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.
The Young Vic Theatre has unveiled its 2026/27 season, with the headline attraction a new stage musical of Thelma & Louise; this bold reimagining of the 1991 road-movie classic opens the Main House season in September. The musical adaptation stars Amy Lennox as Thelma and Rachel Tucker as Louise. More than three decades after the…
The White Lotus has officially checked into the French Riviera for its fourth season, with filming now under way across Cannes, Saint-Tropez and Monaco. For a series that has made a habit of turning luxury destinations into characters in their own right, the Côte d’Azur feels like an especially inspired next stop. Season four will…
