I just posted a big update on the front page with all the titles through May. Follow Me Boys and Those Calloways are both coming in February, supposedly. I also upated Upcoming Releases with the new info.

Hmmm...you say Return to Oz is being re-released as a Disney DVD in February. I wonder if they'll add more features to it (doubt it, but it's good to hope).

And will it be released under the Disney banner or the Anchor Bay one again?

Didn't someone say Darby O'Gill was slated for release around that time too?

Still, looks like a promising start to what could be an even better year for Disney DVD than this one.

Check the front page if it's not clear. All these releases will be Disney. Great Locomotive, Midnight Madness, and Return to Oz will be repackaged. I assume it will be the exact same disc with new packaging and artwork, at best.

MMB said Darby is coming sometime next year.

According to the Upcoming page, it's being released as a Disney DVD, not Anchor Bay. Hmm...

And yes, next year looks like a better Disney DVD year than this one with Alice in Wonderland, Pocahontas, Lilo and Stitch, Freaky Friday, Mary Poppins, Aladdin, Brother Bear, Darby O' Gill, Three Lives of Thomasina and others.

I'm not sure about the others, but this threadindicates it will be released in France, and this one says the UK will be getting....a 6 DVD set!

So hopefully that bears good news for the US in terms of Treasures or other Zorro sets. I believe there is a sequel to the recent Banderes Zorro picture in the works, so perhaps Disney US is waiting for a tie-in with that (or more likely, a cash-in).

also, does anyone know if disney is planning on releasing these catalog titles as special editions (1 disc or 2 disc) or if they are going to be barebones pan and scan discs...





thanks loomis

Well, I don't think any of them will be Special Editions, but it's possible a few here and there could have some special features. I'm hoping they're not all barebones and pan & scan as the catalogue releases of the past have mostly been, but there's just no way of knowing this now, without getting inside info from Trojan Mouse or some other insider. Hopefully, we'll know more than a few weeks in advance at least.

It's pretty futile for Disney to still do fullscreen on the catalogue titles, since the 'family' audience they try to reach that doesn't like widescreen usually aren't buying movies that have been available on VHS for years and years. Not always, but I'm sure that more folks prefer widescreen on the catalogue releases.

Well Inga Tu Schmista said Child of Glass may be coming possibly next year. He said it's up in the air though. But just the idea of it coming gets me excited. I really hope it happens.

Isn't DuckTales supposed to come out in 2004 as well?

DuckTales the Movie most likely in 2004. And Inga is not a "he", FYI.

Sorry Inga my bad didn't know.

I'm extremely pleased about Ruby Bridges. It's my favorite TV movie of all time and I'll be glad to double dip for the DVD. (The VHS was the last VHS I ever bought, last year, only because it was really cheap and didn't seem like an obvious choice to get a DVD.) This one, at least, as well as the early '90s WWoD and Disney Channel movies are all 1.33:1 OAR, I think, so we will be getting those presented properly, too.

we have to call disney and tell them we want this in widescreen! also I can't believe they're releasing Follow me, Boys! as a catalog tittle!!!! omg!

Today I ordered Watcher in the Woods and Something Wicked this way comes on DVD but it looks like Disney might re-release them under the Disney DVD banner by the look of other Anchor bay releases. I don't care to own 2 Watchers It's my favorite disney 80's live action after Tron

mickey mouse boy, i'll bet you're as happy as i am with my two disc dvd set of TRON .......end of line.....
