NYT confirms upcoming Disney Platinum titles coming to Blu-ray (1 Viewer)

[Patrick McCart]

If Fantasia does not have the option to hear Deems Taylor's voice (besides the lost audio parts) or the uncut Pastoral segment, it's going to be difficult to want this. Fantasia is on my top list of BluRays I'd like, but it needs to be the original uncut version for real. Slap a disclaimer on it, have branching, etc. Just don't put "Original and Uncut" on the cover while re-dubbing Taylor, cutting out footage, and cropping shots. It was dishonest in 2000, it'll be dishonest in 2009/2010.

You can watch it on Itunes for $1.99.

Thanks, I did a web search and already found it. Don't have Itunes. Not going to install it. I probablly won't see it until it shows up on some BD animation compilation. It's only a matter of time.

I'd be perfectly happy if they reinstated the "offending" scenes by way of seamless branching; that way, we keep the PC forces happy, and the footage is still available for those who want to see it.

Didn't Disney also intimate that Pixar's FINDING NEMO is slated for a 2009 release on Blu-ray? Or is that just wishful thinking on my part?

 

[Stephen_J_H]

Yes. The Digital Bits reported that it was delayed from this year.

It should be improved dramatically indeed. The colors were all wrong in the dvd, I hope they fix that for the Blu-Ray.
And of course Fantasia needs to be uncut, that goes without saying.
