Disney announces animated movies on DVD throughout 2000
Backing up their announcement to take most of their animated movies of moratorium, Disney Home Video just unveiled their release plans for these films during the coming year.
As we had announced earlier, Toy Story will mark the debut of the studio’s new Disney Gold Collection, arriving on DVD as early as January 11! The disc will contain a brand-new, all-digital transfer and the 1988 Academy Award TM – Winning Animated Short “Tin Toy”, the “You’ve Got A Friend In Me” Music Video As Featured On The Hit Toy Story soundtrack and a documentary called “The Making Of Toy Story”.
On February 1 we will then see a re-release of Mulan, while March 7 will offer a re-release of Pinocchio – this time with the “A Wish Come True: The Making of Pinocchio” documentary that was conspicuously missing from the previous release, although it appeared on the VHS release. On April 4, Disney will release The Aristocrats, featuring an interactive Read-Along and an interactive Trivia Game. On May 2 then, Disney will release The Fox And The Hound, also featuring an interactive Read-Along and an interactive Trivia Game, as well as The Three Caballeros/Saludos Amigos and a re-release of A Bug’s Life.
Their calendar also lists the following titles for release in the following months,Make Mine Music/Melody Time on June 6, A Goofy Movie and Fun & Fancy Free on June 20. Pocahontas is scheduled for July 4, together with Alice in Wonderland and a re-release of Mary Poppins – hopefully in a newly remastered version that looks better than the previous release, followed by The Rescuers Down Under and Robin Hood on July 18. August 1 will see the release of Hercules, September 5, Pocahontas II, October 3, 2000, The Black Cauldron and The Adventures of Ichabod & Mr. Toad.
