Apparently Disney is making its first Russian produced film called "The Book of Masters". There is not much information about it right now but I believe it is a live-action fairy tale. It is supposed to be released in fall 2009.

Speaking of Russians, anyone interested in Glago's Quest?

The Next Platinum Editions

As you all know, Disney's Sleeping Beauty is to be the first of the platinum edition movies to be released on blue ray. Over the next couple of years, 5 classics will follow. Pinocchio, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Fantasia, Fantasia 2000, and Beauty and the Beast are next up on Blue Ray.

I'm really pumped for Fantasia and Fantasia 2000 (I saw it in theatres!). What's interesting about the Fantasia 2000 is that it will be it's first re-release. I already have Fantasia on DVD but I'll buy the Platinum Edition version too because I'm that obsessed.
