 3D treatment?

This is Disney ! They don't care about consent whether the persons are dead or alive.

I bought the "Toy Story" 1, 2 & 3 box set thinking it had each disc in it's own BR case. When I opened it to find the discs upright in a foam block, I gave it away to a friend & bought them separately.

Also, what is releasing Blu-Ray/DVD combo sets in both BR cases & DVD cases all about? I think if a Blu-Ray disc is involved, it should be in a BR case. And for the record, I am not a fan of the joining of BR & DVD into one disc either.

I agree the Toy Story box was pretty bad last year. I'm really glad I got the separate releases. I don't mind DVDs being included with Blu-rays, because I've found them to be very useful on more than one occasion. I wouldn't want a Blu-ray/DVD combo disc like the HD DVD/DVD combos. Also they can keep the Digital Copy discs. I never use them, and really all you need is a code. Its a waste of a disc in my opinion, even if you use them.

Also I agree with the DVD cases. They need to go if a Blu-ray is involved. I've noticed a lot of stores locally are mainly stocking the Blu-ray case version when they do this. Wal-Mart is about the only store I still see DVD case releases for the Blu-ray/DVD combo packs.
