Pinocchio coming in 2009


With Blu-Ray the victor in the HD format war, this is the first I've heard of any actual titles planned, and this is one that both needs and deserves a quality release:

Quote:
A booklet inside 101 Dalmatians: Platinum Edition confirms that following Sleeping Beauty this fall, Walt Disney's 1940 classic Pinocchio will be next in line to receive the two-disc Platinum Edition treatment on DVD and Blu-ray. The animated feature, Walt Disney's second,

has been released twice on DVD but never with more than a trailer for bonus features. It has been out of print since January 2002.

If I said I felt easy about how it would turn out knowing Disney's track record, I'd be lying

Keeping fingers crossed. This is the kind of title I've been waiting for!

Re: Pinocchio coming in 2009


Awesome! I hope they do this one right...IE, no frozen/still background during the opening credits, etc...

Regardless, this is one of my all-time favorite films. It has been since I was a kid. I can't wait to pick this one up. My current DVD has served me well since 1999...time for a new edition.

Ooh, I'd love some quality extras. This film deserves them!

I'm a sucker for (almost) any animated Disney product. Even if I don't get to watch it for three months. I'm there.

^ I believe it's inside the 101 Dalmations package which comes out on March 4.

Re: Pinocchio coming in 2009


Yawn.

2009 is so far off I hardly consider this as news. Disney has the habbit of cancelling/delaying their titles anyways, so I'm still waiting for a definitive date on Sleeping Beauty which was supposed to be released this year.
