Lady And The Tramp (1 Viewer)

[Paul Hillenbrand]

You may just want to hold on to your original version.

What concerns me is what was said on the 'Sneak Peek' for "The Lady and the Tramp Platinum Edition" on the Cinderella DVD.

"Now, with picture and sound digitally restored beyond its original brilliance."

I believe The Jungle Book is planned for May 07 and 101 Dalmations for Oct 07. Where did you get the information that there would only be 10? I'd hate for early classics like Pinocchio and Dumbo not to get the PE treatment.

 

[ZackR]

I hope Dumbo and Pinocchio get the "Platinum" treatment. However, for not be a "special edition," I think the current Dumbo DVD is very good. I have both these films, but I would love to see them get the lavish treatment they deserve. They are without a doubt two of my favorite Disney pictures.

 

[Neil Joseph]

I really would like to know what version(s) of the film will be on the disk specifically. Will the theatrical version be available, will the extended edition have completed animation of just the storyboards inserted. Need to know

 

[RichP]

It doesn't. They don't even sell @ $10 anymore. Take a look.

 

[Erwin]

That's funny. I sold one of the two I owned in the fall of 2001 for over $60 and it was used. It's definitely not worth selling. Just keep the old one as a back-up or a gift to child.

Paul,

I'm honestly a bit confused by your assessment of the Cinderella DVD. Color is much more subdued than the usual modern-day fare...color very much like what we see with Bambi and in every way to my eyes reflects the accuracy of the original painted artwork.

In fact, another poster in the review thread (Jeff) even complained that it looked "too dull" to his eyes. I'm not denying that you're seeing what you're seeing in your system, but I'm wondering if something else is at play and causing that DVD to display inaccurately in your video chain.

In any case...I'd love to carry on that conversation with you back in the review thread. Sorry for hijacking...back to Lady and the Tramp!

That's great news, I'm a big Lady and the Tramp fan. Like Sleeping Beauty, I'm bound to keep my widescreen VHS copy because the cover art is so nice.

Alas, when is Little Mermaid?!

(Speaking of Disney, feel free to PM me if you have an extra copy of Beauty and the Beast Platinum and the Christmas special -- be kind, we're all brothers and sisters here.)

According to another thread, October 3, 2006. Look at the bright side, it's less than a year now.

 

[Mike Frezon]

There's a trailer for it, confirming that date, on the head of the Cinderella DVD.

 

[Patrick McCart]

A new Pinocchio would be most welcome... I sold my DVD (for $40 ) a few years ago, so I'm hoping for the new edition to come soon. As for Dumbo, the current DVD is pretty much loaded.

 

[PeterTHX]

I believe "Pinocchio" is part of the Platinum Collection.

"Fantasia" was added recently. 2007 is the rumored release date (the first Blu-ray Platinum perhaps?)

 

[Tarkin The Ewok]

Currently, there are 14 announced Platinum titles. The first 10 are Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, Aladdin, Bambi, Cinderella, Lady and the Tramp, The Little Mermaid, The Jungle Book, and 101 Dalmatians, in that order.

The next four will be Pinocchio, Sleeping Beauty, Fantasia, and Peter Pan. The order for those has not been revealed yet.

I'm so glad that we only have four months to wait for Lady and the Tramp instead of the 12 we would have had with the old release schedule. Trusty and Tramp rule!

 

[ScottR]

It would be even nicer to have one each quarter.

 

[Tarkin The Ewok]

That's true, but I also don't want them to sacrifice quality in a rush to get the DVDs to market. Every 4-8 months is a decent compromise in my opinion.

 

[Adam_S]

Actually if it weren't for this new schedule we wouldn't be getting Lady and the Tramp until fall 2007!

I'm hoping Jungle Book comes out Spring 07 because I want it ASAP, like as not, we'll have to wait til Fall 2007 for it and 101 Dalmations will be Spring 2007

I guess Fantasia and Pinocchio are due for 2008 and Peter Pan Sleeping Beauty for 2009 eh?

Adam

 

[JoeJ]

From the listings at Disney UK's site, Pinocchio will come in March 2008, Peter Pan in March 2009, Sleeping Beauty in March 2010 and Fantasia in March 2011.

 

[David Mackenzie]

"Pinocchio" came out on DVD in the UK in 2003. It's restored really well, I'm surprised it's not out there yet.

 

[Lyle_JP]

I wouldn't get too concerned over whether or not the new Lady and the Tramp DVD will be labeled "Platinum". After all, Sleeping Beauty is not labeled as such, but is every bit as impressive a DVD as any of the other Platinum discs.

[RomanSohor]

How much more do you think they could fit on to a "Platinum" edition of Sleeping Beauty?

I am pretty sure I have no reason at all to double-dip on that one.
