I know a certain someone would have a field day with that! Five whole different releases on cover art alone!

I mean to not to draw another finger on Sleepy's right hand???

The Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs PE was so jam packed with extras I can't think of much they could possibly add to it . As much as I love SWatSD, I really hope they finish releasing the 14 titles slated for the platinum edition line BEFORE they go back and re-release others.

I don't like the idea of Disney rereleasing Snow White so soon. I'm afraid they will give up the Platinum line if Snow White is released. Thus, they will throw the would have been Platinums into the new line to be released after Snow White, and we will end up with a mixed collection of DVDs and HD-DVDs.

Actually, it's not so soon. I think it just feels that way. As a kid, 7 years felt like such a long time to wait for a re-release. But in 2008, it will have been 7 years since the last release of "Snow White," which is the normal time frame for a re-release. However, when the Platinum line was created, they said it wouldn't be released again for 10 years, which would be 2011. I'm upset that they are re-releasing it before completing the line. However, if they did that, it really wouldn't be re-released until 2011 and that seems like a long time to make people who missed the boat on the first release wait. Although, it's a long time to make everyone who is waiting for "101 Dalmatians" wait.

Except, of course, for the stuff that was on the Laserdisc release and left off of this one...

The fact that you've even say HD in a Disney Forum offends me.

You know full well Disney are locked to BLU-RAY!

If my Marketing Manager found out he'd scream.

DISNEY ARE ON BLU-RAY ONLY!

HD will fizzle and die like those trendy Super-Bit DVDs.
Remember them?

Yeh...they're cool....PFFTT

I have the first one and really I can't think of anything that would make me buy the re-issue. I'm fine with the one I have until the discs break.

Enlighten us, what was on the laserdisc?

I definately think that they should wait until they finish the Platinum line before they start with the re-re-re-releases o.O

What more could they do to the DVD? This was the ONLY best Platinum Edition DVD! Why not put money into DVDs that weren't so good?

Or even re-release Hercules or Hunchback on a 2-Disc????????????????

I think that Disney's next line, after (or even during) the Platinum Edition line should have bonus features from the laserdiscs. I've never even seen a real laserdisc before, but I keep on hearing about how great the bonus features are. Since the majority of Disney fans don't have laserdiscs, why not include more features from them?

There were quite a few more publicity and merchandising stills, as well as a couple more of the audio-only features. I'm not sure if there were other items missing from the laserdisc set, or not.

That's on the PE DVD.

That's on the PE DVD.

And it's fully animated as well!

First of all it's called HD-DVD, Blu-Ray is HD too. Secondly, Disney is apparently sticking with Blu-Ray mostly because they have support for slightly better copy protection schemes, not because it's a better format for the consumer. Thirdly, they're both fairly equal really, they support the same codecs etc. and whichever format wins (if one of them wins) it'll be good. Blu-Ray will have larger capacity with the 50GB discs, but they will be of limited use as with the codecs available almost every movie (and certainly all Disney ones) will fit on an HD-DVD and look as good as it possibly could.

I was wondering when Snow White the first and fairest of them all will re-appear on Disney Blu-Ray DVD? The last I heard 2009 was mooted for a rerelease of this favourite movie of mine and many others!

This movie has rarely been equalled never mine bettered in my opinion. I'm one of those Disney fans who believes that the real classic era in Disney animation finished in about 1967!

I liked Little Mermaid, Beauty and The Beast and Aladdin, but was not a fan of much after those movies except Toy Story/Toy Story 2!

Well to be fair, there are probably 3 classic era's of Disney animation.

The late 30's / early 40's:-

Snow White
Pinocchio
Fantasia
Dumbo
Bambi

The 50's:-

Cinderella
Alice in Wonderland
Peter Pan
Lady and the Tramp
Sleeping Beauty

The late 80's / early 90's:-

The Little Mermaid
Beauty and the Beast
Aladdin
The Lion King

Although there are many classic films in and around those periods, but for me - having just been watching most of these films again in the order they were released - these are probably the stand out movies in the Disney archives.

Toy Story and Toy Story 2 aren't Disney... they're Pixar, distributed by Disney. At that time Disney didn't own Pixar, either, so I believe their amount of creative input wasn't that massive.
