Sounds about right. Doesn't Disney usually put out their own blu-rays around the same time?

Just recently got the hunchback of notre dame on blu-ray through disney movie rewards.
the movie looks fantastic and I'm glad I used my points on it, but I'm really bummed out by the lack of special features on there. there were only 3 things, and they were all left over from the dvd version. i was surprised since all my other disney blu-rays have a good amount of bonus features.
oh well, at least i got the slip cover with it and the cover looks good for the most part.

Using the code [30058]
I ordered
Jungle Book 2
Little Mermaid 2/3
Porco Rosso
Pom Poko
Princess Mononoke
Kiki's Delivery Service
Tales from the Earthsea
for a grand total of $21.95. All are blu-ray!!! Such a crazy deal.
Once Spirited Away and The Cat Returns comes out; I'll need to buy those for $29.95 each, then I can cancel my membership. Little over $80 for all these movies is a crazy good deal.

Picked Jungle Book & Hercules blu-rays up on a whim while I was out shopping. Haven't been really collecting much of the blu rays sans the really important to me ones, but holy shit is Jungle Book incredible. Incredible looking, incredible box, incredible special features. Might be the best blu-ray I own now.

While the thread is bumped, the notoriously unreliable Disney Wiki has been updated with a user claiming that Black Cauldron and other films will be DMC exclusives in the fall. Either they will or they won't, I guess. I'm just hoping the remainder of the films release physically at all. Disney as a company is obviously rapidly transitioning to digital.
I also overspent compared to what I would have paid on Amazon. Oh well.
I guess for more niche stuff, but they're also arguably the most dominant company when it comes to shelf space.

I'd take DMC exclusives over nothing.
Digital sucks with premium pricing and lower quality than bluray. Disney just released Star Wars digitally for the first time ever at $20 each. Yay.

I guess that would be better than nothing. I'm curious about this movie. It's one of the few in the Disney cannon that I haven't seen.

was out and found pinocchio and snow white for $50 total. Snow white is in the stupid dvd case, but whatever.
So glad I got these, as I've got all the US vaulted titles now on bluray. Had to import a bunch from the UK, but it's the same to me.

A random poster on blu-ray.com claims to have called Disney and managed to get a rep to say there was a listing in the system for a Saludos Amigos / Three Caballeros 2-pack and The Black Cauldron. I would take this with a grain of salt
Still, thought I'd pass it along:

Lately I've been unable to un-notice that even Sleeping Beauty uses copious amounts of DNR.

That's Disney.
They just don't seem to give much of a shit about their own history anymore and DNR is popular with morons.

I know it's early, but any word if Disney is going to do some type of 3 pack with Aladdin and its sequels?

There was a promotion at HMV (downtown Montreal) today on a lot of blu-rays. Every title that are usually listed as "2 for $25" were now "2 for $20".
Among other non-Disney stuff, I got Atlantis, Dumbo, The Emperor's New Groove, The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, Oliver and Company, Lilo & Stitch, Rescuers and The Great Mouse Detective for 10 bucks each.
Some of those I have never seen... I'm too embarrassed to say which ones.

No word. They are not releasing Aladdin with the sequels, but it's highly likely they would release Aladdin stand-alone and then the sequels together (as they did, for instance, with The Little Mermaid and Cinderella, two other titles that had two sequels)

I'm definitely going to pick up this collection but I'm a bit miffed that they're not in 3D (just like every other US Disney release these days, blah). Paperman was amazing in 3D!
Here's hoping they do bundle the sequels, but remember that The Lion King's sequels got stand-alone releases so Disney might try to milk us again.
Speaking of Aladdin, the US box art is up on Amazon:
I like the composition of the image but the characters' faces look a little off to me..

They do look kind of weird, especially their expressions.
Nowhere near as bad as the cover of Anastasia, though. And I'll take whatever I get just so I can have Aladdin at all.

Did Disney ever release the Glago's Guest short anywhere? I saw it at SIGGRAPH 2008 and it was apparently dropped from whatever movie it was supposed to be attached to. It was an interesting short.

