Blargh! My only BluRay player is my PS3. Hopes, dashed.
As for the dub, I don't care for the dub but I know when I share the movie with friends they have the mentality of "I don't want to read this shit." so :\
I did for about half of them. Is that wrong?
Looks like Little Mermaid 3D has an official release date of Sep 13:

Btw, how was Monster Inc 3D? I'm only going because it's only a $1 with my movie money but I was still interested in thoughts. I think I'm going to wait on Little Mermaid 3D until it comes out for home as 3D does look better on my TV (unless there is another deal like this one...maybe with Wreck-It-Ralph?).

Nah, TLM doesn't have an official date yet.

me want Aladin 3 movie box art
I'm not sure about that. From what I heard that Aladdin isn't Diamond Edition, but I could be wrong tho.
It wasn't going to be at first. Then it was announced earlier this year as one. Now, who knows.
With all this talk, we still haven't heard anything on Jungle Book!
That's Disney for you.

How do they even decide on what is a Diamond Edition? It seems fairly arbitrary. Aladdin's DVD release was a Platinum Edition so I think it's a safe bet it will get a Diamond Edition.
Do they give a fuck about the movie in question?
If no, then no Platinum/Diamond.
If yes, then Platinum/Diamond.
Basically its all of their biggest hits and/or critical successes. ie. The Little Mermaid through The Lion King.
That's how I see it.

Problem is that I heard that Disney weren't happy with Aladdin's sales (as Platinum) I can't give out the source but I remembered several people were discussing about it. I think I read that in this thread or Blu Ray thread someone else linked to.

Aladdin had a crappy encoding, so it was deserved.

Man I had no idea the Beauty and the Beast 3D edition got vaulted so long ago. I have the first blu-ray release and didn't think the 3D one came out until much later.
Debating whether it's worth it for my collection to just go ahead and blow the cash on the 3D re-issue. It's the only one that I'm missing, my siblings got me Dumbo, Cinderella and Fox and the Hound for my birthday.

Where is a A Goofy Movie
SERIOUSLY, It's in my top 3 Disney movies, where the hell is my bluray of this? I needs me some powerline!
Is that Atlantis set definitely slated for release in March? It's strangely not listed on Amazon yet, although the other sets releasing that day are present. I want to revisit that movie. I always loved the art and concept. I fear it's getting pushed back again.
On the Mulan/Mulan II Blu-ray page on Amazon, you go to page 4 of the 'customers who bought this item also bought' suggestions, you'll find Touch of Love 3D - The Sensual Anal Sex Experience.

Ditto, I thought Spirited Away, Howl's, and even (I know I'm gonna get reamed for this...) the Dakota dub of Totoro were really enjoyable. Last I saw them, there was nothing deplorable in any of these dubs, nothing like vast changes in dialogue/score Kiki underwent (which was actually corrected and re-edited to match the original audio in the latest re-release), or the Miley rock song crammed at the end of Ponyo. Most recently Arriety was also really decent (and in some areas exceeded the original!), and the announced cast for Poppy Hill looks promising. Miyazaki himself prefers a dub in one's native tongue to allow the viewer full immersion in the visuals and world over reading anyway. I'll always give the original VA's a look on my second viewing, but I have no qualms watching it in english, especially when there's actual effort put in.
Currently sitting at 850 reward points. Enough for a blu ray.
Or, I could wait and save up to 1500 and get this bad boy:
Much, much better cover.
I would suggest importing the five disc with the same artwork from North America.

A little OT, but does anyone know if the Disney Store usually stocks products to correspond with the release of the Blu Ray? Just saw that they added new Peter Pan stuff and I would love to get some Atlantis or Brother Bear plushes. Lol
They do indeed. With catalogue titles like Atlantis and such though I think the chances are slim to none that you'll see any new product produced. Top tier titles like Lion King, Monsters Inc, etc. tend to get the new merch produced for the Disney Store and Disney Parks around the time the blu ray is released.

Dang. I knew it would be a long shot with titles like that. Guess I'll have to do some searching online....

What exactly are you getting all huffy about? It's never sold at list price by amazon, it's been like that for pretty much forever.

Are Canadian releases the same as American releases?
That is one seriously ugly box. The base artwork is the same but... well, look what they've done to it!
I also don't really like the original Tron. It's just dated. Much as I suspect Tron Legacy will be dated in 30 year's time, too.

Am I the only one who doesn't like the sideways titles?
Yes.

I had a quick Google but I'm not awesome at finding info for this stuff.. But is there a release date for Lilo and Stitch or the Aladdin trilogy? I haven't seen either when checking my local stores nor online.
I thought he was talking about Sleeping Beauty and Snow White when I read before. Those are OOP, and have been for years, so yeah the price is going to go up.

I'll start reminding you in pop gaf when new releases come out!

haha.
I think the latest one I bought was the Finding Nemo pack.
I'm worried I might've missed some in between, but I'm not at home at the moment so I can't even check.

Didn't read like that at all, seemed to suggest that amazon was gouging people because the list price is high but they never charge list price... Was just weird because amazon actually has a "list price" but it doesn't really mean anything. If I misunderstood than I misunderstood but it seems oddly worded if that's the case.
Just found this thread, awesome. I just got a new TV last month so I have been buying up Disney BR like crazy. So what are you guys getting with the DMR points? I don't see anything on the site that looks good at all. Maybe my daughter will like Tinkerbell when she is older but man they need more stuff.
No, you're right. The second part of my post wasn't directed at you. I was just stating why the prices are so high now.
Apparently Robin Hood and other movies are being made available in HD...for a paid TV subscription service...

Here's a photo of mine. It's lenticular, so it looks really great in person.
Ahh I've been looking for this set everywhere this Boxing Week but it seems like it's sold out everywhere now. Had to settle for Legacy alone (not bad since it was $15, but Tron Classic was nowhere to be found, either).

Atlantis is also coming out same day 3-12-13 too with an awesome cover:
(sorry for small pic, high quality one isn't available yet)
I know it's essentially a huge Nadia ripoff, but I still like that movie.

I just watched the original again last night. It's so much better the second time around. (Yes, I admit I had only watched it once before, the day I bought the Blu)

Ya, it's why I run into this thread every time I see it bumped to make sure I'm not stuck without something and the prices like double. :/
I'll admit, I've only seen it once before as well, but I really enjoyed it and Legacy, so it'd be nice to own them both. Also, quick question: are Ghibli movies discussed in this thread as well? I'd love to find out about sales on them or new releases (HMV was selling Castle in the Sky for $50 on Christmas Eve... no thanks :/; and more specifically, I'm still waiting for a Princess Mononoke BluRay announcement).
