is it true that disney has a set time that they will rerelease a dvd? if so, when is it? will dvds that are already special editions, like sleeping beauty, be rereleased?
Do you think it would be better to purchase the overpriced, possibly bootlegged out of print dvds now or wait for them to be rereleased?

No, I would wait. If you are desperate to see the movie, rent it.

Well, with patience you can build a nice collection. There are certain titles that will be re-released, but I think there are others that will not.

will dvds that have already been released as special or platinum editions ( snow white, beauty and the beast) still be released again in the years to come?

I don't know why Disney is going to re-release movies originally created for 1.37:1 or 1.33:1 on Blu-ray (such as Peter Pan and Snow White), when Blu-ray and HDTV are designed for widescreen in general. It makes sense for the Disney movies created in 1.66:1, 1.85:1, 2.35:1, and 2.55:1 widescreen, though.

That doesn't make much sense. When 16x9 TVs become the norm, are we supposed to just stop watching Academy Ratio film? Blu-ray's greatest appeal right now is a vast increase in resolution. That increase entails an upgrade for everything that can benefit from that, regardless of it was animated for 1.37:1 or 2.55:1.

The re-releases on Blu-ray for the platinum line are going to be labeled as Platinum or they will be just standard dvd's?

They'll probably go with another name. It's really interesting to see what Disney is going to do. Even though they'll be starting the PE's over again they'll still be releasing new additions to it.

Do movies that aren't released as special or plantinum editions go out of print too? Or is it just the special ones?