It does, yours just didn't come with one. You might be able to buy a sleeve through Disney though.

I just got the little mermaid off amazon and no sleeve either. One of these days I might call to replace my missing slip covers but I hate to pay out of pocket for them, even though it's not too much.

If you want slip-covers, buy stuff near release. I'd say about 50% of what I buy more than a year after release doesn't have them. With respect to Oliver and Company, I bought it last summer and it didn't have a slipcover then.

Probably a dumb question, but how do you notice DNR? What do you look for, and what's an example of a Disney re-release that didn't have DNR applied to it?

In live action, it's very easy to notice, because there's no film grain and no pores. In animation, the lines will seem less crisp and more blurry. If you can't see it on your own, there's no reason to train yourself to be less happy with your blu-rays, but if you can see it, it can be pretty annoying. For that Sleeping Beauty picture, blow it up and look at how blurry all the thin lines are and how there's no texture on any of the shading.

I think this is true for all minor releases no? Robin hood was the same when I bought at release last year.
SB is a mild case by Disnye's standards, but look at the blurry, smeared, undefined outlines of the characters.
DNR destroys that kind of fine detail.
The Lion King in comparison looks crisp.
Thank Jebus TLK went through an exhaustive remastering/reassembly process for its 3D conversion.
Well The Lion King wouldn't have had grain like the older films would have, which is why the more recent Disney films look great. There's this group of people who see grain and freak out and think it looks bad or old or whatever, so some companies go out of their way to destroy a picture to remove it.
We're heading down to the final stretch. You haven't missed anything except Patch's London Adventure. The only known major thing for the rest of the year is Aladdin and they haven't said how they're handling the sequels releases.

I don't have a Robin Hood slipcover, but one does exist.
Why do you feel the OP isn't updated? It's a complete list of the main animated canon (not including sequels, spinoffs, or other random movies); the only update it needs is switching Aladdin's tentative date to its confirmed date, but I wasn't going to bother. One of the reasons why I didn't include sequels/spinoffs was lack of demand, but the other reason was because other than the DTV sequels to movies that are part of the vault cycle, nothing else goes in the vault. You can still get all of Pixar's movies, all of POTC, all of Marvel, all of DisneyNature, all the Pooh spinoffs, etc.
The main canon movies subject to the vault are:
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs - VAULTED
Pinocchio - VAULTED
Fantasia - VAULTED (released as a double-pack with Fantasia 2000)
Dumbo - Available
Bambi - VAULTED
Cinderella - Available
Alice in Wonderland - Available
Peter Pan - VAULTED
Lady and the Tramp - VAULTED
Sleeping Beauty - Available
One Hundred and One Dalmatians - Available
The Jungle Book - Available
The Little Mermaid - Available
Beauty and the Beast - VAULTED
Aladdin - No Blu-Ray Release, releasing this October
The Lion King - VAULTED
(all of this is noted in the OP)
The sequels and spinoffs that are currently vaulted but that did at one point have a Blu-Ray release:
Bambi II
Return to Never Land
Lady and the Tramp II: Scamp's Adventure
Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas
The Lion King II: Simba's Pride
The Lion King 1½
Sequels/spinoffs that are not currently vaulted but might be at some point:
Cinderella II: Dreams Come True + Cinderella III: A Twist in Time
101 Dalmatians II: Patch's London Adventure
The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea + The Little Mermaid III: Ariel's Beginnings

I think OP is excellent. It's the most helpful spot on the internet for checking availability IMO.
I just wish I'd started my Disney BD collection earlier. Would've loved to have picked up some of the vaulted titles.

Sometimes I put on my Lion King blu-ray for like ten minutes just to stare in disbelief how utterly, stupidly gorgeous it all is. Like its one of those 10/10 demo material kinda discs.
Speaking of which, uh, this Spirited Away blu-ray tho? This Spirited Away blu-ray tho. Sure took its sweet time come to America, but the transfer is perfect, man.

What about an extremely goofy movie
A Goofy Movie is one of my favs and An Extremely Goofy Movie is one of my favourite sequels, but neither are the mainline stuff so I didn't include it.
