An excellent Blu Ray package for what is arguably Disney's greatest triumph.  No matter how old you are Mary Poppins holds up as a great American musical classic

in the grand tradition of disney animal features, this film tells a story, with narrative propulsion, wonderful characters, intense conflict (Disney's code word used to be "Action") and a heart-warming resolution: so why is this film only being released in a Blu-ray combination? this seems to be the new test case for Disney, to force blu-ray sales, and they will probably only release DVD-only format just at (or after) christmas. i will refuse to be herded inti this promotional railroading and hope more people will let disney know this is a rude trick to play.

Superb packaging, fantastic transfer, and great entertainment held within. For the price, getting TWO copies of JURASSIC PARK (one standard, one in 3D), plus THE LOST WORLD and JURASSIC PARK III, is bargain. JP III might not be the great film ever, but its certainly watchable if you are a fan of the franchise. If not, I recommend buying the individual films that you wish. As a package, this can't be beat, and is the best way to watch the films outside of a movie theater.

Once again Pixar tarnishes what could have been a perfect blu ray release. The film itself is great and one up's the original film on every level. The animation is much more developed and you can see the growth from film to film. This being the third Pixar film, it is easy to seethe leaps and bounds this film has over the original. The toy collecting frenzy is captured perfectly here and the in jokes are just hilarious for adults.

This Blu Ray release is gorgeous and the extras are plentiful, but they didn't include the short Luxo Jr. on the Blu Ray, making a purchase of the Pixar shorts release almost a much if you want the two shorts included on this and the first Toy Story BR release. The Blu Ray is also missing an entire disc of extras that was included on the 3 disc Toy Story 1 & 2 DVD release.

If you want the film looking and sounding as good as it will every look the Blu Ray is the way to go, but it you care about the excellent bonus material, then you may want to hold on to your 2 film 3 disc DVD set.

The packaging, the transfers, the sound, and yes the video are all excellent on this Blu-ray set.  The Amazon price for this beautiful box set (As I write this, $74.99) gets you 6 movies for about $12.50 a title.  For me that is one of the best bargains on Blu-ray out there.  Just Beam these to your mailbox and enjoy!

This review is over the September 16, 2011 Blu-ray release (the box with vader's head covered in scenes from the movies). At the moment this is the only release of episodes 4-6 on blu-ray (the 1-6 is basically the same release). NOTE THAT THIS VERSION DOES NOT HAVE THE THEATRICAL RELEASE.

That All Caps aside, this is an excellent release.
PROS
- The blu-ray quality is excellent
- 3 disc set, in a small compact form
- Separate from episodes 1-3

CONS
- Doesn't contain the theatrical release
- blu-ray quality means that the CGI add-ons are easy to spot and look pretty bad IMO (even a person watching the series for the first time can tell these aren't suppose to be there)
- Cheap

Note: if you want the Theatrical Release (at the point of this review) you either need to get the old VHS or the November 4, 2008 DVD release (has vader and luke clashing with lightsabers, lots of blue, with vader's helm in the background)&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Star-Wars-Trilogy-Widescreen-Theatrical-Edition/dp/B001EN71DG/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Star Wars Trilogy (Widescreen Theatrical Edition)</a>

Disney Studios 43rd full length animated feature film Treasure Planet is an interesting entry in the Disney animated film cannon. It's closest in design to Atlantis The Lost Empire only in that is is another adventure driven film. The animation in this film is outstanding, but unlike Atlantis in this adventure we do get a song(which I found unnecessary), but it is more like a rock video than a musical number. This is a hybrid film combining hand drawn animation with CGI. It's kind of like Treasure Island meets Star Wars.

On to the product itself. The Blu Ray transfer looks fantastic and for once Disney has carried over all important bonus material from the previous edition making me give it 5 stars for not irritating me to no end. If you're looking to own Treasure Planet, the 10th Anniversary Blu Ray is the way to go. This may not be the best Disney film, but it is different and a worthy entry in the on going Disney animation cannon.

