I think it was mass produced as their first Blu Ray plus Sleeping Beauty was also released I think 2 or 3 years prior?

Anyone know of any deals for The Fox and the Hound? That's the only one missing for me so far.

It might work as part of the Target Lady and the Tramp deal, though I'm not totally sure.
Speaking of which, I just watched Lady and the Tramp. The transfer is stunning; no surprises there.
Going to Target tomorrow. Picking up Lady and the Tramp and most likely Bambi. These will be my first two Disney films. Any idea on how to best pick up the ones already vaulted? (I would want Snow White, Pinnochio and Sleeping Beauty)
Also, just out of curiosity, what do you guys end up doing with your slip covers for your blus? I hate that some have them and some don't, so I take them all off and just stash them somewhere.

Amazon (through its third-party vendors) is probably your best bet. Most B&Ms ran out of copies ages ago. As I noted earlier today, Sleeping Beauty is still pretty cheap. Pinocchio and Snow White, not so much.
I keep them on. The spines look so much nicer with them than without.
Alright, guess I'd better hop on them pretty quickly then. Especially Sleeping Beauty before it goes up. As for the Target deal, just need to print the Disney Rewards coupon and the rest is automatic at the register?

Yup. Just be sure to print the correct coupon, depending on whether you want the two-disc or the three-disc.

No prob!
I wish I had a 1080p-capable TV to get the absolute best picture quality, but it still looks great in 1080i/720p.

Beauty ans the beast and Bambi are getting shelved soon if anyone missed out on those. Fantasia was released I think for 4 months. We have Cinderella this year and after that only Aladdin little mermaid, the jungle book, Peter pan, and 101 Dalmatians are left

Is the first post a complete list of past and known future releases? I kind of want to see easily what I've missed and what I am going to get in the future.
It is for the classics. Doesn't list recent releases (Dinosaur, Chicken Little, Meet the Robinsons, Bolt, Princess and the Frog, Tangled, Winnie the Pooh) that are still technically in the canon, and Pixar. Also no straight-to-dvd sequels because we all agree it's better if we pretend those don't exist.

We discuss pretty much all Disney Blu-ray releases in this thread, but the OP is only for the Disney animated films subject to the Vault policy.
At this point, animated films from about 2000 to the present aren't subject to the Vault yet, nor are any of the Pixar films. Again, we still discuss them, but since they're in no jeopardy of getting vaulted any time soon, there's no real need to put them in the OP.
EDIT: Yeah, basically what johnsmith said.

That is the one set where I won't mind if the direct sequels are packaged in.

as a KID I loved The Return of Jafar but man is it ugllllly
Lets talk about aladdin.
So after all the events of the first movie, aladdin was probably all like
'yo sultan, does this mean I get to live with you guys, or at least get a sweet new pad?'
And he's all like 'naa you still have to live in the streets, cartoon series wont be as interesting if you arent still poor.'
'Cant I at least get a title or something? like Hero of Agraba'
'No people will still call you street rat.'

well the sequel was suppose to be the begging of the TV show ,and the third movie was suppose to end it.

I'd get the third Aladdin movie, if released, but I don't really care if it's never released. I'd rather see stuff like Oliver and Company and The Great Mouse Detective released first.

There's not a single sequel that deserves to see the light of day.
They should all be stuck in the real Disney vault with Song of the South.

Rescuers Down Under?
I can only hope that one day we'll see The Emperor's New Groove re-released on Blu Ray.

What do you guys think of Pocahontas being released with the cheap sequel? I personally think that it tarnishes the integrity of the original making them pack it in. Fantasia & The Rescuers seem like logical choices, because they were both released theatrically. Aladdin we know wont get the sequels packed in with them because its a prestigious title. However, I believe that any Disney release outside the Diamond editions will have the sequels attached to them. So be prepared for The Hunchback of Notre dame & The Hunchback of Notre dame II, Mulan & Mulan II, and The Emperors New Groove & The Kronks New Groove.

I should have qualified my statement by saying straight-to-video sequels, not theatrical sequels.
Never said it shouldn't be. I was merely saying Disney should banish their straight-to-video sequels to whatever purgatory they've banished Song of the South to.
Personally, I don't mind because Pocahontas isn't very good.

I'd be okay with the last one.
I wouldn't mind seeing something for Aladdin similar to The Lion King here they have a trilogy of movies released at the same time. They weren't of high quality, but they were decent nonetheless. It doesn't bother me about the others since they're usually the same price anyay.
We had a coupon for a free ticket to see Beauty and the Beast 3D so my gf took me to see it today.
We got the bluray but I've never seen the movie. I must say that the 3D was pretty cool (I'm not usually a big fan but it wasn't distracting and actually looked pretty decent for a movie not shot in 3D.)
The movie itself was obviously spectacular, I can see why it was such a huge hit.
I gotta say that Disney has one of the best membership rewards programs out there.
We've gotten other free movie tickets for buying blurays (I think for Toy Story 3?) and you get points on the ticket stubs, as well as points for buying the movies, and a convenient place to stream digital copies.
They know how to take care of their movie-going customer.

I'll scan mine in for you later.

You'll need to crop it a bit, but it's scanned in at the highest resolution possible.

I had a hard time finding a copy for a decent price, but I got lucky when Amazon restocked a couple of copies. Best thing to do is check Amazon everyday.

Absolutely. Shit gets annoying. Luckily, I've bought most of my Disney movies at launch.
Barnes and Noble is currently having a 50% off sale on children's Blu-rays and DVDs. This includes Disney movies. Snow White is $19.99, though it appears you'll have to wait for a week or two to get it. You can also use code U7K4X3B to save an additional 20% off one item. Sale ends Monday.

Ugh, the shipping is really killing it for me. I got The Fox and the Hound down to $15.99 but after tax and shipping it's back to $21.
There's actually some decent deals there on some Disney blu-rays for the completionists. I'm really tempted to grab these just for the collection, but I'm really trying to cut back on how many blu-rays I buy. My blu-ray backlog is almost as bad as my gaming one.
Dinosaur $13.49

More people need to watch Meet the Robinsons. It's absolutely one of the best CG Disney movies, and a fantastic movie all around.
I'm very tempted to pick up either Dinosaur or Chicken Little though.
