Ok, so we've seen the Disney canon films be released in several diferent collections over the years: The Classics, The Masterpiece Collection, The Special Editions, The Platinum Collection, The Collector Editions, The Diamond Editions, and the 2 Movie Blu-Ray Collections. Wouldn't it be great if Disney released an Ultimate Edition Collection that comprised every SINGLE film in the canon (without doubling up with their sequels - canon or not)? As collector and completist, I imagine such a collection that for each film in the canon, had numbered sets that included 2 or three discs each with a complete collection of supplemental features for each film (new features as well as the previously released ones without leaving anything out), Making-of and other featurettes, original trailers, tv spots, special packaging, you name it. I know it's wishful thinking because Disney won't do anything of the sort unless they can be sure it would be very profitable, and they would never do it for what they consider their "lesser" films like the old package films or the ones that weren't very succesful at the box office. But don't you think it would be great to have such a complete collection like that?

Must. Not. Hallucinate.

The only problem would be that I'd have to buy every film for the second, third or even fourth time in some cases. If only Disney catered to collectors.

Hahaha!!! I agree! I too have multiple versions of some of the films. However, if they really committed to releasing such a collection all the way through from #1 to #50+ and into the future, I'd sell off all the other versions I have and replace them with the new sets that would be complete and have everything the others have and more!

I dream about it every day, my friend.

As do I. I seriously still want Disney and Criterion to team up and create a numbered series of the Animated Classics featuring new and archival features, especially as Disney themselves can't be bothered to actually scour the archives anymore or include any of their own vintage programming as bonus features. And now that Criterion will *finally* add an animated film to their collection next February (Fantastic Mr. Fox at Spine #700), the likelihood doesn't seem so "pipe dream" anymore. Of course, now we have to wait for Disney to actually licence animated titles to Criterion, which is still very "pipe dream."

I agree...

I'd be tempted if they did faithful transfers for all the films, without the revisionism, but only under that condition.
