Hi I'm new here. Could anyone tell me the platinums DVD. Is Sleeping Beauty incuded. What about the Fantasia Anthology. Is Alice in Wonderland gonna be a platinum? Thanks!

That's a rather <a href="http://www.ultimatedisney.com/FAQ.htm">frequently-asked question</a>.

Alice is definitely not part of the collection, but Disney apparently WILL be adding Fantasia, Peter Pan, Pinocchio, and Sleeping Beauty after they're all done with the original 10 platinums in 2007.

Welcome to the forum.

2001:Snow White
2002:Beauty And The Beast
2003:The Lion King
2004:Aladdin

Others:
The Jungle Book
101 Dalmatians

Bambi

Pinocchio

Every time I see that avatar I think, "What's-a-happening, hot stuff?"

Thanks! So If I only want the plantinums I should only get those three and will all of the animated classics supposedly come out in platinum?

Well, at this point, I'm not sure why you'd only want "the Platinums" because Disney isn't even playing up the "Platinum" name anymore, and they've shown they can put together Platinum-esque sets under the "Special Edition" label - like Sleeping Beauty and next January's Alice and other "Masterpiece Editions."

Fantasia Anthology is part of the "Collector's Edition" line, which pretty much died with Atlantis, although I'd classify the Pixar sets like Monsters Inc and Finding Nemo under this, too.

They're pretty much the same thing as Platinum with a different name and irregular release pattern. Those are:

<u>Pixar</u>
A Bug's Life: Collector's Edition
Toy Story & Toy Story 2: The Ultimate Toy Box
Monsters, Inc.
Finding Nemo

<u>Disney</u>
Tarzan CE
Atlantis CE
Dinosaur CE
Fantasia & Fantasia 2000: The Fantasia Anthology
The Emperor's New Groove CE

I think that's all.

No one really knows what's definitely happening with the Platinum line, even Disney, but it would appear that the line will include just the 14 classics that are in it now on both the DVD and HD-DVD format that's down the road.

If you limit yourself to them, you may wind up missing on some great multi-disc sets in favor of lightweight fluff like what was on The Lion King DVD, though.

Thanks, by the way I have all the animated classics on movie but only 2 on DVD. So get them if there 2 disks!

I say get them all. But Snow white will be extremely tough to find in stores. You might have to turn to ebay for that. Beauty & the Beast, you can still find them in some stores. Not like before. I say get them while you can. Once they are gone, it's going to be a while before they return.

i would get any Disney animated movie that is a 2-disc DVD unless it is a movie in which i didnt like.
