The 60th edition for Sword looks to be worse than the original 2013 release.
The back says Digital Restoration, but looking at the side by side, the background has been deleted on the right side.
Streaming services push what they want you to watch over what you actually want to watch.
Some of the classics should still on there though, don't see why they'd remove The Parent Trap or Freaky Friday unless they only want to acknowledge the remakes over the originals.
When Disney+ was first announced, they had a extensive list of everything that was going to be available, they had just about every live action classic from the golden era, all most the entire animation library of both films and TV, and a pretty wide selection of TV movies throughout the years...
DMC was essentially everyone's last chance to own a lot of classic Disney titles that have mostly been forgotten due to the changing of hands of the company. With this new distribution deal I really doubt we'll likely see the majority of those titles ever again in our lifetimes.
The vault is being treated like a steak that's been in the freezer so long it's has freezer burn. The company been around for 100 years, but they own care about the last 10 years and a few selected titles from the past 90 years as well.
Of course Peter Pan would get some type of treatment for this new release as it's one of the only 12 animated classics Disney acknowledges while the rest are forgotten.
Disney has had over 20 years to give The Sword In The Stone the proper release it rightly deserves and yet nothing. The...
When was a 60th anniversary edition of The Sword In The Stone announced?
I check various sites daily about releases and such and have not seen anything mention a new edition coming this year.
We should sue for false adverting as the present Disney does not care about storytelling or Walt's Legacy
This 100th Anniversary is just going to be another quick cash grab of select titles only, won't see anything from the vault unless it's released through DMC.
Zorro, Spin & Marty, and even the original Disneyland TV show could all do well with a blu-ray release. Disney could easily lease out those titles to Shout Factory and they'd sell out quickly. There lone outing with them so far with Gravity Falls sold very well.
Zorro might not be "PC" for today's crowd and Disney might not want to offended by re-releasing it
that or
Disney figures a blu-ray collection won't sell well enough unlike another re-release of Snow White will.
This year is the 45th Anniversary of the original film, but I too doubt it's going to be anything but the same discs from 2012.
I can give Disney some props for that, but most likely wont be a recurring thing though.
The first release of The Rescuers/Down Under wasn't great, but I did like the cover they created by mixing both films together.
This new re-release is just reusing the 1989 re-release poster.
I've seen almost all of Disney's packaged 40's films, except The Three Caballeros and Saludos Amigos. Melody Time is a fun anthology of music based shorts.
