New Disney for 2004-in. Lilo & Sitch SE (1 Viewer)

[Derek P]

According to the Digital Bits there will be four 2 disc special editions coming out next year they are Pocahontas: Special Edition, Alice in Wonderland: Special Edition, Mary Poppins: Special Edition and Lilo & Stitch: Special Edition and their Platinum title is expected to be Aladdin.

 

[Chad A Wright]

I was just about to pick up the original Lilo & Stitch, but I guess I'll wait. The other releases should be great. Can't wait for Aladdin and Mary Poppins.

 

[PaulP]

This was more or less officially confirmed a couple of days ago over at UltimateDisney.com with a scan of the flyer in the new Sleeping Beauty SE.

I will probably pick up Mary Poppins not sure about the others

 

[JustinCleveland]

Alice for sure, Mary Poppins maybe...

Lilo And Stitch...

No. Sorry Disney, but you put out a decent single disc, and I see no reason to upgrade.

 

[Patrick McCart]

The SE's of Mary Poppins and Alice In Wonderland will find a nice spot on my shelf.

If Aladdin is being released...that would be a good time for Disney to release a restored version of The Thief and the Cobbler.

 

[DaViD Boulet]

I'm *very* excited.

Especially to finally get nice new reference 16x9 transfers of Mary Poppins and Pocohontas!

And espeicially especially since I'll be *reviewing* them

Lilo & Stitch: Special Edition

Ah, finally... From the talk at the time of the original release, I expected this much sooner, but I'll take it and gladly fill that empty spot in the L section of my collection.

 

[Joel C]

I thought there was going to be more than one Platinum title a year from now on.

 

[Scott_J]

I was thinking the same thing, Joel. I was looking forward to getting Aladdin (my favorite of the announced Platinum titles) earlier in the year, instead of having to wait for October.

 

[LukeB]

The bi-yearly Platinum releases apparently isn't going to start until 2005. Just Aladdin in the fall next year.

 

[JustinCleveland]

Isn't Sleeping Beauty a Platinum title?

 

[MatthewA]

Well, I'll be picking up ALICE and LILO. Hopefully ALICE will have all the LD extras. I'm glad I held off on a DVD upgrade.

 

[Dick]

SLEEPING BEAUTY is not officially a Platinum title. Makes no difference under what moniker they release these titles - no one excels at the 2-disc special editions the way Disney does.

 

[Dome Vongvises]

Damn, Disney is putting out some good stuff. But I'll pass on Pocahontas.

 

[DaViD Boulet]

Dude,

I *love* Pocahontas!

[Chuck L]

I can't wait...will be nice to finally get a proper release for my boy Stitch! (Though I am VERY alright with what is presently out, a full fledged two disc with the all the extra's that were originally prepared is going to be nice!)

 

[Jason_V]

All I hafta say is it's about time with Lilo and Stitch. So where's the Treasure Planet SE? It's the last recent Disney flick without a 2 disc edition, or even the mention of a 2 disc edition.

 

[StevenJ]

Pocahontas & Lilo and Stitch!?

Rock on! I can't wait!

Below is a snippet from an DVDFile interview with Don Hahn, Gordon Ho and Andy Fiditsky:


What was the reasoning behind the recent decision to speed up the Platinum title release schedule?

GH: We made a statement that, yes, because of the positive reception to our Platinum line, that starting in 2005 we will be releasing two Platinum titles a year, so that by 2007 or around there we will have gone through our entire collection. And that made a lot of people happy.
