Litho's

[Swiss]

Dissapointed that Disney didn't offer a litho w/Santa Claus 2 DVD. Anyway I was curious if anyone knew if litho's for the 2004 SE DVD's would happen. I called Disney Guest Relations and was told no, as it was a re-issue. However that didn't stop them from doing litho's with Snow White, Lion King, Sleeping Beauty and other re-releases.

Well in defense of what they said these ARE all re-issues on DVD. The other examples you listed that included lithos were premiering in the DVD format.

I feel like a dope. You're right. I completely forgot that these were first time on DVD titles.

Hey, with all of the stuff that has not been released AND all the stuff that has been released, re-released and revised it's hard to keep it all straight.

Lithographs should be only put with animated films.

I am really hoping for lithos with Aladdin and Little Mermaid!!!!!

I hope they'll be good lithographs on top of that. I didn't pre-order any DVDs with Disney this season because the lithos offered with Sleeping Beauty, The Lion King, and Finding Nemo just did not impress me. They looked like everything I had already seen.

[pinkrenata]

Yes, and preferably nice quality as well. The (single) litho that came with the Beauty and the Beast set was dreadful.

Oh, and I'd like to take this opportunity to tell Royal Natalie to check her e-mail and then log onto either AIM or Yahoo, as I see that she is online.

I'm wondering if Disney will sell lithographs with the re-releases of Pocahontas and Simba's Pride. Hmm. I hope so!

Thanks, you're so right! Between standard editions, collectors, special, limited, deluxe, masterpiece, gold, platinum, 60th Anniversary editions, etc. It is hard to keep up.

I sure hope so. I am periodically checking DisneyStore.com for any pre-sales on Alice. They didn't do any litho's with the initial Gold Collection Edition, hopefully the new Masterpiece Edition will.

I hope they do release them for the comming dvds. My office is waiting for them.

Not to burst anyone's bubble but i just got back from a Disney Store cast member meeting and the company is going to start having fewer and fewer pre-orders. The films that will be pre-ordered will be the "big" films such as next year's Aladdin release and most likely Brother Bear. My manager told me that any upcoming release other than those two will probably not be pre-ordered at all. This is mostly due to the companies huge losses with the BATB pre-orders (ie. cost to make lithos used up all profit they made).

This is not to say that releases such as Alice's 2-disc set WON'T be available for preorder, it's just not likely anymore. I hope that the heads of the disney store decide to leave it the way it is. Lord knows, i love my lithos and want lithos of every disney film ! Only time will tell! I'll keep you guys posted!

[quasi72]

I understand what you are saying and what is more: I accept it.
The Disney Store, and Disney in general, is a company that seeks profits, duh. So if they lost money with B+B, of course, it's normal that they cancel pre-orders and the release of lithos w/ them.

I also think that Disney is separating itself from the public in terms of marketing strategies, lately. If you look at the anual reports, BVHE sales have dropped immensely in the last few years.
Plus, the average joe and jane are a little lost w/ "limited releases" and "special editions" and "golden collections" and re-re-releases every few months.
I am not really lost. I only feel that Disney is trying to play w/ my pocket, re-releasing some dvds w/ some new extras.

I hope Disney continues with the pre-sale lithos. it's the only reason I order from DisneyStore.com and pay $19.99+shipping. With no lithos, I will simply get my Disney DVD's for $14.99 on the tuesday of release at BestBuy or CircuitCity.
