What Disney films do you want a Blu Ray release and why?

[BDuncan]

Granted that most films made and released within the last 10 years that Disney have released,
are now available on Blu Ray, what Disney (live action or animated) films you greatly admire
(that aren't yet out on Blu Ray) do you want to see get a Blu Ray release sooner rather than
later and please say why, for each fave film named.

Pixar. Any and All, RIGHT NOW!

And Tarzan, because it's boss!

[mavrach]

Would love to see Lion King. I've never been hugely into Disney movies, but I keep coming back to that one.

[Dan Mancini]

And Tarzan, because it's boss!

The flick is slightly diminished by its Phil Collins-iness, but otherwise, yes, it's boss...and would look great on Blu. Double word-up on the Pixar stuff (especially The Incredibles).

In terms of the classics, Peter Pan would be cool, as would 101 Dalmatians. Also, The Shaggy D.A. (just kidding).

[cdouglas]

I'd really love to see The Hunchback of Notre Dame on Blu-ray. A feast in terms of visuals and music, and a somewhat overlooked Disney gem of recent years.

Song of the South. I also want that wonderful soundtrack in HD.

I'll take "Two Worlds" over any of the Elton Jon crapola in The Lion King any day of the week, month, year, decade, century, eon.

The Tarzan DVD is still drop dead gorgeous, i can only imagine the shipwreck scene at the beginning or the cheetah showdown on blu. Also Tarzan gets the vote for "darkest villain death" in an Disney flick

Well, yeah, but that's like choosing between being stung by a scorpion or bitten by a rattle snake. One or the other might be preferable, but they both still hurt like a bitch.

Word. The Lion King is a close second with the whole savaged-by-hyenas thing.

I will see your Ripped apart by Hyenas and Raise you a having flesh and bone peeled away by the sinister power of the Black Cauldron.

No lie. I just watched the whole thing for the first time last week, with my mom. I really think it goes right over the kids' heads. I just didn't get it when I was 14 (when it came out). The final nail in the coffin for kid-friendliness is that the songs aren't too compelling in and of themselves -- I appreciate them mainly for the character development. Like the chilling look into Frollo's lustful and half-insane mind.

I do think a Blu-Ray release would look fantastic -- certainly there's got to be some kind of update, because the bare-bones release has a terrible transfer.

How about the glowing-eyed gargoyle casting Frollo into what looks very much like a lake of fire?

I'd love to see a Blu-Ray release for The Lion King. Asshole sold me a copy through Amazon that was supposed to be new but was used and was the Canadian release besides. I don't know about Peter Pan, though, and I think 101 Dalmations would be a waste of time to release on Blu-Ray. It's a fine movie, but not much of a visual feast.

Thank you for your well thought out response. Have you seen this movie? They clearly put much less work into it than into, say, Alice in Wonderland. The backgrounds are similar to those in Oliver & Company, so static and indistinct that it looks like the characters are acting in front of stage props. The character animation's pretty good, but nothing to write home about. What brings on the thoughtful, articulate response of

You're hopelessly without a sense humor. Um, no, I've never actually seen the movie; I just threw it out there as an "I wish it were on Blu-ray" title out of desperate ignorance. And yes, much like the cartooning of Al Hirschfeld, those backgrounds in 101 Dalmatians suck ass (because they didn't put any work into them).

The movie's stylized look and the energy of its animation is exactly why I'd dig seeing it in high def. Plus, as a movie, I'll take it over Alice in Wonderland any day of the week.

101 is a classic, and the character animations, particularly on the titular canines is pretty damned fantastic work, even by today's standards. Alice in Wonderland very nearly caused me to gouge my own eyeballs out in manic frustration.

The Disney The Hunchback of Notre Dame did not work for me at all because the House of Mouse has not the balls to do a dark ending. Instead we get this week ass ending where the people, represented by a little girl, embrace Quasimodo FOR NO APPARENT REASON!

funny? I don't even know what it means, beyond a vague sense of condescending disagreement.

The animation's fine. I just don't think it's anything special, compared to other Disney movies. If you don't like Alice in Wonderland, think of Sleeping Beauty. Easily superior.
