Platinum Edition list?

[xfkirsten]

Really? Even with the recent special edition release??

 

[DisneyFan 2000]

Yep. It will probably get a newer release in a few years time...

If you're talking about the previously released 2 Disc Special Edition of Sleeping Beauty, I don't think so. The Sleeping Beauty DVD does not have the Platinum label on it and the Platinum Releases are only twice a year. Besides, Sleeping Beauty was an initial box office failure which I think automatically takes it off the Platinum Collection list.

 

[DisneyFan 2000]

It has been *added* to the list. To my knowledge it will recieve a Platinum edition later on. I am not talking about the recen release.

well that's cute, Sleeping Beauty deserves to be part of the collection, it has a unique look to it and it is also Walt's last and favorite Fairy Tale. It is also the only Disney movie to already have a pre made score.

I hope they also add Pinnochio (very, very memorable also the most technically perfect), Peter Pan (a classic), Mulan (the last musical, great heroine), and Lilo and Stitch (very unique and different from the usual Disney flicks)

Apparently, There has already been a bunch of official additions to the Platinum Collection

Sleeping Beauty - Disney's most expensive movie and his last and favorite fairy tale, not to mention having a unique look and feel to it given by the "moving tapestry" look Disney commissioned for it.

Peter Pan - A timeless classic that has provided some of Disney's most memorable characters.

Pinnochio - Dubbed as the most technically perfect animated film of all time, Pinnochio is a classic that has endured the test of time.

Fantasia - Fantasia pushed the boundaries of animation and is one of Walt's best.

 

[DisneyFan 2000]

Good to hear all those have been added! All very memorable and have proven themselves worthy of the Platinum 'treatmeant'.

This year will see 2 very high end DVD releases only a name short of a Platinum release.

Pocahontas: 10th Anniversary Special Edition - A 2-Disc set loaded with Bonus features and will feature 2 versions of the film the original theatrical release as well as a new special edition featuring a brand new musical sequence "If I Neve Knew You" . To be released March 3rd

Lilo and Stitch: Special Edition - A 2 Disc set brimming with brand new features and extras that were originally intended for its initial release including audio commentary, extended documentary of filmmakers' time in Hawaii, A slew of videos, deleted scenes and so much more. To coincide with the release of Lilo and Stitch 2: Stitch Has A Glitch. To be released in the Fall.

This news made my day. And my Beauty and the Beast Platinum DVD arriving in the mail today.

 

[DisneyFan 2000]

Isn't it out of print?

 

[stitchcastle]

He probably got it off Ebay or somewhere in the web with a lot of stock DVDs of it.

 

[Hobnail Boot]

Amazon.com to be exact.

 

[stitchcastle]

I did some research, I now think "Pocahontas" deserves to be in the Platinum Collection, it is a very well made masterpiece that could be seen as the Sleeping Beauty of the Renaissance. I also still think "Mulan" and "Lilo and Stitch" deserve Platinum treatments.
