The Magical World of
Disney Movies

Since its inception Disney has had a hold on the collective imagination. Nothing showcases this magic as well as the movies in the Disney Platinum Collection. Sadly, this series of releases is coming to an end. The good news is that select titles are still available and make a perfect gift for any Disney enthusiast that needs to complete their collection.

Every movie in the Disney Platinum Collection has been restored for optimum picture and sound. The videos are digitally restored from each movie's original negatives. This loving attention to detail extends to the removal of any impurities in the print. Platinum Edition movies have also had their audio tracks updated and remixed in Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound for a richer experience.

The movies in the Disney Platinum Collection include a second disc with various bonus features. The extras vary with each movie, but all add a new dimension of enjoyment to these classic movies.

Disney recently announced it will make the foray into Blu-ray discs with its Diamond Collection. In October of 2009, the first movie was released: Snow White and the Seven dwarfs. This is high-definition Blu-ray, letting Disney come to life as never before. And then there are the extras! Behind the scenes featurettes, a history of the story, a karaoke sing-along, games, and more.

As with the Platinum releases, movies in the Disney Diamond Collection will be on sale for a limited time. Whether you are able to track down a special movie from the Platinum Collection, or want to experience the ultimate in Disney entertainment with a Diamond title, get it now before the chance is gone.

Any of these movies make an excellent gift for any Disney fan on your list, young or old. But while you are at it, go ahead and grab a "gift" copy for your collection, too.
