I think the poster's point was that Disney is not releasing it's classics on Blu Ray. If they release titles like Jungle Book, Snow White, Cinderella, etc... parents will buy them.

On the other side of the coin... perhaps the reason Disney isn't releasing it's classic cartoon movies on BD is because there is no significant gain in sound/video quality vs. standard DVD.

Take a movie like Snow White which is over 50 years old. Even if they remaster the original tapes to a native 720p or 1080p, will folks REALLY see a difference? Is it REALLY worth the investment and added cost of BD production? Any 5.1 or 7.1 audio will have to be interpolated from the original recording... which probably isn't even true stereo? Just a thought...
