Let her down easy. It’s not like she knew that gals don’t do “creative work”. An interesting item, not from official Disney vaults. Cool stationery, I will give them points for that! From Sim Sandwich’s photostream on Flickr. His grandmother is the Mary V. Ford who didn’t get a job. Thanks to the Rocketboom blog for making me aware of this.

Disney has announced their 2009 release slate of films. These include Pinocchio: 70th Anniversary Platinum Edition (March 10) and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Platinum Edition in October. Pixar will be releasing Monsters Inc. and A Bug’s Life.

Hopefully these Blu-Ray releases will be a better release than that of Sleeping Beauty last year, which received mixed reviews, mostly due to picture quality issues such as DVNR, oversaturated colors, and color timing. There was a post about these issues and the release back in November on Cartoon Brew.

I don’t know if Walt Disney Home Entertainment has learned anything (or changed anything) since their last classic on BluRay release, but I hope they did. The issues listed here are what kept me from buying the Blu Ray release of Sleeping Beauty.
