I like Mulan, but is "classic" really the right word to use here? It's not even 15 years old.

Calling back to all of Disney's animated titles, there are only a few I like. Mulan is one of them. I don't give a hoot about Bambi, Pinocchio etc.

Classic is probably the wrong word, but kids these days consider Playstation and N64 to be 'classic'.

8 Disc Lion King Trilogy...

Wow...

Nice, the VHS can be had for 99c I'm going that route.

Actually I'm hoping they just do a nice Blu release without the 25 lbs of extra discs. I have all the extras with the DVD set plus I have no interest in the 3D or digital copy. So the movie with any extra scenes are fine. How many DVD copies do I need?

Looks like it's the 3D Lion King, along with all the other Lion King movies (1.5, 2...3?)

Isny

Time to sell off my 1.5 DVD.

Thanks for the heads up =)

8 discs sounds impressive until you figure that's 3 movies on blu, the same 3 on DVD and digital copies. Yeah... sounds excessive.

joltman

Yea, it looks like the breakdown would be
The Lion King (BD, 3D, DVD, DC)
TLK 2 (BD, DVD)
TLK 1.5 (BD, DVD)

Gizmo

Except I see 5 BDs, 1 DC and 2 DVDs. Yours makes the most logical sense, but the BDs have 'artwork', while the DVDs and DC don't.

Unless Lion King (1) DVD has artwork, while 1.5 and 2 don't?

Kory

Pretty sure this is right. And I'm sure Disney will do something along the lines of, you can only get TLK 2 and TLK 1.5 by buying this box set. Definitely interested.

Kory

One of the discs with art, presumably the original "The Lion King," is a DVD. You can read on it clearly if you zoom in that it says "Disney DVD," whereas the others either say "Disney Blu-ray" or "Disney Blu-ray 3D."

If you look at the disc to the far right with artwork, it has a "Disney DVD" logo rather then a BR logo.

Gizmo

I see it now. Didn't bother blowing the picture up. Not sure I really I want Lion King 1.5/2 though...but depending on the price, maybe.

Joe6286

Hoping the sequels are available seperately too. I enjoyed 1 1/2 but am not a fan of 2. If the price is right though (and the packaging isn't horrible), I may go with the 8 disc anyway.

It is part of the animated classics line.

Would like to pick up Lion King One and Two on Blu, really do not need the entire set, like the idea of spending forty or less then seventy plus.

Isny

$8.00 coupons available through Amazon for Beauty and the Beast 3D Combo Pack and both 3D The Lion King SKU's.

Also, there is a The Lion King Two Disc Blu Ray SKU available as well with no Amazon.com coupon for $29.99.

Any further word on if Winnie the Pooh will hit Blu this year? There is a new theatrical movie this summer, so my guess is the classic Pooh will hit store shelves when the new Pooh comes to disc.

RevengeFan

Any word on Hercules? It's the only one of the Disney animated classics that I don't own because it never received an anamorphic upgrade. What's taking so long?

Solid Snake

you mean on BD right?

Perhaps next year since 2012 is its 15th anniversary

Disney just posted on their Facebook page for Dumbo that it's coming out this fall, for its 70th anniversary. They included a link to a trailer that was just posted on Youtube (don't have enough posts to post a link to it).

Superdaddy

According to blu-ray.com, September 20 is the date for Dumbo.

You know, if you'd asked me ten years ago whether I would have cared about virtually any of the Disney movies being in my library, I would have said no. Being completely honest with myself, though, the truth is that there are several that I saw in my youth that made an impact on me in one way or another, and now I'm better able to appreciate the artistic and historical significance of some of these.

I re-watched Dumbo for the first time in ages last year for the Academy Awards challenge, and was stunned at how vividly I could recall going to see it in the theater during one if its anniversary re-releases as a child. As an adult viewer, I was better able to appreciate certain elements--such as that trippy scene where Dumbo gets drunk (that animation is stunning). There's a part of me that's even more excited about Dumbo on Blu-ray than Star Wars. 20 September, huh? Yeah, I can dig it.
