Any hope of a 3D Aladdin on blu-ray anytime soon?
It's not out yet is it?
It's out today. Amazon has it listed as shipping in two weeks on their site which is crap because I preordered it 3 months ago.
February 2013
I too would like to see their classic TV animation treated with more respect. The incomplete DVD sets that are out have a dirty image. They need to remaster them and release complete sets(hopefully on BD this time).Little OT but I wish Disney released their tv shows with some respect like Emperor's New School and Hercules. Along with the classics Duck Tales, Rescue Rangers and Darkwing Duck.
When is Wreck-it Ralph coming to Bluray?

WTF is going on with this release? First it's delayed like what was it, 2-3 weeks? Now the launch is all fucked on Amazon and delayed another 2 weeks, half the B&M stores don't actually have it in, and those that do are sold out.
The hell?
Anyone else get this message from Amazon:
This is some crap!
Atlantis: The Lost Empire is supposedly getting released in the fall of next year, along with Mulan (yay!) and Brother Bear. There's nothing for Hercules or The Emperor's New Groove right now. :\So are we getting turn of the century films like Atlantis, Hercules and Emperors New Groove soon? Have the urge to watch them.
Are the Rescuers, Great Mouse Detective, Lady and the Tramp, Fox and the Hound, and Robin Hood considered classics like Snow White and Alice in Wonderland? With the exception of Lady and the Tramp, I've always felt that the aforementioned fell a notch below what is considered "timeless" by cultural critics.

you're correct, if Snow White/Alice in Wonderland is A+ tier, Lady and Tramp is A, Fox and Hound is A-, and the other three are in the B-tiers.

The Rescuers, The Great Mouse Detective, The Fox and the Hound and Robin Hood were released in the period after Walt Disney's death sometimes known as the Dark Age. The films in the period don't seem to be as well-known or highly regarded.
LET'S GET DOWN TO BUSINESSalong with Mulan (yay!)
Going to have to ask why you'd be hesitant on Beauty.Got Cinderella today. I didn't know it came out until I visited this thread earlier in this week. Thanks.
So now I have Cinderella, Snow White and Sleeping Beauty. Next on the list, Pinocchio, Dumbo and in the future The Little Mermaid.
On the fence about Beauty and the Beast.
What. Did I watch the same films?you're correct, if Snow White/Alice in Wonderland is A+ tier, Lady and Tramp is A, Fox and Hound is A-, and the other three are in the B-tiers.
Cool, I thought it had already been confirmed.Head's up - one of the directors of Hunchback confirmed it was coming to Blu-ray on facebook. He said that he gave his approval to the final cover art and that it will be bundled in with the sequel (fucking hell!).
Where does Oliver and Company fit in
I hadn't heard about that promotion.A+++ tier alongside A Goofy Movie!....in my opinion.
It might be too late for some people (considering it's Saturday evening), but Best Buy has The Great Mouse Detective for $17.99 this week which means you can get it for $12.99 using the 'Upgrade 2 Blu' promotion (trade in any DVD for $5 off any $9.99+ Blu-Ray).
I nabbed my copy this past Wednesday.
You wanna talk about Dark Period Disney, the one true title that stands out is the Black Cauldron. Nobody ever seems to like or care about that one
I kinda like the xerox process, honestly. It's not as clean as the typical Disney Look but the rough look of the [cleaned up] pencils translates to much more energy in the drawings. I just watched Great Mouse Detective last night and when Rattigan is chasing Basil through the gears in the clock tower, the drawings are crazy sketchy and it makes him look even more out of control.
I'm really bummed that GMD doesn't get as much recognition as the other Disney movies. It's really wonderful and was a HUGE step for the company (their first film with CGI), and I just love the characters. I wish they had made more of them, or a TV series. I wonder if that's how Chip & Dale Rescue Rangers came about?
What. Did I watch the same films?
From what I remember, I personally like/love the Black Cauldron. But no I was not joking in that it's publicly shit on as the worst of the Disney feature films and fuckin NOBODY remembers it when I talk about it, not to mention it was a huge box office bomb. Of all the "Dark Era" Disney movies Black Cauldron is the top (bottom?) of the pile. At least people know about Fox & the Hound, and to a lesser extent (thanks to its rerelease in 92 I bet) Great Mouse Detective.If I remember correctly, The Black Cauldron was actually the first animated movie with CGI though I personally have never noticed it and TGMD was the first one to use it prominently.
Not sure if you were joking about The Black Cauldron, given its reputation but I actually like it quite a bit. Along with most of the films in the "Dark Age", I don't think there was any noticeable decline in quality during this period.

Just watched Lady and the Tramp and The AristoCats.
I'd put LatT as an A-, mostly on the grounds of some utterly fantastic animation. The dogs are completely convincing, perhaps Disney's greatest animal work. The characters were all fun but the story was so-so. The old racist stereotypes of the Siamese cats didn't overly help things.
AristoCats was much more of a B film, maybe a B-. Not knowing much, I'm going to presume this was during one of Disney's cheap periods. The backgrounds are flat and the animations, while detailed, lack a certain life. And I swear Madam was really obviously rotoscoped, which can look fantastic with the right artistic direction (Sleeping Beauty) but here just looked cheap. Was that Winnie the Pooh's and Baloo's voice actors I heard? Also more bad taste Asia-Pacific stereotypes. I guess blacks were off limits by this point
I don't consider Snow White to be an A+ film. Of course, it deserves to be respected as a pioneer of feature animation but I don't think it's actual quality is all that great. The pacing seems off with certain sequences such as the Dwarfs discovering Snow White in the cottage lasting too long. There isn't really much to the story either.
On the fence about Beauty and the Beast.
Snow White is certainly A+ tier. especially considering it is 75 years old. It's production alone makes it a staggering achievement that created an industry and changed Hollywood forever.
I'd put Alice up there too as one of the all time Disney classics.
So it's an important film, not a good one. Gotcha.The pioneering is simply what makes it as such. Given its age, its time must be considered. Compare it to other movies from the 1930s. I mean, it's an incredible, incredible accomplishment that is nearly timeless.
I'm not trying to say it's an A+ film amongst all films of all time, I am saying that among Disney animated features, it certainly earns A+ tier status
