Bogus Reviews on a Disc Not Yet Released But...

I am in the Sleeping Beauty camp. This is the first film I remember seeing in a movie theater in 1959, I was all of three years-old but the imagery has remained with me and this is my favorite of all the "Fairy Tales" Walt put out.

I can't wait for the Blu-ray release (and this coming from a former HD DVD fan.) But you go with the flow with high def. Anyone who gets a prescreen copy let me know, I don't have a lot of patience.

I am looking forward to real reviews once the discs are out. June 16, 2008

Classic

There is no better movie than a Disney classic. Sleeping Beauty is one of my all time favorite stories, every little girl wants to be a princess and a have a handsome prince save her. No little girl should be without this classic. May 14, 2008

Disney's Sleeping Beauty on Blu-Ray

History repeats itself! "Sleeping Beauty" was the first animated Disney film to be released on VHS tape (*many* moons ago), so it makes perfect sense that it would be their first animated film to be released on Blu-Ray. I can hardly wait! I have always loved the distinctive artwork (kudos to the late-great Eyvind Earle) and the villianess that is Maleficent (voiced by the same actress as the Evil Stepmother in "Cinderella"). And knowing that it was originally made in wide screen format, it will certainly be a feast for the eyes on Blu-Ray! April 22, 2008

About time!

Sleeping Beauty is one of Walt Disney's greatest films. It also marks the last Disney Animated Feature to use the traditional hand-inked cells where afterwards, the Disney animators Xeroxed their drawings from paper to cells starting with 101 Dalmations. Sleeping Beauty has been released on 2-Disc DVD set before but now it's getting the Platinum Edition treatment and what a wait it is going to be for us Disney fanatics! The best part is that the film will be released on DVD and (finally) Blu Ray! I'm very surprised that Disney didn't release other films like Peter Pan, The Jungle Book and 101 Dalmations on Blu Ray, even though they were available when Disney on Blu Ray first came around. Oh well. The next Disney Animated Feature on Blu Ray will be Pinocchio next spring and how amazing that is going to look! I just hope that other animated features like Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and all of the other classics get Blu Ray releases (if you look at the old Disney Blu Ray ads, they claim that movies like Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin will be coming soon to Blu Ray-if you own Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, you'll see-..). But it is really great that Sleeping Beauty will be the first Disney Animated feature to get the Blu Ray treatment and the first 2D animated film at that! April 13, 2008

1:33:1 P&S Edition of BLUE RAY? Really?

This has to be a typo, if not, what a sad release this will be for the first big classic Disney on Blue Ray. I mean, wasn't this film in particular THE first widescreen Disney animated feature? ;) March 25, 2008
