Last week I managed to post two new DVD cover art articles (Lionsgate and Paramount), and I hope this Disney one marks the beginning of a big week. My goal is to get the Warner Bros. and 20th Century Fox cover art articles up later in the week, and while I have a number of interviews to transcribe and post, I think the goal is reachable.Anyway, the reason you’re here. Posted below are the upcoming home video titles from Disney. While there aren’t that many, one of them is “No Country For Old Men,” which is almost enough on its own.Also, I would’ve posted the Blu-Ray covers, but their press site doesn’t have them in the database yet. Hopefully by the next time I do a cover art article covering their titles, Blu-Ray will be included. After all, the format war is officially over, so I’m extremely happy to start pushing the winning HD format!And now, the new titles from the company that Walt built. 101 Dalmatians DVDFirst time on Two-Disc DVD March 4, 2008For the first time in nearly a decade, Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment unleashes 101 of the world’s most famous dogs when Walt Disney’s original dog classic, 101 Dalmatians: Platinum Edition comes to DVD March 4, 2008 for a limited time only. 101 Dalmatians is the true Disney Dog classic, considered by critics to be one of the best and most innovative Disney animated films.

Synopsis:

Newspaper advice columnist Dan Burns could use some good advice about his own relationships. A widowed parent of three daughters who are growing up in a hurry, Dan has little time to pursue his own happiness. After bringing the girls to his parents’ (Dianne Wiest and John Mahoney) Rhode Island beach house for their semiannual family gathering, Dan decides he needs a break from all the togetherness. Wandering into a used bookstore, he is mistaken for an employee by a charming customer named Marie (Juliette Binoche). Despite their shyness, an instant and undeniable attraction hints at future possibilities. But awkwardness turns to full-fledged discomfort when Dan returns to the house and is reintroduced to Marie as the new girlfriend of his fitness-instructor brother Mitch (Dane Cook).

An acclaimed new Disney classic with a hilarious twist casts a heartwarming spell when Enchanted comes to stunning Blu-ray High Definition and DVD on March 18, 2008 from Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment. Shining a witty and charming new light on a beloved genre, Enchanted is a modern day musical fairytale filled with uproarious surprises that the entire family will enjoy again and again. Both the Blu-ray Disc and DVD boast a vast kingdom of entertaining bonus features, including the trivia based BD-Java feature “The D-Files” available only on Blu-ray Disc.

 

Enchanted cleverly combines heartfelt romance with a gentle spoof of Disney films of the past as an animated heroine from a far away kingdom finds herself transformed into a real live woman in bustling New York City. Academy Award nominee Amy Adams (2005 nominee for Best Supporting Actress; Junebug) leads an all-star cast as the lovely Giselle, a storybook princess-to-be lost in the Big Apple. Academy Award winner Susan Sarandon (1996 winner for Best Actress in a Leading Role; Dead Man Walking) plays the evil sorceress Narissa who exiles Giselle from her fairytale kingdom and James Marsden (Hairspray) is her handsome prince, with Patrick Dempsey (“Grey’s Anatomy”) as a contemporary knight in shining armor and Tony Award winner Idina Menzel (2004 winner for Best Leading Actress in a Musical; “Wicked”) as his girlfriend Nancy who suspects Giselle might just be a little too good to be true. The film features dazzling animation sequences, spectacular costumes and unforgettable songs by award-winning composers Alan Menken (Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast) and Stephen Schwartz (Pocahontas, The Hunchback of Notre Dame).

Enchanted begins in the animated fairytale land of Andalasia where the charming and perky Giselle (Amy Adams) instantly captures the heart of the dashing Prince Edward (James Marsden). Desperate to keep the young lovers apart in order to preserve her control of the throne, the prince’s evil mother Queen Narissa (Susan Sarandon) transports Giselle from her whimsical homeland to the worst place she can think of—Times Square. Suddenly transformed from animated beauty into flesh and blood girl, the comely lass twirls her way through the urban jungle, blissfully unaware that dreams don’t always come true. Rescued from the streets by divorce lawyer Robert (Patrick Dempsey), who suspects she’d be better off in Bellevue, and pursued by Edward, who finds that a sword is useless against a modern day dragon—er, make that city bus—the eternally optimistic Giselle starts to wonder if “happily ever after” is what she really wants.

Walt Disney Pictures TinkerBell DVD

On DVD and Blu-ray October 28, 2008.

Tink Speaks for the First Time Ever In An All-New CG-Animated Movie!

On DVD and Blu-ray with Exclusive Bonus Features

Not since Greta Garbo made her talking film debut has the sound of a voice been so wildly anticipated! For the first time ever, one of Disney’s most beloved and classic characters will speak in Tinker Bell, a brand-new, original film coming to DVD and Blu-ray disc on October 28, 2008.

Produced by DisneyToon Studios, Tinker Bell opens the doors to the amazing, enchanting world of Pixie Hollow, home to the gorgeous and glittering Disney Fairies. With some of Hollywood’s most talented actors lending their voices to the cast, Tinker Bell is sure to delight fans of the world’s most famous fairy.

In this film, we learn of Tinker Bell’s origin: How she’s born, how she comes to Pixie Hollow and how she finds her new friends. We also learn that every fairy is born with a special talent, whether it’s making flowers grow, giving fireflies their light or tracing beautiful patterns into a winter morning’s frost. Peter Pan’s beloved sidekick discovers her talent is tinkering, and thus is given her name – Tinker Bell! As it turns out, Tinker Bell has arrived at a really important time in Pixie Hollow. The fairies are preparing to bring Spring to the mainland. The mainland is where us humans live. The more Tink hears about how fantastic the mainland will be, the more she looks forward to going…until she learns that tinkers don’t get to go to the mainland- their job is to fix things for the other fairies in Pixie Hollow.

Deciding that being a tinker fairy isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, stubborn Tink begs her new friends Rosetta, Silvermist, Fawn and Iridessa to teach her their talents so she can join them, but her misguided attempts to switch her talent lead to disaster, destroying the other fairies’ preparations for Spring! Tink is ready to leave Pixie Hollow in disgrace when she learns that the key to solving her problems lies in her unique tinker abilities…and discovers that when she’s true to herself, magical things can happen. Exclusive DVD bonus features include a set top game, a behind-the-scenes “making of” featurette and more. The Blu-ray contains all the bonus the DVD has plus an interactive feature that takes viewers deep inside the mysterious world of Pixie Hollow.
