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.
King’s Cross Summer Sounds got off to an explosive start as The Molotovs brought their high-energy live show to Coal Drops Yard. The fast-rising trio were the surprise headliners for the opening night of the festival, delivering a lively set of neo-punk that drew heavily from their debut album Wasted on Youth. They also found…
