There may still be hope, though. Look at the spine of Fantasia 2000. That's, as far as I can tell, an entirely new airbrushed image of Donald. Perhaps the Fantasia 2000 artwork has yet to be finalized, and the final cover will better match the original's, placing Donald in the center. Let's see.
This. Hopefully they still have some finalizing to do.

Translation would be cool! :lol:
They're basically just saying that the both films will be released on November 4th as Special Editions and are available for preorder on amazon.de now.
I'm a member of this site and relayed the information actually already, so it's nothing new.^^

Yes! Finally some news regarding the U.S. release date!
http://www.releaselists.com says it has been confirmed for November 30th, and http://www.thedigitalbits.com says it's coming in November and should be announced very soon.

Fantasia says "WALT DISNEY"!!! Hoooray for at least attempting to show consistency.

VideoETA confirms the same date, November 30. Interesting, it lists the blu-ray as a 4 disc set.

Probably a 2 disc blu, 1 disc dvd, and a digital copy.

I'm so happy that we finally have a release date confirmed. I was starting to get worried that we'd have another Dumbo-type situation on our hands here in the US.

The 'HMV' web page has the film listed as 'Fantasia Platinum Edition: Bonus DVD'

http://hmv.com/hmvweb/displayProductDet ... _id=101804

Interesting... Maybe they're listing a bonus disc separately?

The news about "The Fantasia Anthology" is absolutely awesome! :D :D I noticed too it said '4 discs' for Fantasia and '2 discs' for F2K. I'm quite surprised at this, because the German tech info said their release was only 2 disc, which would be a Blu-ray and DVD copy of the film. And that would explain why its only a Special Edition.

But this 'Anthology' must have exclusive discs? I agree with the former comment - it must be a Blu-ray for the film, the extras disc, a dvd copy and then a Digital Copy. F2K would just be Blu-Ray and DVD.

Now we just need to know if this is coming outside the U.S. On Play.com and Amazon, we only have info regarding separate releases.

Edit: I think we've actually misread it. The information on the left side highlights two different versions; the Special Edition Blu-Ray (4 disc) and S.E DVD (2 disc). Therefore, it must be suggesting that the S.E Blu-Ray is the combo pack, so the discs would be 2 x Blu-Ray's and 2 x DVD copies of the films.

Art from Amazon UK, doesn't look like there is going to be a separate release of 2000 in the UK

I don't know what the H3LL is taking Amazon.com (USA) so long to put up the covers, and the date!!

at least it's still a Diamond.

I'm soooooooo happy! :D :D :D

Not only was it just £12.39 at the point of ordering (which can't go any higher, thanks to Amazons price guarantee), but its a Diamond Edition!

Thanks Disney and Amazon! That was cheaper than Dumbo too :lol: But lets just hope that doesn't mean there's less content.... With it being a Diamond Edition, that surely guarantees a separate extras disc. Man I'm so happy! Shame Germany's is only a Special Edition though, wonder if that has any impact on the product?

Shame there's no combo pack available yet, but I've ordered this single edition just to be sure. Screw Play.com - they're more expensive too!

By the way, it seems like were getting this earlier than the U.S. Our date is still 8th November, so maybe thats why Amazon.com hasn't been updated yet, if you guys are on for 30th? Either way, I'll be sure to give feedback

£17.99 for the Combo is excellent, especially if there is no 2000 separate release.

Well I've ordered them both anyway. I'd still like to know what the Combo Pack is going to look like

Dvdizzy.com home page wrote:Disney has officially announced the Blu-ray debuts of <b><i>Fantasia</b></i> and <b><i>Fantasia 2000</b></i> for November 30th. Originally primed for the Diamond Edition line, the musical animated features will instead be released as a <b>2 Movie Collection</b> in a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/ ... ><b>4-Disc Special Edition Blu-ray + DVD Combo</b></a> ($45.99 SRP) and a concurrent <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/ ... ><b>2-Disc Special Edition DVD</b></a> ($39.99 SRP). Rather than delivering the advertised <i>Fantasia World</i> that was believed to have compiled a number of recent unavailable Disney shorts, the movies will be joined only by the Oscar-nominated Walt Disney/Salvador Dali collaboration <i>Destino</i> completed in 2003 and only on Blu-ray. Other Blu-ray exclusives include the documentary "Dali & Disney: A Date with <i>Destino</i>", BD-Live feature "Disney's Virtual Vault", an interactive art gallery, DisneyView sidebar art, and detailed notes from the newly-discovered Schultheis Notebook. Available on both the Blu-ray and DVD discs are audio commentaries and the featurettes "Disney Family Museum" and "Musicana: Walt's Inspiration for a <i>Fantasia Sequel</i>". <a href="http://www.dvdizzy.com/coverart.html#nov30"><b>Click here for cover art</b></a>.

I'm happy we finally have cover art and a release date but at the same time I'm sad because the US isn't receiving separate releases for F & F2K.

So the US-Set will contain two Blu-rays and two DVDs, too?

@UK-buyers: Don't wanna to bust your bubble, but these Cover don't look official. I really doubt there will be a diamond edition release anywhere on the world (and believe me I would wish, so I could import it, but I don't see this coming).
