Several 100th Anniversary Disney Wal-mart Exclusives February 7, 2023

New listings of several Disney titles coming to Wal-mart with Collectible Pins and included the Mickey and Minnie Shorts Blu-ray listed above.

I never expected these Disney 100 editions to have new discs. But it turns out they haven't even changed the cover artwork on the case either. As seen below, the silver Disney 100 artwork is just a new slipcover. Everything below that is the same as the previous release. For Frozen, this is the same artwork that has been on the market since March 2014. The Little Mermaid is the artwork for the Signature Collection release from February 2019.

You're actually surprised by this? This tactic has been done by every studio when it comes to re-releasing.

No, not really. But it is possible they could have done new cases. The Emperor's New Groove, The Rescuers/Rescuers Down Under and and Lilo & Stitch were reissued last year with new box art and the same discs. So it happens both ways.

The deception of a new cover art happens all the time, I've been fooled by it plenty of times.

As I said, I know that. I never expected the discs to change. But because Disney has also put out the same discs with new case artwork other times, I wasn't sure whether the new artwork was on a slipcover or a case until I saw those pictures. Now we have the definitive answer that they are only slipcovers. That's all.

Knotts Berry Farm…
what a dead place until they put in rides

Dude...it was a berry farm with a restuant, that happened to have a small ghost town on the proporty. Thier claim to fame was their fried chicken and boysenberry pie, LOL!!! It wasn't an amusment park.
Later they started adding western themed rides, and eventually grew into a emusment park.

I remember as a kid back in the 60's when the sub along with other props was on display at Disneyland.

The walk through of the Nautilus Submarine is alive and well at Disneyland Paris. It's construction was supervised by Tom Scherman, the ultimate 20K historian and designer. There is also a room in Walt's Restaurant on Main Street devoted to Verne and his fantastic vision. The model Nautilus displayed in its spectacular Art Nouveau fireplace was also built by Tom.

The new 4K restoration of Cinderella will be premiering at the Berlinale Classics Festival and a brief clip (with German audio) highlighting the dress transformation can be found on their website. It definitely looks like a newer transfer with a somewhat more subdued color palette, though I can’t say in all honesty whether it’s more accurate or not. The line art also looks improved, but again, I’ll leave it to the more knowledgeable members of this forum.

Don't have 4K but plan to get the DMCE Cinderella. Id be unlikely to purchase, except I'm impressed with the beautiful cover artwork. Also includes a lithograph echoing their artistic inspiration ("lithograph design may vary"), and the included medal pendant is packaged as a Disney Movie Club 20th Anniversary Collectible, btw. (And curious to see the alternate opening bonus feature, if available on the BluRay?).
I think it will make a nice addition to my Disney collection, and seems an edition worthy of Disney's 100th.

Of course unlikely they'd re-author the Bluray (or DVD), so not really expecting the new, exclusive bonus features anywhere but on the 4K disc.

...expecting less is the Mouses' moto!!!...

Reality be acknowledged - that's a good rule of thumb. Although, they could change that any time.

 

[David Norman]

Not 100% which thread if any is most helpful, but Cinderella 4K preorders are starting to get Dispatch notices.
I don't really expect to get mine before the 27th at the earliest, but some folks always get theirs a few days earlier.

Has there been any word on what transfers are being used for the current club feature title, billed as "Peter Pan 70th Anniversary + Sword In The Stone 60th Anniversary (Club Exclusive)"? Are they the same as used for the 2013 releases or have improved ones been done?

I'd bet the proverbial donuts to $$$ they're the same.

 

[jayembee]

I've little doubt that if it was a new restoration/remaster/transfer/whatever, they'd be trumpeting that fact. There would be no doubt.

Sword in the Stone has a nice 4K/ Dolby Vision digital.

Sword in the Stone has a nice 4K/ Dolby Vision digital.

Considering the 4K Sword in the Stone (with original grain structure) has been on all streaming platforms, it wouldn’t make any sense for them to stick with the old flawed Blu-ray for this re-issue, but you never know.