This is one of my favorite movies ever, but this review is supposed to be about the Blu-Ray (you can read reviews about the movie anywhere), so here's the deal: It's a great package. Not only do you get the movie in high definition on Blu-Ray, but you also get it on DVD, AND you get a digital copy to watch on your computer, iPhone, whatever. That plus all the extras (the original extras from the DVD release are all here, plus some additional ones just for the blu-ray release). The picture and sound quality are excellent. This is a great value for the money.

Two of Disney's best and most unique animated classics are finally coming to Blu-Ray -- Fantasia and Fantasia 2000. This is exciting news for Disney fans everywhere, but even better, Disney is including Destino, an animated collaboration between Walt Disney and Salvador Dali. This unique animated short was planned back in the 1940s, but was only completed by Disney's animators a few years ago.

This 4-disc collection includes the movies and extras on two Blu-Ray discs, along with two DVDs with the movies and limited extras. Contents for each disc are as follows:

Disc One: Fantasia Blu-Ray
* DisneyView
* Disney Family Museum
* The Schultheis Notebook - Newly discovered document reveals movie secrets
* Interactive Art Gallery
* Audio Commentaries

Disc Two: Fantasia 2000 Blu-Ray
* Destino - 2003 animated short debuting on Blu-Ray
* Dali and Disney - A date with Destino documentary
* Musicana - Walt's inpiration for a sequel
* Disney's Virtual Vault - BD-Live
* Audio Commentaries

Disc Three: Fantasia DVD
* Audio Commentary
* Disney Family Museum

Disc Four: Fantasia 2000 DVD
* Musicana - Walt's inpiration for a sequel

This will be a must-own Blu-Ray set for all Disney collectors and animation fans alike. For years, fans have been clamoring for the release of Destino, so picking this up at Amazon's discounted price is a no-brainer. For those who have been putting off upgrading to Blu-Ray, this might finally be the incentive for which you've been looking.

Disney Studios has become infamous for repeatedly revamping and re-releasing its most celebrated titles.  THE JUNGLE BOOK is the current title on this marketing merry-go-round, and the question inevitably arises: should you replace your earlier DVD with this the new "Platinum Edition?"  The answer is a firm "maybe."

Certainly there's no question about the film itself.  Released in 1967, THE JUNGLE BOOK really is one Disney's finest, a very free adaptation of the Kipling tale of a child who is raised by wolves and must break with the jungle in order to enter human society.  Beautifully animated in the classic hand-rendered style and brilliantly voiced by the likes of Phil Harris, Sebastian Cabot, Louis Prima, and George Sanders, this is a film certain to charm children and adults alike--and it is among the handful of Disney films that I have gone out of my way to keep in my library.

But do I really need all the bells and whistles of the current edition?  The re-master is nice, but I have to note that THE JUNGLE BOOK was never actually in need of a major restoration in the same way that SNOW WHITE, FANTASIA, or PETER PAN were.  It looks great, yes, but you may not notice much difference in picture and sound between the earlier DVD release and the current one.  As for the special features--I enjoyed the audio commentary and the "making of" feature; I was also amused by the "lost scene."  But I could not care less about the rest of the content, which ranges from the kiddie-silly to the uninspired.

Ultimately, your decision to purchase the Platinum Edition of THE JUNGLE BOOK rests on how much of a Disney fan you actually are.  If you can't bear to let a single item go buy, or if you are particular fan of this title, by all means purchase it--you'll find it worth the money.  And if you don't own it at all, or if you're still making do with an old VHS copy, obviously this is the way to go.  But if you do own the earlier DVD edition and you are happy with it, don't feel you have to make this "Platinum Edition" a priority.

Five stars for the film in and of itself!

Disneys' " Sleeping Beauty" was one of the first movies I ever saw in the theater and it remains one my personal favorite. This stunning DVD showcases the films strengths- its visual beauty, the gorgeous music and the splendor of its design. The story is a bit weak but the battle with the dragon alone is worth the price of this DVD- but there is so much interesting extras that both young and old will find this a must have for the collection.

