Don't they usually still do the fatter cases on the 3D sets?
And sorry if the question is old, but why is there no 3D set being released?
Disney uses Elite cases for anything more than 3 discs now, the ones I was talking about were Vortex cases. They have rounder top corners and use harder plastic for the disc trays.
edit: yeah Frozen won't have a 3D set for a few months, no clue why.

Nope separate entities ! I wouldn't redeem your points as I have no use for them just the digital copy
Oliver and Company is 14.96 on amazon. Worth it? I think I saw it as a kid, and I remember having these McDonalds toys from it, but I remember nothing about the movie.

Yeah, I think it's actually worth of your money and your time. You might feel that the designs could be smilier to All Dogs Go to Heaven's design.

Definitely!
It's one of my top 3 favorite Disney movies.

I liked Oliver and Company as a kid, but saw it recently and I don't think it aged very well at all.
Pretty pathetic that not even the Diamond series gets decent transfers anymore: http://www.blu-raydefinition.com/reviews/jungle-book-diamond-edition-blu-ray-review.html

That seems like a bit of a stretch.
But B&TB, Aladdin, and The Lion King are outliers for image quality partly because the age of the source material, budget in original production, and vested interest Disney had in their IMAX releases.

It's a little bit better than upscaling the Platinum edition, but not by much.
There's extra depth and fine detail trapped in the grain they're removing from all their films, it's sad to see them with no signs of changing their ways (obviously the digitally created films like BatB and TLK are excepted from this, though their color timing is questionable).
We can't even get disc art anymore.

On top of that, bare-bones menus and no new or minimal effort special features compared to the early Diamond Edition releases, and it's hardly worth buying these movies anymore outside of favorites.
I was buying the Disney movies I didn't even care for just because there was so much care put into the transfers and the special features.

I don't necessarily blame Disney for the reduced efforts; sales of DVD and Blu have plummeted across the board. People are moving away from owning stuff. Obviously higher quality products are more interesting and measures to make stuff more affordable will increase unit sales, but there's enough structural decay industry-wide that it doesn't surprise me that budgets and effort levels have declined.
TV-on-DVD has really suffered from this even worse than films have.

The fact that 30 Rock, Parks and Rec, and Community aren't on blu-ray is god damn criminal.

Mine's coming from Amazon tomorrow, was only $18 and paid with a gc from months ago so I don't feel too bad about it.

Jungle Book came from amazon last night and it still holds
I'm heading up to Toys R Us in a bit to grab Jungle Book for $11.
All you have to do is pre-order Frozen for $1, and you'll get $10 off a Disney title purchased at the same time as the pre-order.
I did this same thing with Monsters University and got it for $13 (I think) when it came out.

Not sure why they are doing Sleeping Beauty again before they release stuff like Herc or Aladdin =/.
Is the new version going to be really any different from the previous BRD release?

It's not clear they are releasing Sleeping Beauty before Hercules. I expect Hercules to be a summer release.
Wow I just happened upon a Sword in the Stone review and I can't believe how it looks. I don't like the movie much but it deserves better. Whoever worked on this BD remaster needs to be fired ASAP and blacklisted from industry. Shameful, embarrassing work.
There are no words to describe this. The original work was destroyed.

Whoever did the Jungle Book is amazing imo.
I believe Lowry did it before disney ditched them....Lowry should a did Mermaid too

Are you SURE? I remember Disney in-house doing the 2D/3D Mermaid conversion and restoration.

Marketing tie-in with the release of Maleficent would be my guess.
Time in Vault before Blu-ray:
Snow White: 8 years (8 years between releases)
Pinocchio: 7 years (9 years between releases)
Fantasia: 7 years (10 between)
Bambi: 4 years (6 between)
Cinderella: 5 years (7 between)
Peter Pan: 4 years (6 between)
Lady and the Tramp: 5 years (6 between)
Sleeping Beauty: 5 years (5 between)
101 Dalmatians: will be at least 5 years (at least 6 between)
Jungle Book: 4 years (5 between)
The Little Mermaid: 5 years (7 between)
Beauty and the Beast: 8 years (8 between)
Aladdin: 6 years and counting (9 years since last release)
The Lion King: 7 years (8 between)
I'm surprised they haven't vaulted Tangled yet.

I'm confused about the difference between these two sets of numbers. Aren't they they the same thing? - time since last release, and waiting time till bluray?

It's region free, just order it from Amazon UK?

listen to the mad man
One is length of time it's been in the vault; one is length of time since the last release. The difference between the two is the amount of time the release was available before being vaulted.
