One of the nicer things about running a site like JimHillMedia.com is that — every so often — someone decides to share something truly amazing with you.
The following is one of those items: A pretty darned complete listing of Buena Vista Home Entertainment’s next 18 months worth of releases.
It’s all here, people. The home video and Disney DVD release dates for “Finding Nemo,” “Brother Bear,” “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl” and “The Haunted Mansion.” Movies that are weeks (and in some cases, still months!) away from their initial theatrical releases. But now you can find out when Disney is planning the DVD and video versions of the films to hit store shelves.
How did I get ahold of this super secret information? Sorry, but that would be telling. Let’s just say that I have an extremely thoughtful friend who works deep inside the Mouse House … who (I’m guessing here) I now owe a pretty sizable dinner to.
Anyway … enough with my senseless yammering. Let me get out of the way here so you start feasting your eyes. Better yet, start marking up your calendars; you’ll know exactly when to head out to the mall to pick up your copies of “Lilo & Stitch: Special Edition,” “Mulan 2,” “Mickey’s 3 Musketeers” et al.
Enjoy!
