Krikey, it seems like every time they re-release them they've been restored. Again.

People keep mentioning the Disney release policies dealing with their cartoons/animated features, and actually have no understanding on how they work...

Its not about the movies competing with one another for sales, the movies will sell no matter competition or not, it all goes back to the days of VHS, everybody remember those right. What they did was figured out how long the VHS media would last before having to be replaced and picked an arbitrary release print length number, not really it was based on sales decline numbers, 6 months if I remember right, and then they removed it from printing, as soon as the copies which were printed were gone that was the last that were available until the movies were re-released several years later. Why was this important? It meant that the price of the movie didn't drop over time like most movies do, remember Disney's main income source is their cartoons/animated features. It also meant that when the movie finally was released that many of the copies previously sold would then need replacing and since the movies were hard to come by because only legitimate copies that were out there were all the same age or older it meant there weren't really any cheap copies to be had, because even bootleg copies were fetching a premium, so Disney could release the movies at the same price as before. They continued this practice with DVD following close to the same time line without much modification, ignoring the fact that DVDs fair far better than VHS, and now they are planning their Blu-ray release schedule along the same lines, which will probably never hit the second release for the movies like DVD did due to the increasing decline in the disc media market. Unless they expand their release list to include more movies each year you can expect only 6-8 more Disney "Classics" to be released on Blu-ray by the time the market is being phased out for another format/other formats, btw that is probably 2020.]]>Sep 23rd 2009 11:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/22/disney-releasing-14-classics-on-blu-ray-over-the-next-7-years/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/22/disney-releasing-14-classics-on-blu-ray-over-the-next-7-years/Sep 23rd 2009 1:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/22/disney-releasing-14-classics-on-blu-ray-over-the-next-7-years/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/22/disney-releasing-14-classics-on-blu-ray-over-the-next-7-years/Sep 23rd 2009 5:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/22/disney-releasing-14-classics-on-blu-ray-over-the-next-7-years/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/22/disney-releasing-14-classics-on-blu-ray-over-the-next-7-years/]]>Sep 23rd 2009 9:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/22/disney-releasing-14-classics-on-blu-ray-over-the-next-7-years/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/22/disney-releasing-14-classics-on-blu-ray-over-the-next-7-years/Sep 24th 2009 5:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/22/disney-releasing-14-classics-on-blu-ray-over-the-next-7-years/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/22/disney-releasing-14-classics-on-blu-ray-over-the-next-7-years/Sep 26th 2009 9:01PM
