It appears there won't be any more Walt Disney Treasures in the future.

Hi... Thanks so much for your kind words; they're very much appreciated. I have been told that there will be no more Treasures, and of course I'm disappointed. I have the exact same questions you do about "unfinished business," and I wish I had answers, but I don't. Nor have I been told what they plan to do under the Legacy imprint.
That this series exists at all is a minor miracle, and I feel grateful that we had a six-year run with it.
cheers, Leonard Maltin

Im quite sure the prices of these treasures will increase.

techdude · « **Reply #32 on:** Jan 12, 2007 at 12:08 AM »

Sayang kung sakali. With a lot of the series still in mid-stream. But sales seems to be lackluster kasi with 2005 releases still widely available. Probably why the 2006 issues were cut in half to 65,000@.

Sana they will reconsider.

Was surprise to see the out of print TomorrowLand still on sale at Disney Direct.

Yup, with the exception of Snow White, all other platinum titles had slipcases

ey thanks man!! kala ko kasi kaya pa nila lagyan yung ala old criterion-case yung snow white eh

2 of my PEs doesn't have a slipcase, but it was discounted though. pwde na din, bawi na lang sa HD

OT question: are the slipcases of disney platinum editions all the same? i saw a Lady and the Tramp PE and it only has a normal slipcase, which is different with the Lion King PE or Beauty and the Beast PE $:-\$

Quote from: jojitv on Sep 15, 2006 at 02:49 PM

Nope. If I remember correctly, it was only Lady and the Tramp that came out with that kind of slipcase. Everything else, with the exception of Snow White (which did not come with one), had a slipcase that opens like a book.

Quote from: techdude on Dec 28, 2006 at 10:46 PM

Disney releases are like that. Most of the time, the first or second batch will come with slipcase. Then wala na... Amazon can't help, kasi ganoon binigay sa kanila ng Disney. So parang incentive to preorder and get the DVD the moment it comes out.

First things first today: I've got GREAT news for you Disney fans. I've just confirmed this morning with Buena Vista Home Entertainment that their much loved Walt Disney Treasures line of DVDs has NOT been cancelled. In fact, I'm told that at least a couple more waves of releases in the line are planned, with the next due in time for the holidays this year. We'll post additional details as they become available, but rest assured this news comes straight from the studio and it's the real deal. So there you go, folks!

Disney DTV Sequels Coming to a Halt
Author: CHRIS TRIBBEY
Posted: June 25, 2007

The Walt Disney Co. will stop making direct-to-DVD animated sequels for many of its animated classics, according to the Associated Press. The move comes with the restructuring of DisneyToon Studios, which will operate as a separate unit of Walt Disney Animation Studios, said Dick Cook, The Walt Disney Studios chairman.

John Lasseter, chief creative officer for Walt Disney and Pixar Animation Studios, and Ed Catmull, president of Walt Disney and Pixar Animation Studios, assume responsibilities for DisneyToon, with Sharon Morrill, a 15-year Disney employee and president of DisneyToon since 2004, taking new responsibilities in the studio.

“Sharon has been an amazing leader and has done a tremendous job,” Cook said. “DisneyToon Studios has always been an integral part of the Studio and we are pleased that John and Ed will bring their vision in creating exciting original DVD premieres.”

“John and I are truly excited to be working with the talented team at DisneyToon Studios in developing and producing original stories for the home entertainment audience,” Catmull said. He added that the first projects under the revamped DisneyToon line will include Tinkerbell and a new cast of fairy characters.

The Little Mermaid III will be the final DVD-only sequel that will be released under DisneyToon.

I've read from a related article that Steve Jobs (Apple CEO, Pixar co-founder, & the biggest shareholder of Disney) once said that the quality of these direct-to-DVD sequels were quite shameful, or something to that effect. I for one, agree, and except for Lion King 1-1/2, I don't have any other DTV titles in my collection.

techdude · « **Reply #51 on:** Jul 02, 2007 at 12:41 PM »

I agree that Disney direct-to-DVD movies should be stopped. They really dilute the franchise name.

Some are truly shameful like Cinderella II: Dreams Come True and the Peter Pan Sequel. Others like Bambi II and Cinderella: A Twist in Time are okay but in no way, can it live up to the original, so it ended up pulling the name of the original down.

They should still release direct-to-video cartoons under a new name (ie not Disney or Pixar) but of original stories and characters not derivatives of their classics. I think even Walt do that (cartoon shorts, TV cartoons, etc. - no direct to video then

) as training for upcoming animators.

OT: But sometimes, it really is easier to make money for a mediocre cartoon with a great franchise name than a good new film. This weekend box office receipts is a sign of that. Dreamworks' Shrek III was panned but grossed over $100 million in it's first weekend, whereas Ratatouille earns near unanimous praise but got less than $50 million...

By 2010, I hope I'm buying HD already

techdude · « **Reply #55 on:** Oct 23, 2007 at 08:41 PM »

I would have like Pinocchio first, since it's the only limited issue that have not gotten a 2-disc release (after next March's 101 Dalmatians).

I was disappointed when Sleeping Beauty was tabled for October 2008, since that already have a decent two disc Special Edition that was available for sale as late as 2006.

Happy to see Snow White also temporary slated for October 2008. My guess is that it will launch Disney's Bluray line of Platinum Editions...

On deck for Walt Disney Treasures collection Wave 8:

" “Destino,” began in 1946 as a collaboration between Walt Disney and the famed surrealist painter Salvador Dali. A first-hand example of Disney’s interest in avant garde and experimental work in animation, “Destino” was to be awash with Dali’s iconic melting clocks, marching ants and floating eyeballs. However, “Destino” was not completed at that time. In 2003 it was rediscovered by Walt’s nephew, Roy E. Disney, who took on the challenge of bringing the creation of these two great artists to fruition. In addition to the completed “Destino”, this exciting addition to the Walt Disney Treasures line also includes an all-new feature-length documentary that examines the surprising partnership between Dali and Disney plus two new featurettes; “The Disney That Almost Was,” an examination of the studio’s unfinished projects; and “Encounters with Walt,” which addresses the surprisingly diverse group of celebrities and artists who were attracted to Walt Disney’s early work.

“Dr. Syn, Alias the Scarecrow,” which first aired as three separate episodes on Disney’s weekly TV show under the title “The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh,” was edited for theatrical releases in England and the U.S. This DVD set includes all three of the original TV episodes plus the theatrical version of the film that was released in England.

Disney fans will delight in “Chronological Donald, Volume 4,” which includes 31 classic shorts starring Donald Duck. Each of these meticulously animated adventures was created between 1951 and 1961 and has rarely been seen. All of Donald’s CinemaScope shorts will be presented in their original widescreen aspect ratio for the first time on video.

Coming November 11, 2008. A month earlier than previous Treasures waves which were mostly December releases.

Wonder how long this series will continue, considering that by 2009, the focus could shift to high-def and Blu-ray discs. My guess is that it will last one final wave (Wave 9) before they restart the cycle all over with blu-ray versions of the same treasures...
