DVDs in Moratorium?

[JzeroT1437]

Anybody know if Disney has plans to rerelease Fantasia or Beauty and the Beast on DVD now that they're shifting to Blu-Ray? I know Sleeping Beauty is being released in October as a Platinum Edition, which I thought it had been already--but that was apparently just a "Special Edition". I realize that B&B has had its own Platinum Edition, but Fantasia was only ever available in the Fantasia Anthology, which is now insanely expensive and rare, and the original barebones Disney DVDs.

Any plans for the rerelease of this classic? What about Pinnochio?

Fantasia is reportedly slated for a 2009 release as a Platinum Edition. I would assume that they would also release it on Blu-Ray at the same time, but who knows?

Beauty and the Beast is reportedly slated for a 2010 release, possibly as a second Platinum Edition as well as on Blu-Ray.

Pinocchio is slated for an early March 2009 release as a Platinum Edition DVD as well as Blu-Ray.

I've seen that Fantasia may never be a platinum release because it hasn't made enough money to be considered "platinum." If they give it a proper two disc treatment I don't really care what they call it.
