Bob Eger at the disney Q2 earnings he said the company has changed its platinum schedule to release 2 a year one in march and one in october and all the tittles will be released by 2007, after lion king the 2 a year will kick in! beside the platinum tittles coming early we will get 2 disc set of pinocchio, sleeping beauty, peter pan and fantasia!!!!!!!!

also no more 10 year moratorium, pixars films will go into a 5 year moratorium and he did say the windows of time will change and perhaps reduce.

Why is Fantasia getting a Platinum Edition? The Fantasia Anthology was a killer CE. I guess we might get it uncut though. Hopefully they won't re-use material.
As for the others, that's great, because I haven't bought any previous editions. A great move for Disney.

We'll never see this uncut again. Same with the rest of the movies with edited scenes...

Then, I'm sorry, but there's no point to buying a Fantasia Platinum.

I think Fantasia and Sleeping Beauty WOULD be the same things they've already put out but with a different label. Except Disc 3 of the Anthology would probably lose the Fantasia 2000 and become Disc 2 for that. But Peter Pan and Pinocchio would have to get new, improved sets, no?

WOW!
my favorite movie a platinum!!!! Go Pinocchio!!!!
hum...
are they still going to release sleeping beauty later this year then?

I think the Sleeping Beauty release coming in September is unaffected. It will become Platinum at some point in the future, that's the way I take it.

well it will be stupid if they did that cause the moratorium tittle is only 5 years and if they want all the rest of the tittle out by 05 adding sleeping beauty till throw the 2 movies cycle off

So maybe they'll call the September release a Platinum then. I'm confused.

or maybe they will pull it forward, i doubt they will but they are starting it this year the 2 a year with sleeping beauty added to the platinum and next year they will start their official march and october strategy till october 07.

Well, I just thought about the whole "Fantasia" Deal. I came to thinking it might be the Fantasia 2006?!?!?!
That is a very great possibility. However, I'm not sure, but it would rule if this is sooo.
