It's so they create unique codes that you can't save to a PDF. It's worth the hassle.Kagari said:

Add The Incredibles, coming in April.
No word on Aladdin? I thought it was this year...
No word on Aladdin? I thought it was this year...
I have all of the classics listed in the OP, and waiting on Alice in the mail(on it's way already) and have Bambi pre-ordered. Once Lion King's pre-order is up, I take care of that.
I have Dumbo from Mexico as well, and I'm really glad I decided to import it because there hasn't been any indication that I am aware of that it will be released here anytime soon.
I also buy the other Disney movies that I personally consider must-haves for Disney fans, like James and the Giant Peach and Nightmare Before Christmas (Bug's Life and others count too).
Basically, I'm a Disney movie animation nerd. I can't wait for The Incredibles in April.
The next Diamond editions I am hoping for are Cinderella, and The Little Mermaid(or Jungle Book) in 2012, and possibly a 30 year anniversary edition of Robin Hood(it would be a year early) and a 10 year anniversary edition of Aladdin, and possibly throw in Nemo. That, IMO, would make for a great 2012 for Disney catalog releases. 2011 is going to be pretty good itself.

Do you know where to find info on when they get vaulted?Christopher said:
It's always easy to find news on new releases, but Disney is so sneaky about putting them back in the vault.

Walmart also excepts manufacturer coupons. Pretty much everyone accepts it but bestbuy is on sale for $20, I think walmart is $23, and I dunno what target is. (before coupon obviously)

Pretty much all of the brick and mortars should accept the coupons.Le-mo said:
It won't work on Amazon, but some of the people on the DVDTalk forum have said Amazon will give you $10 off a future purchase if you contact customer support about the Alice coupon.

Ya, for like $2 or $3 it's usually not worth the hassle imo. Especially since they usually want the physical ad and I don't have those. I've had problems before on easier price matches with no coupon and had problems so I usually try not to unless I have to.

Been picking all of these up as they have come out. They all look amazing in HD, Sleeping Beauty especially.
I remember when HD was just coming out and some people were saying how animated movies wouldn't really benefit from HD that much, boy were they wrong.

How is the quality on the Dumbo Blu-Ray. Can't believe its out in Mexico. I'm really considering picking it up when I get paid on Tuesday.
I'm picking all of these up right when they come out for three reasons
A) My 6 week old son will get to grow up with (at this point in time) the best versions of these classic films.
B) My 14yr step daughter might be moving in with us (long story, ex has custody and he's a major fucktard, first court case is tomorrow).
C) I love the old Disney films.

My body is ready
I know it's not Disney, but all this stuff makes me want to see a Blu-Ray release for Balto. That's just a dream now though. =(

This is the anticipated release order for the Diamond Editions. You'll notice that a couple of them have already been released on Blu-ray, but this is specifically for the Diamond Editions, so they'll likely be getting a Blu-ray re-release at some point in the future.icarus-daedelus said:
The Lion King (October 4, 2011)
Lady and the Tramp
Cinderella
Peter Pan
The Little Mermaid
One Hundred and One Dalmatians
The Jungle Book
Pinocchio

To clarify, just because it's not on that list doesn't mean it's not going to get a Blu-ray in the near future.Anth0ny said:
That list is specifically for the "Diamond Edition" releases, and not all of their Blu-ray releases have been Diamond Editions. Sleeping Beauty, Pinocchio, Fantasia and even Alice aren't classified as Diamond Editions.

Honestly, it just seems to be a marketing thing. It's what Disney considers to be the "best of the best."Le-mo said:
Here are a couple of blurbs from the news release when they announced the Diamond Editions in 2009.

I'm sure they will, but they might not be quite as tricked out as the Diamond Editions.shwimpy said:

I would totally buy Emperor's New Groove if it came out. I had it on DVD but it has gone missing
I must have loaned it to someone years ago.

I recall that Sleeping Beauty and Pinocchio were part of the Platinum Collection still. That is why they are going to rerelease them again as the final couple of releases of the Diamond Collection in 2 or 3 years.BertramCooper said:

I love everything about Aladdin - except for Robin Williams.Anth0ny said:
Not a fan of Genie. Not at all.
Pretty much. The Platinum Editions were predominantly DVDs, but since the Sleeping Beauty and Pinocchio Platinum Editions were released after Blu-ray hit the scene, they couldn't possibly not release them on Blu-ray as well.Leshita said:

They need to release more. I want to rejoin the Disney Blu-Ray club but I already have most of what is available that is interesting. (Animation & Pixar . . . no thanks to Jonas brothers and bad live action movies.)

Thanks for the reminder OP, I lallygagged when Fantasia (my favorite classic Disney film) came out on DVD and never got it while I could (I think I was unemployed at the time). Ended up paying 90 bucks for a good copy (kinda regret it now with this more definitive version coming out). Gotta make sure I don't do that again.
I'll probably get Sleeping Beauty too if the quality is as beautiful as people say.
Count me in! Balto is a sorely underrated film. Kinda campy even by "Disney" standards, but a beautiful film.
Can't wait for the likes of Aladdin, Hunchback, and Mulan coming to Blu-Ray. Those films oughta look GORGEOUS!

I can't justify the money to upgrade, so I've just been buying the ones I don't already have on DVD. What sorta sucks is all the ones they have coming I already have, but there are other Disney movies I'd like to own but at this point I'll wait for Blu-ray, but who knows when they're coming. I wouldn't mind having Winnie the Pooh, Atlantis and Lilo & Stitch.
I do need to still get The Princess and the Frog.

I'm actually glad that I did not go all out in collecting during the DVD days (only Disney film I ever purchased was The Lion King, and Disney Pixar's being Finding Nemo). I am going all out with Blu-ray though, and have purchased every Disney Steelbook/Ironpack Blu-ray release so far, I think I will be satisfied with the quality until the day I upgrade to an 70" display... hopefully. Part of me is wishing that Blu-rays stay as the final physical medium for film and the future being all digital so I won't have as much an urge to repurchase all my movies again.
