Thanks, Luke! I just KNEW I missed something. Added those titles to the Live-Action list.

I'm only going to do my top 5:

Altantis: The Lost Empire
Tron: 20th Anniversary Edition
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
Sleeping Beauty
Aladdin

1- Aladdin
2- Beauty and the beast
3- Finding nemo
4- Monsters Inc
5- The Lion King
6- The lion king 1 1/2


At least, for a while, that is my list

Of the ones I've seen-

1. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs: PE
2. Aladdin: PE
3. Beauty and the Beast: PE
4. Alice in Wonderland: ME
5. Mulan: SE
6. Sleeping Beauty: SE
7. The Lion King: PE

I've only started to collect/watch Disney DVDs, so bare that in mind.

Considering that I still have to get "Mulan", "Dinosaur" and "The Love Bug" and that the remaining others have no interest to me (at least not until I get rich and am able to buy every region 1 release, hehe) , this is my list of favorite two-disc sets so far.

I'm not judging the films themselves, only the DVDs (and that includes picture, sound and extras quality). By the way, I've included the French "Peter Pan" in my list.

1 - Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs: Platinum Edition
2 - Atlantis, The Lost Empire: Collector's Edition
3 - Aladdin: Platinum Edition
4 - 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea: Special Edition
5 - Tarzan: Collector's Edition
6 - Swiss Family Robinson: Vault Disney
7 - Sleeping Beauty: Special Edition
8 - A Bug's Life: Collector's Edition
9 - Beauty and the Beast: Platinum Edition
10 - Monsters, Inc.: Collector's Edition
11 - The Lion King: Platinum Edition
12 - The Emperor's New Groove: The Ultimate Groove
13 - Pirates of the Caribbean: Collector's Edition
14 - Alice In Wonderland: The Masterpiece Edition
15 - Finding Nemo: Collector's Edition
16 - The Parent Trap: Vault Disney
17 - Pollyanna: Vault Disney
18 - Brother Bear: Special Edition
19 - Who Framed Roger Rabbit: VISTA Series
20 - Peter Pan: Collector's Edition
21 - Old Yeller: Vault Disney
22 - The Lion King 2, Simba's Pride: Special Edition
23 - The Lion King 1 1/2: Special Edition

In my opinion, all of these are great sets and it was difficult to rank them according only to the quality of the DVDs, since some of my favorite films got some of the lowest grades (like Brother Bear, Peter Pan and Old Yeller).

Some of the sets lost a few points due to a few problems with the picture (Beauty and the Beast, Pirates of the Caribbean, Brother Bear and Old Yeller), while others, even if they are great releases indeed, didn't have all the care in their production like some of the top titles (Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan). All in all, I'm very satisfied with all the releases above and hope Disney will continue its trend of quality with the next DVDs.

-Fantasia Anthology (can this one count??, it is basically 2 discs per movie, kinda)
-Snow White
-Aladdin
-Tarzan CE
-Bugs Life CE
-Sleeping beauty (alot of great superfluous material)


S you can see the CEs are the best of ALL!! No fluff, all great stuff!!! I wish they would be back

1) Beauty and the Beast Platinum Edition
2) Aladdin Platinum Edition
3) Mulan Special Edition
4) Finding Nemo Collector's Edition
5) Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl Collector's Edition
6) The Lion King Platinum Edition
7) Monsters, Inc. Collector's Edition
8) Alice in Wonderland Masterpiece Edition
9) A Bug's Life Collector's Edition
10) Sleeping Beauty Special Edition
11) Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Platinum Edition
12) Brother Bear Special Edition

Okay, here's my 11-20 listing. Some of these I don't own, but through reviews, its easy to tell they are high in quality.

11. Beauty and the Beast Platinum Edition
12. The Emperor's New Groove Collector's Edition
13. Dinosaur Collector's Edition
14. Tron Anniversary Edition
15. Old Yeller Vault Disney Collection
16. The Parent Trap Vault Disney Collection
