Re: Disney the classics, animated and non animated?
I could not agree more, Ben. I would love to see a full on, no holds barred release of Tron on Bd that rivals the incredible 'Exclusive Archive Edition' laserdisc release.

Fidelity to the source should always be the goal for Blu-ray releases.

I'd love to see Dick Tracy in HD. The art direction and photography in that film are just amazing.

Bugs Life was actually recomposed in the computer for 4x3 so the framing of that title was actually as correct as the later 16x9. Of course that didn't help much if you had a 16x9 tv.

Yes, the 2nd time the title was released on DVD it was released in widescreen 16x9 (2.35:1) along with a digitally recomposed 4x3 1.33:1 version.
The original DVD was 4x3 (non anamorphic) letterbox 2.35:1.

Oh I got ya letterboxed non anamorphic. I don't think I ever saw that version, just the more recent release.

Re: Disney the classics, animated and non animated?
Yes. Too bad this wasn't across the board. With minor catalog titles (some of which, frankly, I want on BD more than things like Pirates and Narnia) it was a toss-up as to which would get remastered, which would get 16x9.
And then there's the sound issues.

If you want a cheap option right now for a Blu-ray player there is a
thread in the Bargains and Coupons section for a refurbished Phillips player for $198.

Pinocchio is on schedule for March 2009.
Whatever ends up being the Platinum release in Fall 09 (most likely Snow White, Beauty and the Beast or Fantasia) will be released on BD at the same time.
