Talk:Walt Disney Signature Collection/@comment-39899378-20190622192757

There’s no way to know for sure what comes next but logically this could make sense:

Late 2019 A 4K Animated Aladdin to tie in with the home release of the live action Aladdin

Early 2020 Sleeping Beauty to tie in with the home release of Maleficent 2 (although this may release 2019 instead as Disney seems to be trying to make as many of their signature collection movies anniversary editions as well. So perhaps this will release Late 2019 with the theatrical release of Maleficent, but would make Aladdin hard to place)

Mid 2020 Jungle Book as a Signature Collection Release to leave us with:

Late 2020 101 Dalmatians as a Signature Collection Release to tie in with the theatrical release of Cruella. (Though this could also release in Early 2021 as an anniversary edition to tie in with the Home release of Cruella instead. Although Disney has shown us with Cinderella that they can still call it an anniversary edition the year before a proper anniversary date)

At some point in 2020 they could release Fantasia as a 2 movie Club Exclusive similar to the Little Mermaid and Cinderella sequels (Hopefully with a digital copy unlike the exclusive Dalmatians and Jungle Book editions they have available right now) as these have never been a pet of any official collection line, but released every 10 years.

With all the main movies completed, 2021 could bring us the 4K edition of Beauty and the Beast for its 30 year anniversary. If they want to complete their 3 signature releases per year, they could also rerelease Alice in Wonderland and Dumbo for their 70&80 year anniversaries with digital copies as a wide public release. Currently the 65&75 year anniversary editions of those two with digital copies are Club Exclusives. Public release editions lack a digital copy.

I think this may be their last collection too as the vault has been done away with. They may just rerelease some titles in 4K later but still as part of the signature collection similar to how Lion King’s 4K came out a year later. Future extras will probably be limited to their Disney+ service as an incentive to get people to subscribe for all those exclusive extras.

This is just my prediction, no way to know for sure. Tie in with live action releases make sense, but they haven’t necessarily been the case in the past. The Lion King was an odd one being released twice within a years time, neither time for its 25th anniversary which would have been this year, tying it perfectly with the live action release. But instead we got a new version each year since 2017(-HD, 2018-4K, 2019-Live Action)
