Those covers look great. I guess this means we will FINALLY see these wonderful films on Blu-ray this year?

I know that'll never happen in some cases (usually with the films I love) but I can wish. I'll still buy Fantasia on Blu-Ray and re-watch it over and over again as I did with the DVD, the Laser Disc and the VHS copies I've owned in the past.
It would be nice if they could release it in it's original theatrical form and just slap on one of those Leonard Maltin introductions explaining the context and time it was made, like they did with a couple of the cartoon short discs.

I really like the Fantasia 2000 cover, not digging the Fantasia cover though.

digitalbits also notes the Fantasia films have been mixed in 7.1 DTS HD MA sound (...matrixed or discrete?!?)

Is there such a thing as DTS-HD matrixed sound? I thought HD by nature was always discreet. I have no idea though.

that's my understanding, Toy Story 3 in the theatre and on the bluray will be discreet. Every other 7.1 bluray is the 5.1 mix (front center right, rear right and left right are discreet) with the two channel surround sound tracks spread to the four rear speakers

Strange how the MSRP is only $6 higher on the Fantasia collection than Beauty and the Beast

Edited to add: What lackluster special features. Way to drop the ball Mouse

Lame, but I guess 4 discs was pushing it. I would have taken a 3rd BD to hold the features for both instead of DVD versions.

I would have liked to see this in HD, if possible:

Re: Disney Classic Animation BD Plans: 2009-2010 - Pinocchio, Snow White, Fantasia, B

Amazon has the pre order up right now and Wow the fantasia 2 movie collection is only 31.99!! right now.

I thought for sure that the lowest we could hope for was going to be in 40 price range being that its 2 movies and all.
Have a feeling it will get down to 24.99 by release day and hopefully even though its a 2 movie set disney will do some sort of 10.00 coupon.
that would be supper cool to get both movies for 14.99 total.

as for fantasia world, perhaps some higher ups took notice of it and thought perhaps they could potentially turn it into another Fantasia theatrical release in a few years or something.

Here's the full post, from back in June:

Among the many special features will be an interactive edition of the fabled Shultheis Notebook, a priceless animators "bible" compiled over the career of one of Fantasia's key creators, and the first-ever home video release of Destino, Walt Disney's collaboration with Salvador Dali. Destino is backed by its own 70-minute documentary.

The folks at Disney have also thought up a novel way to preserve archival, standard-definition bonus features without cluttering up the disc: We will be able to download them via BD-Live! The Fantasia box will be released in December, at a price to be determined.

I thought most BD Live features were streaming.

Apparently plans changed since then, as there will not be a BD of extras from the sound of things....from all I have read, the 4 disc set will be:
Disc 1: Fantasia BD
Disc 2: Fantasia 2000 BD
Disc 3: Fantasia DVD
Disc 4: Fantasia 2000 DVD
with bonus features spread out on the discs.....
