Disney is releasing the Disney Classics Complete 62 Movie Collection Box Set, a sweeping archive of every feature from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to Moana 2. For animation fans, collectors, and Disney obsessives, it’s an irresistible proposition: 87 years of cinematic history distilled into one hefty, deluxe Blu-ray package.
The collection arrives at a time when physical media has become a connoisseur’s format. Fitting, as Disney’s animated canon isn’t just a run of family films; it’s the backbone of modern animation.
Walt’s early features carry the imprint of breakthroughs that reshaped cinema: Snow White proving a feature-length cartoon could be viable; Pinocchio pushing character animation and technical innovation; Fantasia marrying art, theatrical audio and classical music…
Expect those early classics to benefit most clearly from ongoing restoration work. Disney’s custodians have spent decades refining these films, frame by frame, stabilising ageing cels, cleaning up optical artefacts, and enhancing colour gradients.

A complete Disney animation legacy in one collection
Film fans will also appreciate the inclusion of five UK Blu-ray debuts: Saludos Amigos, The Three Caballeros, Make Mine Music, Melody Time, and the wonderfully strange fantasy curio The Black Cauldron. These often-overlooked titles finally receive full high-definition treatment, offering a clearer look at Disney’s experimental and transitional eras, when wartime pressures and shifting tastes pushed the studio to try unusual formats, anthology structures and darker tones.
The presentation is suitably lavish. Discs are housed in a deluxe gatefold book, partnered with original theatrical poster art, a reminder of how central poster design once was to Disney’s identity.
An accompanying 128-page commemorative coffee table tome charts Walt Disney Animation Studios from 1937 to today, offering context for the technological advances, stylistic pivots and cultural shifts that shaped each era. Ten collectible 12-inch art cards, reproducing sketches and concept work from across the decades, add a gallery-like flourish.
Across the discs, we’re promised behind-the-scenes documentaries, archival Walt introductions, making-of featurettes, deleted scenes, songs in demo form, and commentary tracks featuring animators, voice actors and historians.
It’s a treasure trove for fans who enjoy peeking behind the curtain: how The Little Mermaid revived an ailing animation department; why Lilo & Stitch’s hand drawn animation and watercolours harked back to Dumbo; and how Frozen’s snow simulation demanded a new suite of technical tools.
Later films, from the renaissance era of Aladdin and The Lion King, through the CG breakthroughs of Bolt and Tangled, to the modern outings Raya and Encanto, are presented at their most polished. Even the transitional years, full of experiments like The Emperor’s New Groove and Treasure Planet, are granted their rightful place in the lineage.
UK punk legends The Damned have released a kinetic reinterpretation of The Lovin’ Spoonful’s 1966 classic ‘Summer in the City,’ as the final single from their upcoming covers-album, Not Like Everybody Else, and announced a series of live shows, marking half a century of smashing things up. Recorded in just five days at Revolver Studio,…
Sky’s 2026 programme slate is a tantalising mix of recognisable franchises, new originals and returning favourites. Leading the content charge is A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, a new chapter in the Game of Thrones universe set a century before the events of the original series, here swapping dragons strafing armadas for a smaller show…
Whether you’re shopping for a Disney-loving adult, a little one who knows every Pixar line by heart, or a friend who simply loves great pop culture design, this is the ultimate edit of the very best Disney gifts worth giving. From chic homeware and cosy loungewear to collector’s pieces, beauty finds and budget-friendly stocking fillers,…
