Thoughts?

It's really not surprising, and sends the message that if you really want something from Disney on Blu-ray, hold out.

I was happy with the older DVD so I haven't shelled out yet on a double-dip. I'd eventually like to get all the DAC's on Blu though but since I don't have a player yet, it's not a priority.

I'm looking forward to this one - - I hope it has all the requisite extras we've seen on the DVDs and Laserdiscs of the past (...unlike the new Fantasia release).

What's the big shock? This trailer was also on James and the Giant Peach. The DVD inside is probably the same transfer from the un-aniversary one...if you wanted the DVD it's already out. I held out in hopes that it would come to Blu Ray

Umm, duh? I hate to be rude, but that's the only way I can respond to something like this.

Glad I held off on buying the DVD. I had a suspicion that Disney would probably be doing this. I just hope they add more features to it than the last DVD edition.

Ha, I have a player but don't have an HDTV, so I'm in a similar way. Still, I have been buying blu ever since I got a player just so I don't have to rebuy (I can still watch them at least, though it doesn't look HD for me). If I ever find a stinkin' job around here (and I've JUST run out totally of my savings; probably shouldn't have bought Tink 3 yet, and without a coupon because I have no printer), I'll get an HDTV as one of my first purchases, ha. But, anyway, I'm happy to say I was satisfied enough with the previous 2 disc Alice not to rush into buying this one too. Though I don't expect it, I wish they'd announce a blu-ray for Robin Hood, Black Cauldron, Bedknobs, and Aristocats before I go out and buy the latest versions... (though I'd have to check if Bedknobs and Robin Hood are much of an upgrade). I haven't bought Dumbo either. Is that one still coming to blu? And I can't for the life of me remember if I ever got the more recent Fox and the Hound... Anyway, really glad to hear this (it was news to me), and can't wait to get it. I wish they'd announce some non-Disney titles coming to blu-ray soon, like Anastasia and Ferngully, which I have yet to upgrade from VHS, even though I want to badly.

IF they are going to do this then why not have bunch of surviving Alice Comedies that haven't been released by before.

The trailer mentions "coming to Blu-ray, also available on DVD". I wonder if Disney is talking about the already released version or are they planning on bringing out a new 60th edition DVD.

You're sure being optmistic. I wouldnt hold out for much if you consider how the recent BluRay releases of Disney classics have been treated.

Slightly upsetting. I really got nothing out of purchasing The Un-Anniversary Edition because I already had the Masterpiece Edition [poor research on my part] and now they're releasing it on Blu-ray? Hopefully there will be great extras..

That's why I didn't buy the Un-Anniversary. It was common sense that it would be release soon

So many people complain when a BD comes out months before a DVD, this time its the other way around

I assumed it'd be inevitable that a AiW BD would be made available soon enough, and being that the un-anniversary edition really wasn't much of an upgrade I never purchased it. Now I just hope that, aside from picture quality, that this new release is a nice upgrade from the Masterpiece Edition.

Like Mulan in 2008 when the Beijing Olympics were on, did you know they were going to re-release The Jungle Book next week but due to unsanitary conditions in Delhi, they pulled out of the promo?


Nah, just kidding . Wait for the official release probably in 2014.

I agree, since I've started upgrading my DAC on VHS collection (I never had any of the DVD's), I've decided to stick with only the Blu-ray/DVD combo packs as they are released.

For example, I'd like to get The Black Cauldron, but I'm going to wait because I'm hoping we EVENTUALLY see it in a combo pack, even if it's not for a few years.

I'm looking forward to Alice next year!

honestly, ive been suspicious since the days when we all gossiped about this movie being a potential platinum release. and its clear the un-anniversary edition was just a rushed version to tie-in to a certain other film that i need not even name.

Especially because it has the exact same name .

I think Disney is starting to get very predictable in their greed, that's what I think. I actually would have thought they would have waited at least another year for this, to rack up on sales of the DVD. This film in particular has been release WAY too much over the years.

I love Alice in Wonderland (I happen to be watching it right now as I type) and I saw on a website where I can get a good deal on this 60th Anniversary edition. I don't have a Blu-ray player but I'll most likely get one eventually.. So I wondering if anyone has screen captures of this edition or a link to a website that has them? I saw the pictures on UD's review and I have to say the colors on Alice look really "Ronald McDonald"! I wanted to compare to see if it's a true upgrade and if its worth buying. Thanks in advance
