Do you mean animated Disney films? Nothing's been announced yet, though several titles are rumored for release later this year. "A Bugs Life" will be coming out in May.

Yeah it was animated films. I think I originally saw it on a dvd mailing list that I am on and had the web address but I forgot as to where it was.

Disney and Buena Vista dive into DVD... finally!


February 12, 1999



We just got off the phone with the good folks over at Buena Vista Home Video and we have been able to find out some exciting news about the company's future DVD plans.
There are some good news and there are some bad news, so let's start with the bad news first. There are still no plans at Buena Vista to create and release any 16x9 enhanced discs. Buena Vista still feels there are just not enough widescreen TV sets in the market that would justify the additional expense and work for anamorphic DVD releases. Although there are a number of requests from the company's customers, they still represent only a small - though very vocal - group within a niche.
Now for the good news. First of all, the folks at Buena Vista have repeatedly told us in the past that they are trying to increase their monthly DVD output but a number of issues, mostly legal in nature, have caused titles to fall through the cracks repeatedly. A spokesperson of the company told us today that Buena Vista are taking the legal implications extremely seriously and make sure to obtain complete rights to any material they intent to publish on DVD, which is also part of the reason why their discs do not feature a great deal of extras. Now, many of these issues seem to be resolved and Buena Vista are preparing a huge slate of releases for the months to come. As of May and June, expect to see 12-15 titles a month from Buena Vista and its affiliated partners, Miramax, Touchstone, Dimension and Disney.
Speaking of Disney in particular, Michael Johnson of Disney has only recent made an public statement which insinuates that Disney is planning to finally start shipping their animated classic movies on DVD before the end of this year. The article, published in "Video Week", is a very clear signal and although no release dates or details have been announced yet, our spokesperson at Buena Vista confirmed the validity of its content today.
So, if you have been waiting for the animated Disney classics, the wait is almost over. We will certainly see title announcements during the summertime with releases following in fall, just in time for the 1999 Christmas Holidays.
