'Sleeping Beauty' -- pre-release buzz

[PeterB]

Disney has finally set a date for 'Sleeping Beauty,' its first Platinum title on Blu-ray:

The date is October 7, and retail $34.95.

Disney says the press release is still on the way, so the only specs known at the moment are that it will be BD-Live-enabled, plus will contain the studio's first-ever PCM 7.1 Surround track.

We'll have more as soon as it comes in...

it was funny because i had mentioned something about disney needing to restore and release their classic animated films then a minute later i see a preview for this one... i was thinking they would pick a different movie for the first bluray release but at least they are finally digging into the vaults

I really want to see what they can do with these old Disney flicks.
Come On DUMBO!

I missed this on dvd the first time around. I will definitely be picking this up. I hope they release the sword in the stone in . That is my favorite disney film along with the Great Mouse Detective.

Looking forward to it even though I hate the movie, can't wait to see what Disney does for this release.

I want The Little Mermaid!

I love being blu!.... Will pick this up for my daughter first day it comes out.

I really want The Lion King, Disney's best animated movie ever

This is a definite buy for me. All of the platinum titles will be. I hope Disney also goes back and releases a few other titles from their library like Mary Poppins, that would be great in high-def, as well as titles like The Black Hole, and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and of course Fantasia.

Not only will it be great to have this film in high-def, but the uncompressed soundtrack I am equally looking forward to. Glad they picked the first release to be this film, with a stereo soundtrack!

my girl will love this, i hope for lilo and stitch, jungle book,

My daughter will wear this one out.

It will be interesting to see the new print and audio goodies. The final battle should be a treat.

You have to give props to them for squeezing every last bit of PR out of these titles - wasn't this originally talked about at CES 2007? 18 months of buzz? Better yet, we can look forward to page-topping headlines for the release of the cover art, spec announcements and (hopefully not) release date bump.

Disney releases are a strange animal because the kids don't really care if its on HDM, but I pick them up because its a "family" movie experience. Of course, this didn't stop me from picking up Cars TWICE after seeing it in the theaters with few fireworks.

I can't wait to get this one!
Looking forward to this a lot, but i also really want Pinnochio.
