I wouldn't qualify it as 100%. (Remember when there would only be one Platinum a year? Things change.) But it's definitely good to have another place where this is listed. Good find and thanks for sharing!
From that link, one sees that there are two new Pooh Learning Adventures due in October, and a pre-release Narnia-themed DVD due in the fall.

Thats some great news
I've been wanting to watch this for quite some time now and can't cause I don't own it on VHS
So the sooner the better and Oct 2006 sounds like a good date to me

Thanks for the link, Disney Villain! It's good to finally get a (semi) official word from Disney on it. With some further digging through that site, not only can you find the info Luke found, but also that Disney plans on releasing a new Mickey Mouse series and a new Pooh series early next year. Does this means House of Mouse and Book of Pooh are officially over? They both just seemed to sort of drift away without a word, like most Disney shows. I wonder what the Narnia DVD's all about. Maybe it's some sort of documentary on the history of its creation like with the (many) Tolkien DVD's out there?

Yeah I'm intrigued by this new Pooh series. I'm hoping it'll be animated.

The Mickey Mouse show may not mean that House of Mouse is officially over, this new series is for pre-school kids.

I'm so glad! Even though it is far away, atleast it's coming! and nothing's pushing it back in line. Cinderella, Lady and the Tramp, Little Mermaid, can't wait to add those to my collection!
Thaks for posting that...let's hope Disney keeps their word

LoL
I hate when covers are awful looking like when I first bought Aladdin I took a look at Mulan and the cover was actually terrible
But I'm really curious on how TLM cover will look even though I doubt we'll be seeing it anytime soon

It's nice to see it is confirmed, as if it wasn't already sure to be released.. eheh.
For some reason I'm more excited of finding the Limited Issue version of the Little Mermaid among other few titles which were taken back to the vaults quite quickly, as a collector it would be interesting to get my hands on them.. Although the quality was bad or that's what I've been hearing.
There's still Cinderella and Lady & The Tramp coming.

Yay!

*jumps for joy* Little Mermaid was my favorite as a kid, and I'll definately be getting this, if not the collector's edition.