Sure there are 2 or 3 omissions from this "Complete" collection, but this is, otherwise, a perfect assembly of classic theatrical animated shorts. Titles like "Californy or Bust" and "Victory Vehicles" are presented in their entirety, not cut for modern politically correct sensibilities. (Some of this material has been absent from The Disney Channel for years.) Now if only Disney will include "Der Fuhrer's Face" when it comes time to release a similar Donald Duck collection.
Fret not for "How to Ride a Horse". That short was originally presented in THE RELUCTANT DRAGON feature which is included on "Walt Disney Treasures - Behind the Scenes at the Walt Disney Studio". As for the absence of the "Freewayphobia" cartoons, I suggest that Disney consider an educational collection in the future that can include the Freewayphobia(s), the Jiminy Cricket shorts, "Donald in Mathmagic Land", and Ward Kimball's music series among others.
A note to the owners of Warner Bros. and MGM titles. "The Complete Goofy" is just the sort of thing we animation lovers are looking for in a collection. Please keep this in mind whenever you get around (please) to releasing DVDs of Bugs Bunny, the Roadrunner, Daffy Duck and a decent Tom & Jerry collection.
One more added note:  I've noticed that many of the other reviews of this title have complained about the lack of a "play all" feature.  I have found that if I use my DVD player's "shuffle" ability I can watch all of the cartoons on a disc without repeatedly pressing buttons.  Sure, this throws Maltin's introduction and the featurettes into the mix, but I find that a small price to pay.

As someone who owned the first 4 seasons on DVD I can absolutely say that the switch to blu ray for this complete 5 season series set is well worth it.  It comes with a nice (if not great) art book, plus a separate booklet detailing each episode.  The picture and sound quality for both the episodes and the extras is superb, and a definite step up from my old DVDs.  For those of you who haven't watched the series yet, this is the box to get I think.

The series finale (which I will not spoil here) was a rather clever ending that DID at least answer the biggest question of all - why wasn't Anakin's new padawn not in the movies?  The series also ends in a way that absolutely informs Anakin's perspective and who he is at the beginning of Revenge of the Sith.  For me, that's 99% of why I love this box set, because even though the show was abruptly cancelled, they did at least answer that one rather large question. Overall, the chronology stays intact and actually enhances the movies greatly in my opinion.

 ...To be fair though, there are two or three story threads that I wish would have been wrapped up, but Lucasfilm is supposed to be releasing a few more episodes next year which may (or may not) answer the remaining questions.  But speaking soley for this set I believe it (more or less) does tell a complete tale, and contains many of the absolute best Star Wars stories ever told.  And that's saying something.

Highly recommend for young and older fans alike.  Great family entertainment.

All of you people that are hating because the original films were not included in this package, there is no sense in rating this 1 star, be smart and read what you are purchasing before you do so.  I have loved Star Wars since I was a kid, watched it on VHS, DVD, and now, beautifully in Blu-Ray.  Sure there are the ocassional unnessary additions, but that doesnt take away from the beauty that is this films fully remastered and looking more beautiful than ever.  The sound has been remastered and sounds amazing with my Vizio soundbar! I couldn't be more pleased with this product, great job by George Lucas.  The packaging is amazing too, definitaly makes it a keepsake and a collectors item.

Fantastic set!!! There are tons of extras and the video transfer is sharp for all 5 movies. If you're a fan even slightly, these are must-own blu-ray additions.

My girlfriend and I are avid Disney fans and continue to enjoy most of their work. We were pleasantly surprised to find the DVD packaged in with the Blu-Ray as our TV is currently being worked on and we couldn't wait to watch these (we could have watched the digital copies without the DVD, but we were able to watch it on our computer instead!) This was a nice collection of shorts, introduced by the people

We love this Toy Story blu-ray collection of all three movies in one package. It's a great way to have the trilogy all in one and organized in a box set. It was easy to open and start watching immediately, simply remove the plastic wrap and each blu-ray case slid out and popped open, no extra seals to mess with. All the movies played well and clear on our blu-ray player. It's a very convenient way of having all three movies with matching cases as a set rather than buying them separately and the price is reasonably affordable for blu-rays.
