A while back, the following list was posted.  I got "101 Dalmations" last night
(I guess I'd never seen this in a theater or on the Disney station before, and
I was expecting the animation to be a little second rate, but I thought it was
great!).  Anyway, on that new video it has a preview of Disney's next animation
release: "Aladdin" (which also look like its going to be superb), and a couple
of announcements of the next animation features that will be released on video.
Both "The Great Mouse Detective" and "Beauty and the Beast" will be out on vid-
eo in 1992!  So I've updated the list with that new info.  Unfortunately, I
don't know what is currently available for purchase, but the a few video stores
in this area carry all those that are released.
 
I was also wondering if "Snow White" will ever be released on video.  I thought
at one time Disney had a set of animated features that would never be released
to video or shown on the Disney channel, but then I never thought "Fantasia"
would be available on tape either.  It looks like "Snow White" is the only
"super classic" that is still unavailable.  Does anybody (maybe a Disney emp-
loyee or insider) know anything about the possiblity of seeing "Snow White" in
the near future in theaters or on video?
 
Here's the list (w/ thanks to Steve Ostrove):
